Empire at War – Constitution Hill
Memorials, Sacrifice and the Cost of Conflict. Guided walking tour through some of central London’s most symbolically charged public spaces.
Sunday 14th June
11:00 - 13:00
Would you fight for a country you do not belong to?
In the 20th Century, countries from around the world answered Britain’s call to arms. Some answered because of their historic and political alliance. Some because they belonged to the British Empire.
How does London remember their sacrifice? Join me on a walk through Hyde Park and Constitution Hill to discover monuments, memorials and the human cost of imperial conflict.
This walk is part of a three-part series that explores how imperial power shaped London. By sharing these stories, we will map the global majority back into the city.
