Where better to discover the richness of Britain’s migration histories, than the City of London - where hundreds of stories, over thousands of years demonstrate that migration is woven into the fabric of our society?
From Jewish Synagogues to Roman walls, hidden monuments to the Royal exchange, this tour shines a light on how migration shaped the financial heart of Britain across the centuries. Our expert tour guides will offer a unique and memorable experience, exploring and uncovering the stories you know, and others you don't.

Things to note:
There are a few public bathrooms along the way, but if you need to stop in between them, you can let your guide or volunteer in your group know and we can find a cafe or somewhere to stop.
We welcome you to contribute and share your thoughts, experiences and personal stories as we go.
Everyone has a migration story and all tour participants will be invited to fill in a Migration Story Disc - these can be kept or shared with the Migration Museum, and become part of our collection.
