Food, Migration, Memory @ The London Archives

After 13 months’ preparation, The London Archives presents its new exhibition, The Taste of Memory. The exhibition highlights the transformative influence of regional food on today’s British culinary landscape, beginning with London’s first Chinatown (which emerged around Limehouse). From there, visitors will take on an emotional journey to uncover the often-underrepresented voices of British-Chinese community since 1880s. Whether walking in or sitting in a dining room, visitors will navigate 19 chefs’ transgenerational memories of living, struggling, coping and integrating into British society.

Funded by The British Academy and sponsored by Lee Kum Kee, the exhibition is free but booking is required. Registration is open:

“Taste of Memory” Exhibition, 14 October-14 November 2024, Monday-Thursday, 10:00-16:30.
