Info sull'evento

🌐 Internet Infrastructure Walk — Celebrating International Internet Day

Join us for a fascinating guided walking tour organised in honour of International Internet Day (celebrated annually on 17 May), starting at Tower Subway Tunnel North.

🚶 What to Expect

This unique urban exploration takes participants through the streets of London to uncover the hidden physical backbone that keeps millions of people connected every day. Led by a research fellow and artist from the Internet Society, the walk reveals how the city's existing architecture — originally designed for transport and communication — has been repurposed to carry the internet into our homes and devices.

🔍 What You'll Discover

  • How to spot the invisible signs of internet connectivity scattered across the urban landscape
  • The secrets lurking beneath manholes, atop lamp posts, and inside inconspicuous buildings
  • How infrastructure built for one era now powers the digital connectivity of another

This is a perfect outing for anyone curious about technology, urban design, or simply what lies beneath the surface of the city we live in.
