SUMMARY:LONDON BENGAL WALK: City of London & the British Empire by BritBangla
DESCRIPTION:LONDON BENGAL WALK: City of London & the British Empire by BritBangla\nMeeting Point: A guided group walk starting at the Royal Exchange and ending at Brick Lane.\nBook tickets HERE ( https://Bengalwalk_sahm26.eventbrite.co.uk )\n \nLong: Uncover the City’s hidden architecture of empire — from East India Company power to the Bengal trade that fuelled Britain’s wealth. Follow alleys, warehouses, and trading sites linked to muslin, indigo, tea, coffee, silks, and cotton, and meet the ayahs, lascars, and migrants who shaped these streets. We end in Brick Lane, tracing the Bengali community’s journey from struggle to Banglatown.\n \nBritBangla is a forum for advancing the empowerment and leadership of the dynamic Bengali community. It provides a platform to reflect the views and aspirations of British Bengalis growing up within a dual culture. BritBangla is the only existing professional network for British Bengalis in the UK. British Bengalis who are proud of their culture, heritage, and success.\n \nAbout the Walk Lead: Taryn Khanam BEM\nTaryn Khanam BEM is a heritage researcher, community leader, and Chair of BritBangla, recognised for her work exploring the intertwined histories of London and Bengal. As a researcher on the East India Company Monuments Trail at St Paul’s Cathedral, she has spent years uncovering the stories of empire, trade, and migration embedded in the City’s streets. Her guided walks bring together rigorous historical insight, community memory, and a commitment to making hidden histories visible. Taryn’s work centres British Bengali heritage, amplifying the voices of ayahs, lascars, merchants, activists, and early settlers whose presence shaped London long before modern migration.\n
