About This Tour
A private tour for your group only — the real, genuine history of London's Jewish East End community. This is a private tour for your group only. The real, genuine history of London's Jewish East End community is traced, including historic sites tied to generations of Jewish immigrant life.
From 1881, tens of thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms across Eastern Europe began arriving in London's East End — over 100,000 by some counts — settling alongside an already-established Jewish community and the area's cheap lodgings.
By 1888, many had settled around Aldgate and Petticoat Lane; by 1900, more than 95% of the population of Wentworth Street, home to the famous Petticoat Lane market, were Jewish immigrants. By 1914, an estimated 90% of all Jews in England lived across the crowded streets of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, and St George's in the East.
For several decades, Yiddish was the language heard on these streets, which supported their own theatres, restaurants, and places of worship — a genuinely self-contained community rather than a scattered minority.
The community had already begun shrinking before the Second World War, and heavy bombing during the war meant many evacuated families never returned, or had nothing left to come back to. Even so, a visible Jewish presence remained in the area into the 1980s.
