The New Hillbillies
A group of residents who call themselves "The New Hillbillies" have joined together to help preserve and restore the area known as New Hill. It was bought by the City of London in 2001. The New Hill Billies are working with the City of London's keepers to keep the area in good condition. It's not all hard work though, and they do have an annual outing and barbecues.
Call if you would like to join them, or just want more information.
