This special walk delves into an amazing depth of African/Caribbean history between Soho Square and Russell Square: It features:

What an amazing tour! It completely moved me to rethink the intricate web of social, economic and political relations that characterize British imperial rule and racial politics. Engaging, moving, will keep you asking more questions. The best way to get to know London.Alai Reyes-Santos, Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of Oregon
