Location Map of City of Stories
 
A new multi-sensory exhibition in the Story Den at this fantastic storytelling centre in Stratford East, City of Stories celebrates East London's characters and history through the real life stories of its residents. They're a well-travelled bunch, bringing tales from Albania, Bangladesh, Somalia, Poland and London. With music and installations by artist Cathy Wren, the multi-sensory part really lifts the words from the page to appeal to kids - something Discover does consistently well.
