About This Event

'Murder, Medicine & Missionaries – The Hidden East End' Guided Walk will occur on 14 November 2026 at 14:15, starting outside Aldgate East Tube Station. Led by Blue Badge Guides, the walk will explore significant historical figures and sites in Whitechapel, focusing on their contributions to medicine and social reform.

Come along on Saturday 14th November for a Blue Badge Guided Walk on London's hidden east end! Blue Badge Guides know London better than anyone. They have trained intensively for two years and passed the highest Tourist Guiding qualification in the UK. **About the walk** On this walk discover Whitechapel based reformers and radicals who have left a lasting legacy in medicine and social work. Characters we’ll meet along the way include social reformer Dr Barnardo, surgeon Frederic Treves, nurse Edith Cavell and the “Elephant Man” Joseph Merrick. Sites we will view include a former brewery, a hospital turned town hall, a former bell foundry, places of worship, the “monster dosshouse” where author George Orwell stayed and the site of a six hour siege. We’ll finish at a pub associated with a high profile murder.
