R V Jones Science Lecture with Professor Robert Winston

In the 1970s Lord Winston developed gynaecological surgical techniques that improved fertility treatments. He later pioneered new treatments to improve in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and developed pre-implantation diagnosis. This allowed embryos to be screened for genetic diseases and has allowed parents carrying faulty genes to have children free of illnesses such as cystic fibrosis.

AMP Studios is a railway arch mews off the Old Kent Road, not far from Queens Road Peckham station and New Cross Gate. On the day there’ll be an exciting selection of up to 25 great vintage traders outdoors in the pavilion and yard, and inside the arches. You’ll find lots of vintage designer clothing, homeware, lighting, furniture, decor, ceramics, prints, brocante, salvage, and lots more. The bar will be open, and outside in the yard there’ll be great coffee and chocolate brownies. FREE ENTRY. Step-free entrances with level access throughout. Dogs welcome.
