Midway through your tour, you’ll be given free time to have some coffee and a snack if you wish (own expense). After your short break, continue your walking tour of East End’s eclectic streets, passing fashionable galleries, boutiques, bars and the occasional secret speakeasy.

Pass the homes of artists such as Tracey Emin and Gilbert & George in the Brick Lane area, along with one of the final drinking holes of the victims of Jack The Ripper, before finishing at the fashionable Spitalfields Market in time for lunch. This market is home to a selection of great pubs, cafés and restaurants, including one of London's best fish & chips shops where you can indulge in a quintessential English meal (own expense).
