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 as we know it today.
Join the Migration Museum team for a walking tour to discover the incredible stories of the generations of migrants that have lived, worked and left their mark on the streets of the City of London. The tour will start at the back of the Royal Exchange, between Threadneedle Street and Cornhill, and lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
This is a walking tour of the city, there is limited opportunity to sit down, it is therefore only accessible to anyone who can make their way around the city at a gentle pace. The route is all level-access so it is suitable for people using wheelchairs or bringing pushchairs. While we are covering a lot of material, we won't be covering a huge distance in total we will walk 1.5 miles.
