Hoogtepunten

Most people know of this are because of its infamous connection with Jack The Ripper but there is 2,000 years of history here with an incredibly rich history and vibrant culture so join us for this very special tour that will reveal the fantastic heritage of Spitalfields without ever mentioning you-know-who. We will visit Plague Pits and scenes of terrible crimes and events but also of sites of pioneering hospitals, alms houses, soup kitchens and asylums. These days Spitalfields is also incredibly trendy with a unique mix found nowhere else on Earth and we don't even mean the great food and markets. Everywhere in Spitalfields, culture and vibrancy goes hand in hand with history, poverty and misery and we will see the old subterranean Charnel House within a few seconds walk of the wonderful Spitalfields Market. There is no where like Spitalfields and we’re convinced that if you are looking for something totally different then this is the tour for you.
