The Stories of Aldgate exhibition showcases and celebrates the rich history, diverse community, and vibrant culture of Aldgate.
Running from June to August across Aldgate’s Vine Street, EC3, this free public exhibition invites visitors to explore the people, places, and history that have shaped Aldgate into the iconic corner of London that it is today.
The Stories of Aldgate Exhibition brings to life the voices of local residents, workers, students, businesses, and historic figures through a curated collection of photographs, personal stories, artworks, and interactive displays.
It highlights Aldgate’s evolution from a historic gateway in the City of London to a thriving modern neighbourhood, known for its multicultural spirit and creative energy.
The exhibition will run from June 1 to August 31 2025 and is free and open to all.
Visitors are encouraged to explore the exhibition at their own pace and scan the QR codes under each storyteller to hear their stories. Guided walking tours, in partnership with the Migration Museum, will also be available throughout summer.
