If you were to go back in time a few hundred years and walk along the streets of London, you would have seen multicultural residential neighbourhoods and a bustling commercial centre, filled with warehouses, shops and factories producing and storing a wide range of products.
Over the centuries, you would have encountered people speaking different languages, practising a range of religions and building the foundations of British culture.
Join the Migration Museum team for our East End walking tour and journey with us through the streets of Whitechapel and the East End to discover the lives of people who shaped the area. From civil rights activists to silk weavers, and the nameless migrant women behind the Rag Fair, we will walk the steps of countless generations of people who came here to forge a life for themselves, and in doing so, shaped the East End that we know and love today.
The tour will start and finish at Whitechapel Gallery and will last approximately 1 hour.
This event is part of Backyard Biennial.
The Migration Museum explores how the movement of people to and from the UK across the ages has shaped who we are – as individuals, as communities, and as nations. In 2028, we will be opening our museum in the City of London, sharing the stories and histories of migration in a new permanent space.
