Fabulous Feminists! - Over 2.5 hours we immersed ourselves as Walking Women in the lives and stories of the Working Women of the East End. So many amazing stories of community organizers, magistrates, trade unionists avant la lettre etc. who trailblazed the way for general voting rights, bodily autonomy, labour rights. Learned so much from our guide Becky, who amplified the voices and gave them agency and dignity.

Great tour guide, great history - I bought this a birthday present for my partner and we had a brilliant time. Becky was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour was perfectly judged in terms of walking distances and points of interest. We had, perhaps shamefully, little prior knowledge of the history Becky spoke about, which made it really worth while.

Wonderful tour! - I did the Working Women of East London tour with Emily a few days ago. We learned so much about these incredible women and got to see parts of London that I would have never found on my own. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon, and Emily was a fantastic guide. I wish I had time to do the other tours!

Women in labour history - Highly recommend. Excellent guide, well researched itinerary. Tour positions women's contributions to the labour movement in wider context with reference to key local figures. Tour includes a toilet break.

a really fascinating exploration of the lives, professions and politics of women of the East End - Emily was a really passionate and knowledgeable tour guide, and she went out of her way to make sure we got a lot out of the tour. It was a really fascinating exploration of the lives, professions and politics of women of the East End, and Emily did a great job of setting these in their context while also drawing links to present-day London. Highly recommended!

Incredible tour! - This was truly one of the best walking tours I’ve been on. Becky made the womens stories come to life as we explored the neighborhood. Theres a great pit stop in the middle for restrooms and coffee or tea, and our guide was SO knowledgeable about the community and it’s incredible history. Highly recommend for all people- not just women!
