Follow in the footsteps of Jewish immigrants through the ages with your own exclusive tour guide in a private London taxi tour that will give you an insight into the struggles new arrivals were faced with as they tried to integrate into British life. The primary focus of this experience is the arrival and integration of Jewish people and their influence on British culture, food and society. This unique bespoke London taxi tour has been devised by David the 'Capital Cabbie' and begins with the backdrop of the 15th Century Guildhall and the magnificent Wren designed church of St Lawrence Jewry; we discover that we are in the midst of the first London Jewish ghetto. From here, the Jewish East End Tour plots the route of Jewish people’s arrival in Britain from medieval times through to the vibrant multicultural street scene of Brick Lane. Along the way, you will find out about the persecution and expulsion of Jewish people under King Edward I and the later readmission under Oliver Cromwell. We will follow the path of the Eastern European Jews escaping from the pogroms of the 1800’s and their integration into British society and culture. We also encounter the horrors of the 20th Century holocaust and the stories of ingenuity and sacrifice behind the Kindertransport memorial. We celebrate the Battle of Cable Street of 1936 when the local community stood shoulder to shoulder with Jewish people to prevent the fascist movement from marching through the Jewish East End. We will visit some of the nooks, crannies and alleyways of London’s Jewish Quarter, discovering some of Britain’s oldest synagogues, Bevis Marks and Sandys Row. We stroll down Petticoat Lane, site of a vibrant street market and the centre of the garment industry and sweatshops of the 19th Century. On this heritage sight-seeing London cab tour, we will visit Spitalfields and Brick Lane which was the hub of the Jewish Quarter of the 20th Century and has also played a vital role in welcoming other immigrants to our shores, namely the Huguenots, Irish and Bangladeshis. Of late, Brick Lane has become the centre of London’s street art scene, featuring work work by Banksy, Stik and Roa, as well as hosting some of London’s finest curry houses, beigles and beer.

Wonderful tour made fabulous by David. We could not possibly have had a better tour guide. We obtained an insightful understanding of the Jewish history in London as a result of David’s research and personal experiences during his life in London. Highly recommended.
Excellent Unique Tour

David was a great guide and a very friendly and professional driver. We got everything we expected in this tour and a couple of bonus sites (Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter). Some of the scheduled places were quite moving and others wete very enlightening.

I know the tour is going to be good when the tour guide arrives early. David came early and greeted us with a smile. What a delight to see London and the East End from the back of a London Taxi with a real life Jewish Taxi Driver. He was professional, friendly, informative and accommodating. It was just my wife and he made a couple of adjustments to accommodate our time needs and where we needed to be after the tour. London has a long Jewish history and we experienced part of it with David from the back of his taxi. Be forewarned though that some of what you will experience is being in the neighborhood of what was there. The real Jewish presence has moved away from the East End. For those of you that have traveled to the Lower East Side in NYC - very reminiscent of traveling on Orchard Street. David does other tours and when we come back we will definitely avail ourselves of his other tours.
Outstanding tour - a must see!
