East End
Meet your guide – Vas Blackwood (famous for playing Rory Breaker in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels as well as Only Fools and Horses in which he played the robber Lennox 'Shadow' Gilbey) - in Whitechapel, the gritty heart of London’s East End. Then set off on your 2-hour walking tour of the area, visiting film and TV program locations as well as real-life places associated with London’s criminal underworld. Famously the stomping ground of the Kray twins (Ronnie and Reggie) who terrorized the East End during the 1950s and 60s, the area is rich with sites linked to them. Pay a visit to Repton Boys’ Club, where the twins learned to box, and see the Blind Beggar pub, where Ronnie killed an arch rival – one of the ruthless acts that propelled him from mere gangster into an East End celebrity icon (albeit a feared one).
The Blind Beggar Public House Whitechapel
Having rubbed shoulders with many of London’s ex-gangsters to prepare for his role in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Vas Blackwood has countless tales to tell, and you’ll hear the best as you walk from site to site. Learn about ‘The Guv’nor,’ Lenny McLean, a gangster-turned-good guy who started his criminal resume as a bareknuckle fighter before going on to act in popular UK TV programs, like Eastenders and The Bill. You'll also hear tales of Barbara Windsor – a much-loved London actress who married one of the Krays' feared associates Ronnie Knight -- as well as discovering the dastardly doings of Brown Bread Fred, a chap nicknamed after the cockney rhyming slang in which ‘brown bread’ means 'dead' in reference to the murders he committed. See the pub used as Samoan Jo’s in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, as well as Hatchet Harry’s office, where ‘Porn King’ Harry Lonsdale worked in the film.

5.00Vas is great !! He takes time to get to know his crowd and interacts with them for banter, as he gives them a taste of the gangsters world. He is funny, entertaining and informative. Vas makes it a great tour and well worth doing.

Walking Gangster Tour of Whitechapel

5.00Vas was excellent. I’ve lived in London for 25 years but South and West London so a visit to Whitechapel was long over due. Really interesting part of the city and with the gangster overlay provided by the very knowledgeable and well researched Vas made for a great afternoon out. It was meant to be a 2 hr tour but it was more like 2.5 hrs so great value for money. If you are easily offended by strong language this tour isn’t for you !!
Great experience and value for money

5.00OMG! If you do nothing else this year you MUST go on this tour. Jam packed with interesting and little known facts about the Krays all brought to life by Vas Blackwood. His knowledge and enthusiasm on this subject is unsurpassed. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

4.00Really enjoyed the tour, the only down side was the unnecessary language throughout the tour. Not for children I would add.
