A walk tracing Victorian women's forgotten contributions to the creation of the great buildings in South Kensington's cultural district
About this Event

Join Iya London for a thought-provoking walking tour exploring the hidden contributions of Victorian women to the architecture and design of South Kensington.

Discover how they helped shape this renowned arts and science district—and why their stories remain largely untold.

You'll also explore the differing representations of men and women in the area’s public spaces. This walk will change the way you see South Kensington!


What You’ll See

We'll focus on the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Royal School of Mines, the Memorial to the 1851 Great Exhibition, the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Joanna is a fountain of knowledge and such a pleasure to learn from. Our walk through Kensington was perfectly paced and a wonderful way to be encouraged to look more closely at the buildings we pass by and through. I'm excited to attend more of her walks in the near future and would highly recommend to anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of London and the city's past."
