The Petticoat Lane Heritage Trail celebrates the rich and vibrant history of a specific area in London’s East End, Petticoat Lane.

The Petticoat Lane Heritage Trail initiative was a community heritage project that worked with local people to research, record and share hidden stories of Petticoat Lane. The project was delivered in two phases, Phase One in 2021-22 and Phase Two in 2024-25.
Around the area, you will find ten plaques, each commemorating an important aspect of the history of this unique part of London. Can you find them all?
The Petticoat Lane Heritage Trail was jointly-funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
