Meet Avena
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.
From a wide-eyed 16-year old stepping into Petticoat Lane for the first time to a business owner rooted in its streets, Avena’s journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and community. In a place where adaptation is survival, she has thrived for over 30 years—proving that change isn’t something to fear, but to embrace.
