Join me aboard a vintage Routemaster for a tour around the capital, following in the footsteps of some of the major players in the suffrage movement.

The tour ends at the Museum of London Docklands having travelled through Whitechapel and Bow, where the legacy of philanthropists and social workers survives to this day.
