BETHNAL GREEN.......Guided walking tour with Barrie

BETHNAL GREEN.......Guided walking tour with Barrie

Another of member Barrie's superb tours of our great city.
This time it's the east end and an area overshadowed by its more
illustrious neighbours Shoreditch and Whitechapel. but Bethnal Green
has its own surprises...join us and see

BETHNAL GREEN......from slumland to hipster heartland
==================================================================
A famous flower market, the Kray twins and the greatest cafe in London

Sandwiched between the two of London's most trendy areas, Brick Lane and Shoreditch, it is easy to forget how much history there is around Bethnal Green. Naturally, most people are familiar with Bethnal Green as it features in all stories of the notorious Kray twins and our tour certainly includes the terrible duo in more than one story. But I doubt many people know that Bethnal Green was the home of the original social housing funded by the philanthropists of the day.

But that's not all, there's a great museum, a great sports hall and a great cafe all worthy of being considered as hidden gems in London. Throw in the world-famous flower market and the story of a terrible disaster you have a very interesting afternoon to come

This is a long walk and lasts around two hours fifteen minutes and will be illustrated by historic photographs and great stories from those days.

The cost is £10 cash payable to Barrie on the day but rsvp early as these tours often get sold out quickly.
