Tour
Audience
This event is for Everyone

Come and explore this historic site within Whitechapel, where many migrant groups have made their home since the early 16th century, leaving the area, and the building, full of voices and traces from the past.

See behind the scenes and hear about the building’s history, conservation and transformation from Allford Hall Monaghan Morris project architects, Tower Hamlets Council team and community heritage practitioner Rav Singh.

The architects’ designs for the historic Royal London Hospital and a new extension building have created a new town hall, including a council chamber, residents’ services hub along with work and meeting spaces. An exhibition shows architectural models, sketches and archive material Illustrating how this new transformation builds on the past

Many traces of communities passing through Whitechapel have been lost. At the end of your visit you can contribute your voice to this historic site and neighbourhood by adding your story to our exhibition.
