A peace concert called on youngsters to reject gangs and violence.
The concert, now in its eight year, was organised by charity STORM and took place in the Wandsworth Town Hall Civic Suite, West Hill, Wandsworth.
Hundreds of youngsters attended the event on Thursday August 8 which featured MCs, DJs and comedians.
Acts KOF, A Dot Infa Red and Lady Leshur entertained the crowds, while the Afro Caribbean Leukaemia Trust explained the importance of donating bone marrow.
Battersea MP Jane Ellison gave advice to youngsters, as well as a representative from Trident.
There were also a number of stalls set up to help young people find employment and volunteering opportunities.
A short film, directed by Idris Elba, was one of the highlights of the event which stars members of the STORM Off the Street youth club.
STORM, which stands for Support, Trust, Opportunity, Rebuilding and Motivation, was created after founder Marie Hanson's own son was stabbed.
