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.

5.00I had such an enjoyable afternoon in the company of Vas Blackwood. Vas was engaging, charismatic and entertaining; providing us with many laughs as he conducted his tour. Not only is Vas a delightful person, he has a clear and in depth knowledge of the London gangster scene. I highly recommend booking this particular tour for a unique opportunity to share an intriguing scene with a celebrity guide who is also a true gentleman.

3.00Unfortunately, we did not enjoy this tour . Did not get off to a great start as we were told to meet in the wrong place and so missed the beginning of the tour in the Blind Beggar pub . The person who took the tour was a great orator , but we found the amount of swearing unnecessary, and we are by no means prudes, but it did get a bit embarrassing at times. Therefore , we could not carry on with the tour.
Fantastic tour

5.00Fantastic time. Very informative. Very funny. We learnt a lot. Great tour guide. Vas had done his homework. He made it a great afternoon.
Good Tour for Kray's rather than Gangster.

4.00We overall enjoyed the tour, but it was too long and was not a circular tour, it was very Kray based so if like us you were hoping to hear about other gangsters post and prior to the Kray's it does not cover if not linked to the Krays. Also some parts we went to the link was very tenuis, these need to be reviewed as quite a few people were not interested in those including us. Vas was very entertaining, but the chat about filming and taking pictures could have been a quick 2 mins not a 10 minute lecture and it also made us think before taking pictures as if he was busy you could not interrupt him to keep getting permission.
