Talks and Events

Stoke Newington History Talks

Stoke Newington History Talks is a popular event I host every four months, featuring two guest speakers exploring the area’s rich history. Since its launch in November 2016, it has grown significantly, with tickets often selling out within a day and over 1,600 subscribers on the mailing list.

Projects and Initiatives

Making Stoke Newington’s history more accessible and engaging has been a key focus of my work. To bring the area’s rich heritage to life, I’ve undertaken several projects and initiatives that allow residents and visitors to connect with the past in meaningful ways.

Stoke Newington History Drop-In Sessions

The Drop-In sessions I ran on three occasions to date with the late Nick Perry, Richard Young, and Rachel Tobyn offered a unique opportunity for the community to engage with local history. People came with a wide variety of questions, either having learned about the event in advance through social media or by spotting us while walking by. Held in a the shop Revere the Residence in Stoke Newington Church Street, we used historical maps, photos, and records to answer their queries.
