Whitechapel Guided Walk

Posted by Shahed Saleem on April 18, 2017

Date and Time: 6 p.m., Saturday 17th June, 2017

In collaboration with the Institute of Historical Research, we are running a guided walk around Whitechapel focussing on places of worship, immigration and personal memories drawn from our oral histories.

Walk through layers of social history, visiting the sites of former German sugar refineries, an 18th-century German Lutheran Church and 20th-century German Catholic church, the park where St Mary Matfelon (the 'white chapel') once stood, the East London Mosque, former workhouses, the Royal London Hospital and the variety of buildings across its estate, amongst other diverse and fascinating places.

This event is part of the London Festival of Architecture 2017.

Date: Saturday 17th June

Time: 6.00-8.00pm

Meet in Altab Ali Park
