Organised by London Transport Museum
London is a true global city, a destination for visitors from around the world, and the whole world is reflected in the city’s population. London’s transport network lies at the city’s heart, keeping its people moving and making London the iconic and recognizable city it is.
When the first passengers on the SS Empire Windrush set foot in London in 1948, many started their residence in temporary accommodation in Clapham South Underground station, and many were recruited directly into London Transport. Ever since then, Caribbean migrants and subsequent generations have influenced and shaped London’s transport history.
Join us for this virtual panel discussion to celebrate this history. Learn how TfL and the Museum are archiving, documenting and interpreting the varied experiences and memories of Caribbean transport staff and their communities, and looking to the future. What is TfL doing to maintain and improve a positive, safe and welcoming environment and example for the global city of the future?
