Sandra Shevey, Writer, Curator and Filmmaker

Sandra Shevey`s film about saving London traditional, local street markets was screened at this year`s Clerkenwell Design Festival 2016.  Sandra started her company of walks around local markets in the Eighties when the old London markets were first beginning to face extinction.  Sandra is a  bona fide markets crusader.  She writes about traditional local markets.  She makes films about them and she runs daily tours.

Having begun her company London Street Markets Walk in 1990 Sandra (age 73) has kept it up and now profiles 15 local markets across 33 London boroughs.  3 markets, 3 hrs are profiled daily.

Sandra`s film c2007 was short listed by London Metropolitan Archives at the time it was produced.
