One of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th century is to be commemorated this summer with a heritage plaque in North London. Cranleigh Street in Camden will be the site of the capital's latest blue plaque, where George Padmore lived at no.22 from 1941 to 1957 with his partner and collaborator, Dorothy Pizer. The address was a big part of the political landscape of pre- and post-war London, becoming focal point for anti-colonial activists from around the world.
