About this Event
Join us for the second part of our East India Company Walk, as we uncover the company's tumultuous past in Westminster. Uncover the company's transformation from merchants to a powerful territorial aggressor, even trading in narcotics.
Explore the issue of corruption that plagued the company and learn about influential figures such as Robert Clive and Warren Hastings.
Discover the lasting impacts of the East India Company on both Eastern and Western cultures, and how its actions shaped the course of history. Don't miss out on this intriguing tour that will open your eyes to a lesser-known yet significant aspect of British imperialism.
