Sunday Strolls: The Banglatown Walk

The Banglatown Walk is aimed at anybody interested in Bengali migration and settlement in the East End of London.

The participants will learn about the Bengali community’s history, heritage, cultural practices, and the lives of people who are of diverse backgrounds and experience different values and customs.

The experiences of Bengalis in the East End will provide a concrete example of the value of multiculturalism and the tensions it creates. The walk will look at the legacy of the British Empire and how the population of Britain has become rich & diverse through the twentieth century as migration occurred from the colonies.
