What a fun, lively, informative afternoon! Great energy from Vas with so much knowledge and insight into the Krays life and history. Felt like you’re walking around with mates. Vas bought the story to life, what a character, brilliant day.

Came out with my sister as I had done this tour last month and raved about it. Had a fantastic time. Vas is so down to earth and a great host. Thank you so much.

Absolutely amazing tour. Vas was brilliant and so involved in the tour. Had so much information to pass onto us and had a great sense of humour. Didn’t rush anything and actually ran over by nearly an hour!!! I am booking the same tour again with the wife now!!!!

This walking tour through East London (Whitechapel and the Krays’ stomping grounds) offers a mix of history, drama, film trivia and local color, all delivered by Vas Blackwood – known for his role in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. If you’re into gangster lore, authentic crime history, film connections, or just want a lively guide, this is one people highly recommend! Vas is charismatic, funny, down-to-earth and he brings the stories alive. His experience in acting helps; he adds theatricality without losing substance.

Absolutely brilliant tour. Vas was so knowledgeable and really was a great story teller. The tour lasted way longer than expected and you could tell Vas was really passionate about what he did. We’d definitely recommend this tour and would like to do it again! We shall be buying more of these tours with Vas for our friends. Thanks Vas. Just one word of warning, Vas does the whole gangster thing really well….ie he says it as it is…if you are not keen on swearing or are easily offended then this tour is not for you ! We loved it.
