Explore Secret Stories RGS The Lost East End Tour, a self-guided interactive walking tour to enjoy whenever you want. A walk along the Thames in East London. This tour forms part of the Discovering Britain series created by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) to delve deeper into Britain\'s landscapes. The East End starts where the City of London ends, east of the Tower. A short walk from this tourist hub leads to places that are much less visited. Some of the names are famous: Cable Street, where locals held back the fascist blackshirts; or Limehouse, where Britain’s first Chinese population gained mythical status. Some are less known, such as Wellclose Square, a Scandinavian square with an occult reputation, and Ratcliff, where ships set sale to explore the New World. These parts of London were once notorious, reputed to be wild and lawless. Now they hold clues to their past, which can be decoded by retracing their borders beside the Thames. This London walk was written and photographed by Tom Bolton, the author of Vanished City and London\'s Lost Rivers: A Walker\'s Guide  Total length: 3.49 miles; Suggested age range: 7+ Purchase this Tour (and more) in the Secret Stories App, available for free download from Android Play and Apple App store.
