Spitalfields’ History brought to life

5.00I highly recommend this tour. My daughter and I truly walked in the footsteps of our 1820s ancestor Caroline Fitzallen. Over 2,000 years of Spitalfield’s history was brought to life. The people, the stories, the poetry, the songs and the architecture was described very ably by our guide the talented Gentle Author. To top it off we had tea and cake in a cafe situated in a restored 18th century house. Thank you Dan. It was a pleasure to meet you.

5.00This was one of the most interesting/informative guided tours I have ever participated in. The researched stories and biographies of former residents of the neighborhood and the historical backgrounds were presented in a very engaging manner. It was very entertaining and concluded perfectly with tea and a very delicious small pastry in muffin form. Heartfelt thanks to the Gentle Author for the wonderful tour!

5.00A delightful, interesting and often moving afternoon. We loved exploring the side roads around the market, and hearing the stories of the generations who have walked the same streets and lived in some of the beautiful buildings. Tea and cake was rather nice too!

5.00A very interesting tour, by a very knowledgeable guide. He told us stories and pointed out details that made the history of the buildings (& past residents) come alive. He was very passionate about the history of Spitalfields and held our attention throughout…a remarkable man. It was a pleasure to do this tour. I would like to do his city of London tour next. I highly recommend this tour.
