Guided Tour of the Marx Memorial Library

Tour highlights include banners, posters and ceramics tracing the history of the labour movement from the 19th century to the present day, from the campaigns of William Morris and Eleanor Marx to the miners' strike and Wapping dispute of the 1980s.

Visit the room where Lenin worked while in exile in London in 1902-03 and see the original banners that the British Battalion of the International Brigades brought home from Spain in 1938.

All these, and much more, are housed in Marx House, a listed 18th century building with medieval cellars (also part of the tour) in the historic Clerkenwell district of London.
