Paul Talling's Derelict London tour of Whitechapel & Bethnal Green
Join the mailing list to be informed of future ticket releases.
A walk covering many of the sites covered on the website and in the brand new edition of Paul's Derelict London book (published in July 2019) including the derelict exteriors of the Rex Cinema, parts of the Royal London Hospital, the former Shoreditch Underground Station & a dilapidated Whitechapel drinking fountain.
In addition to more random dereliction there will be some stories of the Krays, Jack the Ripper and plenty of tangents including the KLF, Suzi Quattro, Cock Sparrer, The Libertines, old railway arches, fly-tipping, rats, Minder & written off black taxis. Plus touching on the Black Ditch, one of London's Lost Rivers and the Seven Stars in Brick Lane featured in the first edition of Derelict London and tracing the social history of way over a dozen more lost pubs along the walk.
#1 walking approx 3 1/2 to 4 hours
The finishes nearby Whitechapel Station where there will be opportunity to have a drink in a local pub.

For those of you who enjoy a postwalk social, four of these walks are marked as 'specials' which are slightly extended walks where we end up at the Peacock over in Stepney who are laying on a cold buffet for us (included in the ticket price). This is the old school boozer that we previously stopped off for a drink on the Shadwell & Stepney tour (which was used in that short film starring Martin Freeman as ex-Small Faces legend Steve Marriott). After a decent feed for our stomachs and the jukebox along with a few beers (note that this is a cash only bar) we are more than likely to take a short wander to the Old Ship in Limehouse where there will be live drag act entertainment.
