Transport yourself back in time to the East End of years gone by with this comprehensive walking tour given by real, born-and-bred East Enders and local teachers/historians. From the mediæval foundations of this area slumped on the edge of the City of London, to the desperate slums of the Victorian era. From the fearsome terror wreaked over the people by Jack the Ripper, the Blitz and then the Kray twins, to the migrations of numerous communities over time. This tour gives you a snapshot of life in this area throughout history - but most importantly it does it through local stories, given by local people. Not only will you see the streets and their historic remnants, you will also hear about just what life was like for those living, well trying to survive, in them.
