Today I took the kids to Brixton Windmill to visit one of my Art on the Underground trainees who volunteers there. Who would believe there is a windmill in Brixton? It sits in Windmill Gardens next to a lovely playground, a 15 minute walk from the high street. Volunteer millers make wholemeal flour there at weekends and sell it locally. We got to go up to the first floor to see the mill working and to find out about it's heritage - it's the last working mill in inner London, built in 1816. The Windmill runs open days monthly, with bookable tours, along with special events throughout the year.
