Our Stories Magazine

Our Stories
Tales of travelling and working in the capital from the London Irish Centre.

Whether it's exploring by bus or helping to build the Tube, everyone has a story to tell about their experiences of transport in London. In a series of workshops members of the London Irish Centre Elderly Day Centre in Camden have worked with London Transport Museum to create a magazine to share their memories.

Taking objects, artwork and images from London Transport Museum collections as their inspiration, each individual has created a page to tell their own story. The result is a colourful mix of narratives revealing the hidden significance of Museum objects to different people. Stories of family, friendship, success and struggle emerge, highlighting individual experiences but also those that communities share.
