Restoring, conserving and celebrating our amazing heritage
Heritage has been an area that has been given more resource to ensure that we are celebrating and preserving the amazing collection of artefacts, paintings and archives that we have. Last year we recruited a professional archivist who has undertaken a full audit of our artefacts, archives and paintings and we are now able to make some informed choices about how we make the most of what we have and how best to use the collection to engage all members of the College Community with our unique history and heritage.

Book your place »London, meet at Surrey Quays on DLR at 11am.
Join Lou Cohen, a City of Westminster London walking tour guide to find out more about The Grand Surrey Canal.
The Grand Surrey Canal was an ambitious project to link the Thames to Croydon and Epsom and the south coast. It joined the Thames at Greenland Dock, a much older ship dock than St Katharine’s and just along the river was the site of the Royal Navy Victualling Yard. Step back in time with Lou Cohen to explore this old part of London to see the place where Raleigh laid his cloak for Queen Elizabeth I and how the area played its part in World War II.
Tickets cost £18 per person and includes the fully guided tour.
