Join a guided tour of Oxford House, a listed Victorian building in East London with a history full of surprises. Founded in 1884, it was one of the world's first settlement houses, where students came to live and work in the East End.
Along the way you will hear untold stories, look at pieces from the Victorian-era archive, and visit the oak-panelled 'secret chapel' built for the early settlers. The tour also covers the social history of the East End, the building's role in both World Wars, and the visit of Gandhi in the 1930s. You can end on the rooftop with 360-degree views across East London, and share your own memories as part of the tour.
