Stories of Aldgate

An audio-visual exhibition capturing stories that make Aldgate such an iconic corner of London.

About the Exhibition

Aldgate Connect BID is proud to present Stories of Aldgate, an exhibition which captures the voices and lived experiences of those who live, work, study, and make Aldgate such an iconic corner of London.

Through powerful spoken storytelling, this audio-visual exhibition explores themes of migration, community, and transformation – told in the storytellers’ own words. The project celebrates the rich history and vibrant community of Aldgate.

Aldgate is more than a place – it’s where lives unfold, connections are made, and histories are shaped. Whoever you are, whatever you’re doing, wherever you’re going, there’s space and a place for you here.

Aldgate, welcome everyone.

This project is supported by the City of London Corporation’s Community Infrastructure Levy Neighbourhood Fund, find out more here.
