Working-class migrants do business, make families, invent objects, bring pleasures, help each other, fight and die together. Old Holborn/Clerkenwell show strong traces of the migrations of poorer folk 18-20centuries. Sat 18 July. @footprintsldn eventbrite.co.uk/e/walking-t…

I climbed the Cally Clock Tower, which once looked over two bustling Islington markets - meat, then flea - for the latest in my Sketches of London series for The Times.

Greetings from #WilliamBlake in #Lambeth.
You can still see the plaque, though not the actual house, where he lived on Hercules Road SE1, with a number of mosaic panels under the nearby railway arches showing him & his work.
Anniversary of the death of #WilliamBlake on this day 1827 has been nicely marked in Bunhill Fields. Seems there’s a commemoration planned for Saturday. @IslingtonWalks @IslingtonMuseum @GuidesLambeth
