History is better when you can experience it for yourself.
Throughout the year, the Ealing Historical Association organises guided visits to historic buildings, museums, and places of historical interest in London and beyond. Our visits are relaxed, friendly, and informal, with small groups and plenty of opportunity to explore, ask questions, and enjoy history together.
Keep an eye out here for our next tour!

We’re looking forward to adding some new destinations to the list.
Right now, we’re thinking about:
- London Livery Halls: A guided visit to one of London’s historic livery halls, such as Drapers’ Hall, offering a chance to explore the history of London’s ancient guilds and their continuing role in the City. Drapers’ Hall currently offers group tours by appointment, lasting approximately 1¾ hours. There is no formal charge, although visitors are asked to make a donation to the Drapers’ Charitable Fund.
- Jewish London: A visit exploring the history of London’s Jewish community, potentially centred on Bevis Marks Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in continuous use in the United Kingdom.
- London’s Slavery Connections: A walking tour exploring some of the places and buildings connected with London’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies, followed by a visit to the Museum of London Docklands and its London, Sugar & Slavery gallery.
- Bristol – Slavery, Trade and the City: A possible day visit to Bristol exploring the city’s connections with the transatlantic slave trade and the ways in which that history has shaped the city.
If one of these particularly interests you, let us know — expressions of interest will help us decide which visits to develop. Alternatively, if you know of a historic building, museum, exhibition, or place that would make an interesting EHA visit, we’d love to hear your suggestions.
