People and Power on the City’s Doorstep
Saturday 10th October 2026
Hoxton Station, E2 8FF
A free walk by Hackney Guiding Association as part of Local London Guiding Day.
How does Hoxton’s past inform its present and future? Compare almshouses and council housing, parks, libraries, music halls, a power station and Hoxton market. Consider how the powerful provided for the poor, and where their wealth came from! Hear about plague pits, workhouses and non conformism. Discover what is meant by ‘More light, More Power!’
