A project we started back in 2013… about a month before xmas, we had this idea… a calendar, remembering radical, subversive and rebellious anniversaries for every day of the year… all from London’s turbulent past.

Part of the point being to illustrate how every day is a moment of struggle, of change… But also that the ‘great moments’., the revolutions and famous faces, are only a part of a continuous process, going back hundreds of years, that links us, fighting to change our own lives, with movements, uprisings, ideas of the past.
Also – it was fun to create!

Took a bit of work, admittedly. Specially finding the last seven or eight dates. But it went down very well, so much so that we decided to make it an (nearly) annual fixture. A whole new set of dates each year obviously… And limited to things that went down in London, or at least within the M25 (I mean it’d be too easy otherwise).

The Calendar comes out in print most years: work, other business & exhaustion permitting.

have a look at our last few years’ calendars:

2014 Calendar

2015 Calendar

2016 Calendar

2017 Calendar

2018 Calendar

Due to circumstances beyond our control… 2019 did not take place…

2020 Calendar

2021 Calendar 

We didn’t get round to a 2022 edition…

2023 Calendar 

NB: The links to most of the Calendars here currently go to our old website, hosted on a DIY server which big search engines & browsers often label as risky. It’s safe.
The pages and the links from each date are a work in progress, we are adding to them but not all links will work – yet…

We’re always looking for some dates, all contributions welcome; drop us a line with your suggestions.

Without a doubt the Calendar owes great dollops of inspiration to other folk that went before us:
The Calendar Riots, Wor Diary, Daily Bleed, Nerve’s Love, Hope, and Resistance Calendar and many more…
