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 for London Festival of Architecture, to discover the incredible stories of the generations of migrants that have lived, worked and left their mark on the streets of Aldgate and the City of London. The tour will start at the site of the museum’s future permanent home and last approximately 2 hours.

Please note: This is a walking tour of the City, there will be limited opportunities to sit down, and 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.

There are opportunities to use public toilets en route. If you would like to know more details to help you assess the accessibility of this event, please email liberty@migrationmuseum.org
