Walking tour: exploring the streets of the East London Group with Alan Waltham

Take a stroll with co-Curator Alan Waltham, as we walk the streets of the East London Group’s paintings, exploring the histories and stories behind the sites and buildings that still remain and those that have long disappeared.

Kicking things off at Trinity Green Almshouses, we will take a rambling route through the streets of the East End, stopping off at some of the key spaces and places featured in the East London Group’s most iconic paintings.

Alan Waltham will be our guide, elucidating some of the hidden stories and hyper-local histories that these sites held for the East London Group, bringing together the London of then and now and exploring how the city has changed across time.

Accessibility: the route is entirely on street level, except Phyllis Bray’s mural at Queen Mary University of London which is on the first-floor. Access to the Towpath (if the group does decide they want to do this) is via ramp.

Exact meeting point at Trinity Green Almshouses will be sent out to all attendees closer to the time.
