To Ronald Buckinhgam Court - the sheltered housing complex, a little green oasis in the heart of Rotherhithe, where two members of St James live - for their community fun day.
The London Bubble Theatre were involved doing a kind of responsive story telling with a group of children from the local school were there partly as an audience and partly to share some of their songs with the residents.
There were drinks and nibbles, together with visitors from the community including ourselves and Jim (left), the Pearly King of Camberwell and Bermondsey, and Michelle, the Pearly Queen of Rotherhithe.
It was good to meet a real live pearly king and queen them and to hear of their work in the community and their fundraising work for the charity, UK Homes for Heroes, among homeless ex-servicemen, many of whom are living on the streets.
