Excellent walking tour about Women’s History in London and the injustices they suffered as well as succeeded.
We have recently decided to learn more about London - a city we live in and thought Women working in London would be interesting and it was Fantastic. Emily met us on time and there were only four participants. More like a private tour. Emily was fun, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and explained comprehensively. She was also able to listen and expand and answered all of our questions, of which there were many. It was quite long in duration, but was worth it and gave us a good excuse to stop in Spitalfields Market afterwards. Some of the history I knew roughly but to have it expanded and make it pertinent to the lives we live today was great. I would recommend Emily and the tour 100% and will look to see what other tours we can do.

Untold Stories, Unforgettable Women
A truly fascinating and highly recommended tour that brings to life the untold, often-forgotten stories of the remarkable working-class women who helped shape the East End of London. We visited the places where these women fought to improve working conditions and build a safer, more equal world. Our guide Becky was knowledgeable and engaging, bringing these extraordinary women's stories to life in a way that was both easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable.

Working Women of the East End Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Working Women of the East End Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at £15 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 Working Women of the East End Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Working Women of the East End Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 93 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 Working Women of the East End 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 Working Women of the East End Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Working Women of the East End Walking Tour?
+
Around 33 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Working Women of the East End 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.
What is included in Working Women of the East End Walking Tour?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes; Tour Guide; and Professional Guide. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Working Women of the East End Walking Tour?
+
We will meet our guests outside Tower Hill Underground station, exit via the ticket hall, meet your guide next to the Tram Refreshments EC3N 4DJ Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

Is Working Women of the East End Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
