Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Conheça seu guia - Vas Blackwood (famoso por interpretar Rory Breaker em Lock Stock e Two Smoking Barrels, bem como Only Fools and Horses, no qual interpretou o ladrão Lennox 'Shadow' Gilbey) - em Whitechapel, o coração arenoso do East End de Londres. Em seguida, parta em seu passeio a pé de 2 horas pela área, visitando locais de filmes e programas de TV, bem como lugares da vida real associados ao submundo do crime de Londres. Famosamente o reduto dos gêmeos Kray (Ronnie e Reggie) que aterrorizaram o East End durante os anos 1950 e 1960, a área é rica em sites ligados a eles. Faça uma visita ao Repton Boys' Club, onde os gêmeos aprenderam a boxear, e veja o pub Blind Beggar, onde Ronnie matou um arquirrival - um dos atos implacáveis que o transformaram de mero gângster em um ícone de celebridade do East End (embora um temido).
Tendo convivido com muitos ex-gangsters de Londres para se preparar para seu papel em Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Vas Blackwood tem inúmeras histórias para contar, e você ouvirá o melhor enquanto caminha de um local para outro. Saiba mais sobre 'The Guv'nor', Lenny McLean, um gângster que se tornou um mocinho que começou seu currículo criminal como um lutador sem luvas antes de atuar em programas populares de TV do Reino Unido, como Eastenders e The Bill. Você também ouvirá histórias de Barbara Windsor - uma atriz muito amada de Londres que se casou com um dos temidos associados dos Krays, Ronnie Knight -, além de descobrir os atos covardes de Brown Bread Fred, um sujeito apelidado de gíria de rima cockney em que 'pão integral' significa 'morto' em referência aos assassinatos que ele cometeu. Veja o pub usado como Samoan Jo's em Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, bem como o escritório de Hatchet Harry, onde o 'Porn King' Harry Lonsdale trabalhou no filme.

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!
