AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE SPITALFIELDS SOCIETY
Founded in 1994, the Spitalfields Society has, over the years, campaigned on behalf of the residents for a variety of issues which have affected our community. We have also endeavoured to make our community a more pleasant place to live by supporting initiatives and investments in Spitalfields.
