Seven Wonders of London Tour

The East End World of London in a chauffeured limousine

For something very different, travel in a luxury vehicle on a 4 hour private tour to the famous East End area of London. The curious traveller will enjoy the 7 “wonders” which very few venture to see. At 9AM a chauffeured sedan or mini-van will collect you from your central London hotel. See the 7 “wonders” as per the itinerary then at 1pm, conclude your tour at Tower Bridge at the ‘Pie & Mash’ shop or back at your hotel if you prefer (this tour is flexible: it can be extended or have other options added)

Suggested Itinerary:

W1: The Ten Bells Public House (Pub). Infamous for its connection to the “Jack the Ripper” murders. Two of the Ripper victims were seen in the pub close to the times of their murders

W2: Dennis Sever’s House. An 18th century house in Spitalfields created by the artist Dennis Sever. A step back in time to early Victorian life captured in this restored house. (Entrance fees apply)

W3: About the year 200 AD a defensive wall was built around the city. For well over a millennium the shape and size of London was defined by this Roman wall. The area within the wall is now “the City”, London’s famous financial district. See part of London’s Roman Wall with a small garden in the area by the Tower of London

W4: Church of St. Mary-le-Bow. Founded in or around 1080 as the London headquarters of the archbishops of Canterbury, the medieval church of St Mary-le-Bow survived three devastating collapses before being completely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Bow bells are probably the most famous in the world and for many hundreds of years have been woven into the folklore of the City of London

W5: Brick Lane. So named because in the Middle Ages it was a centre for brick and tile manufacturing. It became a popular destination for Huguenot immigrants to set up their silky weaving businesses, and in 1724 Ben Truman opened the Black Eagle Brewery.

W6: The Geffrye Museum. One of London’s best-loved museums. It shows the changing style of the English domestic interior in a series of period rooms from 1600 to the present day.

W7: Burberry Factory Outlet Store. Originally an outlet for staff only, this is one of Fashions’ best kept secrets in East London. You can save up to a third on your favourite Burberry classics.

Finish the tour with some traditional East End Fayre at a ‘Pie and Mash’ shop.

After visiting the 7 “wonders”, you may like to try some famous East End food in authentic surroundings! The tradition of good East End ‘grub’ (food) is still alive and kicking. Indeed, there are believed to be around 80 ‘Pie and Mash’ shops still going.
