Join me to explore the traces of the impact of World War Two on Bethnal Green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We commemorate the hardships faced on the Home Front, visiting the sites of three air raid shelters. As we do, we’ll consider the plans for London drawn up during the War – not to rebuild London, but to re-shape it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet me at the Stairway to Heaven Memorial at the northwest corner of Bethnal Green Gardens, just by Bethnal Green Underground station (Roman Road exit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour will take approximately two hours. It finishes near Shoreditch High Street Overground Stations, and a short bus ride from Liverpool Street and Old Street Stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
