Life in the East End Flickr group

The Museum of Childhood website celebrates the East End of London as one of the most culturally diverse areas in Britain, a result of a long history of migration and movement. The East End Lives section of the site records the memories and life stories of people from the communities that have settled in the East End.

We would like you to share your photographs of daily life in the East End of London by posting your photos of celebrations, communities, events, family life, objects, people, places and rituals that you see or take part in.

In East End Lives, we’ve defined the East End as the London Boroughs of Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets so it would be helpful if you could add a tag to your photograph that says where it was taken - either hackney or newham or towerhamlets.


How Flickr works...

A gift in your will

You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
