About this experience

Very few guides in London concentrate on Women's history, in fact you are more likely to get women excluded completely from London tours so I have set about changing that in a big way. Although we do not ignore those glaringly obvious sites on route that everyone knows and has heard of they are not the focus. We learn about women who broke the mould, who fearlessly swam against the tide and whose bravery made life better for the generations who followed.

What's included

Included

  • This is a two to three hour guided tour on the history of women in Whitechapel

Not included

  • Tea and coffee

What you'll see and do

  1. Whitechapel Road

    Through the bustling high street of Whitechapel with its grade II listed houses and its mosques and Churches. We will hear about the brave women who were part of the WWI resistance, the kindness of female Philanthropists of the late 1800s. Then I take you into the heart of the anarchistic movement of the 1890s.

    60 minutes here

  2. Brick Lane

    The area Monica Ali highlighted in her book of the same name. It's seen swathes of immigrants from Huguenot weevers to Jewish Tailors and then finally Bangladeshi restauranteurs. Stacked to the brim with history dating back to the early 1700s but this tour remember is about the women who were quiet revolutionaries in this area

    20 minutes here

  3. An area which has featured in many famous films and still has a feel of times gone by with the pretty houses bunched with wooden shutters just as the Huguenots used to have. Extraordinarily there were several females who lived alone in the 1700s here!

    10 minutes here

  4. Spitalfields Market E1

    The delight of this market opened by Queen Victoria. The surrounding streets steeped in the history of Sylvia Pankhurst/Mary Wollstonecraft/Sara Wesker -screaming out the revolutionaries of the last three hundred years.

    30 minutes here

  5. We dip into this area which is rich with history. From a house lived in by the widow of an East India employee to the story of a lowly prostitute who made a name for herself. It's the arnachistic headquarters and has played host to 'Call the Midwife

    10 minutes here

Whitechapel Herstory Tour

Went on the Herstory City Walk in Whitechapel and loved it! Learned a lot about the area’s rich history, especially women’s stories often left untold. Mandy is a lovely, knowledgeable guide who also pointed out lots of hidden gems to explore afterwards. Highly recommend, thank you Mandy 😊

Response from the operator: Many thanks. What a lovely review. Really appreciate the time you took to write it!

Great tours with Mandy

What a great way to find out about the history and herstory of London! Exercise your feet and your brain on a tour with Mandy, who brings the past to life as you visit places that you've never thought of going to. Tread in the footsteps of the famous and infamous; Mandy can tell you all about them and their deeds, good and bad. We had a really enjoyable time.

Fun, informative and interesting.

I booked a private tour for myself and relatives visiting from overseas. We weren’t disappointed. Mandy is both entertaining and informative. I thought I knew London, but we visited places we would never have found for ourselves. My highlight….. Brick Lane. It’s niche shops, cafes and Graffiti. Thanks Mandy, looking forward to joining you for another tour in the future.

Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

How much does Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour take?

+

Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

Is Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Women of Whitechapel 2 hour Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in London?

+

London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit London?

+

May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in London?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
