A co-curated exhibition at Senate House Library now open!
This exhibition will take Booth’s maps as a starting point to explore the historical roots of issues around housing and poverty that we still face today. It will explore wartime and postwar redevelopment, the building of estates and changing housing policy, as well as eviction and squatting. Photography and imagery will capture London’s thriving street life, the workhouse and the reality of poverty in the Victorian period.
