Description

Stop for lunch / coffee and baby change at The Nunnery cafe about 1 hour into the walk. There is a park next to the cafe where little ones can let off some steam.

'Bring Your Baby' Guided London Walks are sensitively devised to suit parents and carers of even the tiniest babies to enjoy London’s history. Because every participant brings their baby, patience and baby’s needs are at the forefront of each walk.

You are welcome to bring friends and family who do not also have a baby.

Introduction:
- Bow was the headquarters of the East London Federation of the Suffragettes (ELFS), led by Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst and sister of Christobel Pankhurst, also both prominent suffragette leaders. The ELFS was an offshoot of the ‘Women’s Social and Political Union’, but Sylvia's work in Bow - which you shall visit - campaigned for much more than just the vote.
- Sylvia opened a nursery, infant welfare centre, cost-price restaurant and a co-operative toy factory - all to try and improve the conditions of the women of the East End - and you'll see their locations on this walk.
- Sylvia also published a newspaper, 'The Woman’s Dreadnought', and spoke out at venues across the East End, often ending in violence. We shall visit not only the locations of the newspaper production and sales, but also the scenes where Sylvia battled the authorities, held meetings rallying the women of the East End to join her, threw bricks into windows while trying to have her say, and the police station where she was put in cells after window-smashing and rallies.
- Between 1913 and 1914 Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested 8 times. On each occasion she went on hunger and thirst strike, so would be forcibly fed, a brutal practice that left her physically shattered.

Customer refunds must be requested at least 24 hours before an event starts. We cannot guarantee you can move your ticket to another date but you are welcome to enquire at [email protected]

Walk ends at The Lord Morpeth Road, Old Ford Road, close to Victoria Park where you could relax or have a play afterwards!
