Virtual Tour of Whitechapel in London's East End

Imagine Winston Churchill turning up in a top hat with a pistol to fight Russians. Then the historic riots against the Fascists. The sad story of the ‘elephant’ man, the nurse heroine Edith Clavell, the most famous gangsters in London, the Krays, Stalin and Trotsky and an executioner of a king. It’s all happened around this high street that reflects huge events and changes in the last few centuries.

We walk it using Google earth, old paintings, photos and some good old stories.

REVIEWS:

“I was very pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, knowledge, delivery and attention to detail displayed. It was exceptionally well presented and most informative and was one of the most professionally delivered on line lectures that I have attended …and I look forward to attending future tours by Loona.” Martin Nicholls

“A first class tour guide, an excellent group facilitator and a charming person. He is inspiring, enthusiastic and with endless historical knowledge – which makes me hungry for more. We covered past history (oh so colourful…talking about the inspiration and resilience of people) and right up to the present day….Loona had a story for everything.I won’t spoil it for you by sharing too much ..just to say it really gave me an insight and food for thought.” Sue Goldstein

“From my experience Loona’s tours are head and shoulders above other tours. I will definitely be going on more tours with him and am going to enquire about a tailor made tour with him too.” Julie Bennett, tour guide
