What you can expect
Step into the 1960s underworld and uncover the chilling true story of Ronnie and Reggie Kray. On this immersive tour, you’ll bypass the usual tourist routes to walk the very pavements where the “Firm” built their empire. Discover how two brothers from Bethnal Green became the most feared men in Britain, balancing lives as brutal gangsters and high-society celebrities.
Stand on the exact spot where history was made. At the legendary Blind Beggar pub, you’ll hear the “hidden stories” of the night Ronnie Kray executed George Cornell in cold blood. We’ll peel back the curtain on the East End code of silence, visiting “Fort Vallance”—the twins' fortified family home where they hosted everyone from local hitmen to American movie stars for tea.
Go behind the scenes of their rise to power. Visit the iconic Repton Boxing Club, where the twins honed the violence they used to rule the streets. You’ll explore the “Safe Zones” and fortress-pubs like The Carpenter’s Arms, discovering the secret meeting points where the brothers brokered deals that reached from the back alleys of Whitechapel to the halls of Parliament.
This isn't just a history lesson; it's a dive into London’s dark folklore. Led by expert storytellers, you’ll hear the “unspoken” details the newspapers were too scared to print. If you want to understand the raw, unfiltered truth behind the Kray legend and the “Swinging Sixties” underworld, this is the only tour that takes you deep inside the brothers' criminal empire, famously known as 'The Firm'.
