Egypt in London
UCL Museums and Collections (Debbie Challis)
With a great map of some of the highlights of Egyptian influences (and an obelisk from Heliopolis) in London.
As part of the Petrie Museum’s A Fit Mind in a Fit Body season of events for summer 2012, we are encouraging you to explore Egypt in London. We have run walks in London for some time now; visiting cemeteries, factories, cinemas, parks and mausoleums in the search for Egyptian influences on London monuments, architecture and places.
We’d love to hear about any more places that you think are a bit of ‘Egypt in London’ – visitors have suggested the Homebase on Warwick Rd for example. Tweet pictures and places to @PetrieMuseEgypt.
