Lisa Halse interviewed by Sara Sherwood

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording.
Spurred into peace activism as a teenager after seeing images of the Vietnam War, Lisa would travel to Greenham Common from Devon. In this interview, she discusses the ongoing legacy of Greenham Common and her work with 'Carry Greenham Home' which built alliances and educated local communities.

Liz Beech interviewed by Leslie Lyle

This folder includes the recorded audio of the interview along with a transcript of the recording and a photograph of Liz.
'I went to Greenham because I was given an electric kettle for my 40th birthday by my mother!' Liz took a bus to 'Embrace the base' in 1982 with a Glastonbury women's group and consequently lived at Yellow Gate from 1983 to 1987. She thought this was with her husband's support, saying the men's role was to keep 'the home fires burning'. However, she lost custody of her two children, with Greenham being cited as the reason, almost definitely as part of a political strategy to scare other mothers at the camp. Liz says that she was much less afraid of life than before she went.

25 November 2018, Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park The study retreat at Cumberland Lodge is my most cherished memory from my time at LSE. Never before did I have the chance to ponder, debate, and appreciate International Relations so intimately with such outstanding, bright minds from around the globe. It was an experience that connected me deeply with my discipline and that created friendships lasting until today. And meeting HM The Queen, who in her lifetime has witnessed and shaped global events as only a few people in history, was a brilliant conclusion to a weekend I will never forget.

Lunchtime at Red Lion Square

Submitted by: Avanes Khachaturov
Date: 17 March 2021
Location: Red Lion Square, London

With physical lectures being cancelled and all classes moving online by December 2020, I found that I had much more time to explore lunch options around campus. Before, my typical day involved rushing from one lecture hall or classroom to another, with studying in the Library in between, and hence I was limited by how far from campus I could venture out.

Most of the fast causal restaurants dotting Kingsway that specialized in providing food were closed the previous year, with primarily coffee chains remaining open for take away, offering only small sandwiches and toasties as lunch options. On the other hand, Lamb's Conduit Passage and Red Lion Street, which runs parallel to Red Lion Square, offered many small and cheap eateries of various cuisines, from Korean to Malaysian to British classics, which I only found the time to try out now that all of my studies were online and not tied to campus.

The picture taken was during one such lunch time, a relatively warm day for the weather that month, with the benches lining the park offering excellent places to sit back, enjoy a warm meal, and either listen to music or a podcast, or to just take in the sounds around you.
