Ever wondered what makes a house Georgian? Or why Soho is so gay?

As part of Historic Englands Keep it London campaign, were keeping the history of Londons neighbourhoods alive with a series of walks. Stroll along some of Londons best stories and have them brought to life with photos, archive images and sometimes the odd video. Well also help you identify architectural periods and understand what makes them different.

Download the app to find out about Brixton’s Windrush Generation, the Battle of Cable Street, 130 years of Queer Soho, Post-War architecture in The City, the rise of the railways in Camden and more!
