Sunday Street Markets & Greenwich
A great day out in London - Try something a Brit Different!
Get Your Tours ‘ere!! Off the beaten path in the Capitol.
Our tour begins in an area not often visited by tourists as we explore the Whitechapel area. This has long been the home of the 'rag trade'. It's an area displaying the influences of five centuries of immigration, from the Flemish Huguenots, through the Eastern European Jews to today's Bangladeshi community. Here we'll find the early morning flower market, the thieves market of Brick Lane and the famed 'Petticoat Lane'. Then, on through London of the 21st century where modern docklands architecture marks a completely different and unexpected London. Finally, to Greenwich, known to all as the place where the east and west are divided at the meridian line. In this elegant Georgian town you'll see the tall masts of the Cutty Sark, the Queen's House, Christopher Wren's magnificent Royal Naval Hospital, the Millennium Dome and a selection of interesting flea and craft markets.
This tour is not run as a scheduled departure; the tour will be just yourselves with your own driver/guide.
We would pick you up from your Central London hotel at 8.30 and return you there at approximately 6PM. Entrances to major attractions included in the price. Lunch is at your own expense (but we will find a great place for you to eat!)
