Product Description
East London is my favourite part of the city and it’s where everyone flocks to. My backyard is where the art, tech, nightlife and innovation is. If it’s new and exciting, it’s coming out of here. Unsurprisingly, it’s also a diverse area whose rich social history as a melting pot close to the docks has given birth to an arty and techy scene that pulls the curious and the cool from all over the world.
International street artists show their spray art skills on the walls as street food vendors rub shoulders with tech entrepreneurs and fashion models. But what is Silicon Roundabout? How did refugees change the history and the language? How is the megacity changing and what’s next in the global city?
From the financial district to the back streets, it’s an area rich in contrasts and quirkiness.
Walk with me as I show street level East London and you’ll appreciate why it’s such a draw for so many people. Trace the links from the medieval world of Shakespeare to the skyscrapers of FinTech today.
This walk is for anyone who’s curious about the cooler side of London, but it’s also ideal for the universities and schools I work with, bringing the city’s past, present and future alive for you.
