Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Incontra la tua guida - Vas Blackwood (famoso per aver interpretato Rory Breaker in Lock Stock e Two Smoking Barrels nonché Only Fools and Horses in cui ha interpretato il ladro Lennox 'Shadow' Gilbey) - a Whitechapel, il cuore grintoso dell'East End di Londra. Quindi parti per il tuo tour a piedi di 2 ore nell'area, visitando i luoghi dei film e dei programmi TV, nonché i luoghi della vita reale associati al mondo sotterraneo criminale di Londra. Notoriamente il terreno calpestante dei gemelli Kray (Ronnie e Reggie) che terrorizzarono l'East End negli anni '50 e '60, l'area è ricca di siti collegati ad essi. Fai una visita al Repton Boys 'Club, dove i gemelli hanno imparato a inscatolare, e vedi il pub Blind Beggar, dove Ronnie ha ucciso un acerrimo rivale - uno degli atti spietati che lo hanno spinto da semplice gangster a un'icona di celebrità dell'East End (anche se un temuto uno).
Avendo massaggiato le spalle con molti ex gangster di Londra per prepararsi al suo ruolo in Lock, Stock e Two Smoking Barrels, Vas Blackwood ha innumerevoli storie da raccontare e sentirai il meglio mentre cammini da un sito all'altro. Scopri di più su "The Guv’nor", Lenny McLean, un gangster diventato un bravo ragazzo che ha iniziato il suo curriculum criminale come combattente a mani nude prima di iniziare a recitare in famosi programmi televisivi britannici, come Eastenders e The Bill. Ascolterai anche storie di Barbara Windsor - un'attrice londinese molto amata che ha sposato uno dei temuti associati di Krays Ronnie Knight - oltre a scoprire le azioni malvagie di Brown Bread Fred, un tipo soprannominato dopo il gergo ronzio di Cockney in quale "pane integrale" significa "morto" in riferimento agli omicidi commessi. Guarda il pub usato come Samoan Jo a Lock, Stock e Two Smoking Barrels, così come l'ufficio di Hatchet Harry, dove "Lupo porno" Harry Lonsdale ha lavorato nel film.

really enjoyed the gangsters tour! Vas was great! very informative and good fun! would def recommend..
Met at the Blind Beggar pub, notorious for its history, Vas was an excellent guide, full of knowledge, humour and bad language 😂. Involved the audience throughout. Your lasted around 3 hours, well worth it. If you're easily offended by colourful language, this is not for you
Uncle Vaz is an absolutely brilliant guide! This was my very first walking tour, and I found it while Googling things to do in London. Although I’m not really into gangsters, I had enjoyed Lock Stock and Only Fools and Horses years ago, so I thought it would be a fun afternoon out. The tour starts at the Blind Beggar pub, a wonderfully relaxed and atmospheric spot that feels like stepping through a portal off Whitechapel Road into a land that time forgot. From there, Uncle Vaz takes over and does a fantastic job. Even though our group was quite large, it never felt crowded — it stayed intimate and engaging throughout. I would highly recommend this tour. Uncle Vaz is not only very entertaining, but by the end of the afternoon I genuinely felt like I knew the Krays. Brilliant experience
Absolutely brilliant tour from start to finish. Vas certainly makes that tour amazing 🤩. Totally recommended.
A very interesting tour with Vas, picked a hot day but , still enjoying the 2h 15 mins of information and jokes from the funny guy.
Lots of naughty words but all adds to the experience. Lots of gangsta chat and Vas was absolutely brilliant telling the story of the Krays. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Vas is so funny and kept us amused throughout. Definitely recommend
The Gangster tour is a great experience and if you don’t mind a bit of banter and swearing then I would thoroughly recommend It is a great place to visit with a lively community and Vas has a wealth of knowledge regarding the Krays, their uprise and fall Vas brings humour and fun into the tour and is a great host, most interesting and a great pleasure to meet him
It was all ok. 50 minute talk standing outside in the heat at the stand of Blind Beggar was a little much. Could have done this from inside. Interaction with the group was a little intense at times, shouting in faces and pointing in faces etc and actually detracted from the story being told. It was all ok. Just feel I would have got just as much from googling locations and walking around the sites by myself.
Had a really fun afternoon, Vas is a really nice bloke and very knowledgeable on the Krays, the history and the local area plus brings his own style and wit as he presents the facts. The tour was slightly bigger than expected (45ish people) but that didn't make any difference and Vas made sure everyone could hear and he also interacted with everyone in the group at different points in the tour. Overall a great experience which lasted around 2.5 hours and we will be recommending to friends to do it
A great experience from start to finish (even though the weather wasn’t great!). Not too far to walk, the frequent stops were all accompanied by a variety of stories. Our guide, Vas Blackwood, certainly knows his stuff and delivers a wealth of information in a highly entertaining style. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and is definitely one I’d recommend… Keep up the good work!
