4.3(3)LondresCancelamento gratuitoNovo

Sobre esta atividade

Delve into the hidden local histories of Canary Wharf and West India Quay on this insightful walking tour led by Stefan. Stroll through London’s modern financial district while uncovering the stories still embedded in its streets, including the historic warehouses tied to global trade (including sugar and tobacco), the former lodgings of dockworkers and dockmasters, and the walled remains of a devastating fire that helped shape the Docklands. Alongside these untold histories, Stefan draws from personal experience to offer thoughtful insight into homelessness and housing insecurity today, creating space for conversation and reflection. This tour is delivered by a not-for-profit social enterprise that supports people with lived experience of homelessness to train and work as professional guides. Your ticket helps guides earn an income and supports social change through storytelling and dialogue.
