Londoner #117 | The amateur astronomer with dreams of travelling into space: Margaret Bloomer
Margaret is an amateur astronomer/buddhist living in Soho. From a young age she has been passionate about astronomy. She recalls looking up at the stars every night with her dad. Margaret worked as a cartographer for the RAF, where she drew maps. She now volunteers for The Natural History Museum in their gardens, as well as the ‘galaxy zoo’ where she identifies new galaxies and star formations.
Margaret has lived in Soho for 30 years, but is becoming increasingly concerned with its recent gentrification, describing what’s taking place to be ‘corporate vandalism’.
