Our year-long project Strange Doings in London – The Ballads and Songs of St Giles – which took place from 2024-2025 and was supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund – has come to an end, with series of performances, walks and exhibitions at the 2025 Festival.
Strange Doings in London set out to explore 1,000 years of history in the central London areas of St Giles and Bloomsbury through ballads, songs, artworks and exhibitions, leaving a legacy in the community of new research, music and artwork reflecting the history of the area.
