SUMMARY:Zoom | Feeding the City: London’s Iconic Food and Drink Factories
DESCRIPTION:London was the largest city in the world during the 19th century\, with an appetite to match. As the city’s population exploded\, food and drink needed to be produced on an unprecedented industrial scale. In response\, sprawling factories sprang up across the capital\, churning out everything from biscuits to gin. Some of these London historic food sites remain active today\, while others have been repurposed\, leaving behind only traces of their industrial legacy. Through this fascinating virtual tour\, Rob Smith will take us back to London’s flavorful past as he explores the food factories that helped feed the population of the metropolis. We will explore the story of the Lyle’s Golden Syrup factory in Silvertown—founded in the 1880s and operating today—producing its famous syrup in the world’s oldest branded packaging. We will learn about McVities in Harlesden\, home to beloved British biscuits like the Digestive and Jaffa Cakes\, and we will explore what became of Gordon’s Gin distillery\, once a powerhouse in Clerkenwell. We will also virtually visit the former Sarsons’ vinegar works in Bermondsey\, whose towering vats now house creative studios. Rob will reveal what life was like for the factory workers\, the production innovations that shaped their industries\, and the legacy left by these factories that shaped London’s culinary and urban history. \nTickets: $30 members*; $40 non-members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account
