Other Places Of Interest

The Whitechapel Walkabout:
The Salvation Army began in the East End of London in 1865. A hundred years ago it would have been easy to trace the steps of William Booth but many features have changed since then. With a little imagination, however, the atmosphere of the east End of 1865 can soon be recaptured.

*A guide map is available from the International Heritage Centre.

Abney Park Cemetery:
The grave of William and Catherine Booth is marked by a bold Salvation Army shield of blue Pennant sandstone with a guilt inscription reading: 'William Booth Founder and first General of The Salvation Army. Born 1829 Born Again of the Spirit 1845. Founded The Salvation Army 1865. Went to Heaven 20th August 1912'
