Norton Folgate

Its name is a reminder of the tiny ancient Liberty of Norton Folgate situated in and around the area.

The nearest London Overground station is Shoreditch High Street.

It lends its name to a character played by Samuel Barnett in the ongoing Big Finish Productions Torchwood audio drama series.

In July 2015, more than 500 people protested against the demolition of the old buildings in historic Norton Folgate neighbourhood to make way for new developments.

People travelled from across the country to ask for the restoration of the old structures rather than offering them to the international property investment market.
