Very interesting. Good spot Chris. Wasn’t someone suggesting marching on the museum to confront them and their colonial past a few months ago ? I guess once the shops opened again, they lost interest.

Fredericks son Emslie was a councillor in Chelsea and gifted Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance, an arts and crafts designed open space, to the local area.

Traditionally it is the starting point for Notting Hill Carnival.
