Overview

A leisurely stroll of about four miles in the footsteps of London's most notorious gangsters: the Kray twins.  We'll explore the back streets of Whitechapel and Bethnal Green, passing places frequented by the Krays, like the Blind Beggar and Pellicci's café, reminding ourselves of the stories and scandals behind the legend.  A joint walk with Blackheath Ramblers which should finish by about 14.00.
!!!  This walk is limited to 30 people who must book in advance with the leader.
