Know the spot? It’s no exaggeration to say that E Know the spot?

It’s no exaggeration to say that East London would look very different without @toynbeehall. For over 140 years, this site has been a catalyst for radical and progressive change, where figures like Clement Attlee, William Beveridge, Amelia Earhart and even royalty have found inspiration for their work.

To this day, it’s a community hub and social work powerhouse, supporting tens of thousands of people every year. So whether you’re seeking support for yourself or want to get involved with a cause, you’ll definitely want to check out Toynbee Hall.

📍 28 Commercial Street
