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.
 

Croydon Transition Town (CTT) is a forum and a campaigning organisation. A forum where you can come to float your project idea and gain support, and a campaigning organisation seeking to improve the environment and lives of people in Croydon.
We are not affiliated to any political party but we will engage with politicians and council officials to work for for a better borough.
Initiatives currently revolve around local food, energy and transport. We are also interested in achieving a better built environment and protecting the valuable heritage of Croydon to make it a more attractive place to live.
There should be more to Croydon than being just an attractive shopping destination.

We are an established group of Crystal Palace locals, looking for like-minded people to join us on our path towards a more sustainable community resilient to the challenges of climate change and community challenges.

We also have a busy facebook group here 

Projects involve the local community generally and primary schools.

Transition Crouch End came about in September 2008, when a group of us made a geographical connection at a talk by Rob Hopkins in London, and decided to meet again. Our urban initiative had no clearly defined area, but we felt we wanted to appeal to people who had an ’emotional attachment to Crouch End’. At the same time we didn’t want to exclude the residents of Hornsey and so we decided on the name, CHATI which stood for the Crouch end and Hornsey Area Transition Initiative.
As CHATI, we organised successful film nights around the theme of oil (screening the powerful trio, The Power of Community, Farm for the Future and The End of Suburbia) and ran free events for the community. Since then we have changed our name to the more transparent, Transition Crouch End, and have developed a robust dialogue with Haringey Council, based on receiving a Making the Difference Award and giving a presentation to the Local Area Assembly. We work very closely with other green initiatives, taking part in monthly film nights, attending meetings of the Sustainable Haringey Network. and having links with several community gardens in the area.
Our main focus at present is growing spaces, and we are seeding initiatives in partnership with Hornsey Vale Community Centre, Stroud Green Library and Thornton’s Budgens in Crouch End. Food (its provenance, production and potential scarcity) is a powerful vehicle(!) for presenting the message of ‘peak oil’. It is one which engages the public, and empowers them to adapt their lifestyle, both in terms of their living space and the choices they make as a consumer. An illustration of this is our annual Apple Day each October which draws in hundreds of people, with widespread coverage online and in the local press. Jointly organised with the Urban Harvest, the event is an opportunity to taste freshly pressed juice and to sample different varieties of English apples. In addition to apple activities, we host talks on the origins of the apple, sometimes a cookery demonstration using produce from the Hornsey Vale Community Centre Kitchen Garden and many other delicious, natural, local things. The Tyre Garden at HVCC Our future emphasis will be to build on this interest by encouraging people to share skills, not just in gardening, but in other creative areas, such as baking, woodwork and craft. There are many sustainable projects happening in the area, a proliferation which can be confusing to people outside the loop. Our role as a transition initiative, a recognisable ‘brand’ with a national and global presence, is crucial here. The transition model provides a coherent and compelling ideology which gives meaning to these activities and emphasies their importance in creating a strong, resilient community.
