Another great tour from Women of London (this was our second). Getting away from history that revolves around politicians, royals, religious and business types was a refreshing change. Also basing the tour in the East End gives it a much more diverse focus, reflecting that part of London. Becky again provided an informative commentary with poignant observations. We highly recommend the Women of London tours.

We were glad to find Women of London tours to fill in the gaps left by most tours that primarily focus on men. Our guide, Becky, has a passion for women's history and told us well-researched and detailed stories that brought several fascinating women to life as we walked through the East End. Highly recommend.

Learning about the women of East London with Emily as our guide is one of the best things I've done in London in the last two years! We gained a fascinating insight into the lives of many women who played crucial and sadly often overlooked roles in women's emancipation, social and political reform and in numerous other ways, all put into the context of the ever-changing and ever multi-faceted social fabric of this wonderful city. Emily was extremely indulgent of and responsive to all our many questions and ponderings. I highly recommend this tour and would like to thank Emily for putting her heart and soul into bringing the stories of these women to life in the streets of East London.
This was a hit!
