    Really interesting guided walk, made all the better by the very entertaining and informative guide. We learnt a lot about the diverse population of Stratford Road that shaped the community of the area, both in the past and today. The tour included a visit to a Hindu temple and the people worshipping there were so welcoming to the group. A really enjoyable couple of hours. Thank you!
