The Banglatown walk and talk is for anybody interested in Bengali migration and settlement in the East End of London. It is an opportunity to learn about the Bengali community’s history and heritage. Find out about the lives of people with diverse backgrounds, values and customs. The experiences of Bengalis in the East End highlight both the value of multiculturalism and the tensions it creates. The walk/talk will look at the legacy of the British Empire. Migration from the colonies continued throughout the twentieth century. A poet will be joining this year’s walk to add a new dimension to this engaging, interactive slice of local history.
Meeting point: Shahid Minar (Martyrs Monument), Altab Ali Park, Adler Street/ Whitechapel High Street.
