Politics of Hackney Shoreditch and Spitalfields walking tour
Walk East London’s original old streets and hear its cultural and political history from a local. You’ll explore Hackney, Haggerston, Shoreditch and Spitalfields districts as if you lived there. We take in artisan shops to bustling markets and understand the gentrification that has taken place in the last twenty years, from squatters and gypsies to million-pound town houses. We visit a working city farm, a pie and eel shop, the peaceful Boundary Estate, and experience Brick Lane’s street art, food, and history. You can grab a beigel from the last Jewish beigel bakerry. We trace centuries of migration - Huguenots, Jews and Bangladeshis - and learn how these communities fought the fascists on the streets. This tour combines history, culture, politics and local life in a relaxed, engaging walk that goes beyond typical sightseeing.
