Parents from Christ Church, Church of England, Primary School have worked with Magic Me artists, and volunteers from international law firm Allen & Overy, to explore their local area around Brick Lane, E1.

They discovered and photographed useful and interesting venues, creating a beautiful book of six Photowalks, for other families to try.
