Walking Tour- Call the Midwife - Poverty and Poplar in the 20th Century Docks

This popular TV series is based on the real-life experiences of a midwife in Poplar in the post-war period and has captured the imagination of millions of viewers. We will see the Convent where Jennifer Worth and others lived and worked, the church whose Christmas Eve service was packed to the rafters and the streets where women gave birth in conditions unthinkable today. We'll visit what remains of East India Dock and see many of the improvements to conditions that would be enjoyed by the dockworkers and their families.

Children under 10 go free to this event.
