The district of St Giles is not widely recognised today, but it has a dense and tangled history that tells us a great deal about the experience of living in London across the span of time from the twelfth century to today. This history has rarely been glamorous, but it is packed with the stories of lives touched by many of the most momentous events in British history.

Research conducted by Rebecca Preston and Andrew Saint has shed new light on the history of this fascinating area and the lives of those who lived in the place that has become the heart of London. Join Rebecca for an informal talk about their research.

Heritage event supported by Chestertons.
