The hub for Transition communities in Waltham Forest. Transition Leytonstone is the first.

Transition Town Tooting (TTT) is a local community group in south-west London that aims to make change in how we live, where we live in light of climate change. We do this by running projects of all kinds that fit with living more sustainably engaging with our local community, facilitating change and partnering with other groups.

TRANSITION TUFNELL PARK!
Transition Tufnell Park has been through many blossoming years of working through the ‘Transition Town’ stages. Raising awareness in the neighbourhood around environmental/social justice issues, creating projects groups, events, partnerships, relationships, community and more.
Some of the projects over the years have included; film screenings, socials, creating a community garden, foraging walks, critical mass bicycle rides, getting more bicycle hoops in the local area, pub quizzes, creating a local market and sustaining this for some time, local fruit tree planting, bulb planting, and energy group looking at renewables in the area, later forming a coalition with other North London transition towns to create ‘Power Up North London’, community building / reflection events, creating a bicycle powered sound system.. and lots more!!
The last few years of the ’20 teens’, the Transition Town has been in a lower energy, more dormant phase. Since the core steering group disbanded a few years back, no new projects have been inspired to emerge.
There are many relationships, infrastructure, and magic that has been created together and.. after some composting… TTP trusts and hopes that the right people will appear to help it along its way again!
We’ve had huge amounts of interest from local people who can’t wait to get going and we’re waiting for YOUR ideas!

Our group’s purpose is ‘a happy, healthy Walthamstow, where through working together as a community we can reduce our energy use and increase our resilience’.
In Walthamstow we aim to support local organisations that encourage the development of more resilient communities,
help local people gain low carbon and low energy living skills, reduce their living costs, and enjoy the benefits of better connectedness with their community, and
run projects which demonstrate the potential for Walthamstow to reduce its planetary impact. We meet at 7.30pm on the second Monday of each month at Ye Olde Rose & Crown pub, 53 Hoe Street, Walthamstow, E17 4SA.

A group for anyone interested in starting a Transition Town initiative in Lewisham. People are already mulling things over in Brockley, Sydenham, Lee Green and New Cross. Use this group to link up with others in your area

We are a group of people living in Highbury, in London, whose aim is to help each other, and others, to live more sustainably. We are linked to the Transition Towns Network, which has community initiatives around Britain and across the world.
These communities have started up projects related to food, transport, energy, education, housing, waste, the arts, and others, as small-scale, local responses to the global challenges of climate change, economic hardship and shrinking supplies of cheap energy and resources. Together, these small-scale responses make up something much bigger, and help show the way forward for governments, business and the rest of us.
We try to find ways of living that are based on more localised food production, more sustainable energy sources, thriving local economies and an enlivened sense of community. We will use local resources and local knowledge to achieve this. We believe this will result in a better quality of life; one that is more fulfilling, socially connected and resilient; and takes less of a toll on the planet that sustains us. Although it is a challenge to come up with city-based solutions, there is plenty of inspiration out there.
Transition groups have discovered that in the face of many reasons to despair (climate change, global inequality, and the conflicts and population displacements these cause) it can be invigorating to seek out ways to come together and build positive solutions. Moving to a different way of thinking can involve a lot of questioning and anxiety and a transition network is also a way of supporting each other to make a shift and develop personal resilience.
So what does this mean in Highbury? We meet, garden and run a Green on the Screen documentary season. We have turned our website (www.transitionhighbury.org.uk) into a resource to help people reduce their carbon footprint. But it can mean whatever local people want it to mean. If you’ve got an idea for making Highbury a friendlier and more sustainable place we want to help make it happen; get in touch via info@transitionhighbury.org.uk. or come along to one of our events.

Transition Dartmouth Park formed in September 2011, inspired by the action of our neighbouring groups in Kentish Town, Tufnell Park and Belsize.
A true neighbourhood initiative, we are working closely with other groups and spaces in our area, and have representatives on our core group from Brookfield School, Highgate Newtown Community Centre, Friends of Highgate Library and local Tenants and Residents Associations.
We officially launched at the start of December 2011 with an ‘Eco-Christmas’ fair in out local community centre. The event featured a Christmas present ‘give & take’, local and wild food, children’s decoration-making, and speakers from our own and other London Transition Initiatives.
We are currently at the stage of raising awareness of our initiative, and hope to set up projects in early 2012 which will offer visible examples of low carbon and low energy living, to meet the practical needs of our community.
