In this talk London Blue Badge Tour Guide Diane Burstein introduces you to the history of a little known corner of London which was once the city’s Italian quarter. Italian organ grinders and ice cream sellers contributed to the area’s street life while skilled mosaic and figurine makers helped to decorate beautiful St Peter’s church.

Although the Italian community has dispersed traces of their presence still exist and you’ll hear of the annual Italian Festival which still takes place each July. In addition to Italian connections we will hear about other historic places in this area including a road which was once part of Cambridgeshire, a courtyard with bloody connections, London’s diamond district and the streets which were settings for Dicken’s “Oliver Twist”.
