If you’re keen to get to know Aldgate better this If you’re keen to get to know Aldgate better this year, then let us give you a head start with this Greetings from Aldgate, courtesy of our Placemaking Director, Will:

“One of my favourite hidden gems in Aldgate is The Whitechapel Gallery. It’s great to escape the bustle of the streets and wander through their free exhibition spaces, or browse the fantastic selection of art books in their shop. The food in their restaurant is also great.”
