Stroll with us through the East End area adjacent to the City of London, where magnificent Georgian houses line the side streets of an historic (now trendy and multi-cultural) neighbourhood. Hear about the immigrant communities over the centuries who found refuge and work nearby, including French Protestant silk weavers, Russian Jewish tailors and Bangladeshi Muslim restauranteurs. Our walk will start in Aldgate at the site of the 2000-year old Roman Wall that defined the original settlement of Londinium, take us past London's oldest functioning synagogue opened in 1701, through famous and historic streets such as Petticoat Lane and Brick Lane, and end at Spitalfields - a former Victorian covered market that is now famous for food, fashion, and art.
