Louis Sherman (23 May 1914 – 16 November 2001) was a British politician, who achieved greatest prominence as chair of the London Boroughs Association.
In the 1930s, he joined the Young Communist League, inspired by its opposition to fascism, but he left the group at the end of the decade.
[1] Sherman's health slowly improved, and he was able to return to taxi driving.
[1][2] Much of Sherman's time was focused on Hackney, and he championed the development of the Lea Valley Park, which opened in 1966.
He supported the Theatre Workshop, persuading boroughs in the area to jointly award it grants when it was in danger of closing.
