Unearth London’s history on every street

Aldgate is a historic and culturally diverse area of East London.

In Roman times, this Aeria was the gateway to the city, hence the name “Old Gate”. You can still see part of the old city wall here. Aldgate is however, far from being stuck in the past. Today, its right in the middle of things. It’s a diverse mix of ancient artefacts, 16th-century pubs, and modern galleries - perfect for those looking to get a complete picture of London’s authentic past.
