Ramble through two thousand years of culture in the heart of London and encounter some of the people and places that make this ancient neighbourhood distinctive.
Discover Spitalfields’ rich and diverse history of resourcefulness driven by successive waves of migration from across the world - Huguenots, Jews, Irish and Bengalis among many others - telling the story of how modern Britain was created.
