Future Lambeth Includes Me
Be Part of Lambeth's Legacy
Imagine someone opening a time capsule 20 years from now.
They press play on your video.
They hear your voice. They see your face. They learn about your life, your hopes, your community, and your vision for the future.
Future Lambeth Includes Me is creating a unique community time capsule by collecting short video messages from the people who make Lambeth what it is today. Together, we’re preserving the stories, personalities, dreams and experiences of our borough for future generations.
Whether you’ve lived here all your life or Lambeth has become your home, your story deserves to be part of our shared history.
What Should I Talk About?
We want to hear about:
- Who you are
- What life in Lambeth is like today
- What matters most to you
- Your hopes and ambitions
- Where you see yourself in 20 years
- What you hope Lambeth will become
- A message for the people who will watch your video in the future
There are no right or wrong answers. We simply want your authentic story.
Your Voice Matters
This project is open to anyone aged 24+.
Adults, older residents, families, businesses, community groups, artists, teachers, health workers, volunteers, faith organisations and local leaders all have a place in this archive.
Every contribution helps tell the story of Lambeth.
How to Take Part
Creating your video is easy.
We’ve put together a simple Filming Guide that explains:
- How to record your video
- Suggested questions to answer
- Tips for getting the best picture and sound
- How to submit your recording

Leave Your Mark on History
In twenty years’ time, today’s children will be adults.
Our neighbourhoods will have changed.
Technology will be different.
Life will have moved on.
But your story will still be here.
This is your opportunity to leave a message for future generations and become part of Lambeth’s living history.
Future Lambeth Includes Me.
Because the future should know who we were, what we believed, and the community we built together.
