Walking tour of Spitalfields
Sunday, 3 August, 2025 • 9 Av 5785
3:00 PM - 5:00 PMSpitalfieldsWe are delighted to offer a chance for members to go on a tour of Spitalfields with Marc Gardiner, a qualified London tour guide specialising in Jewish tours in both London and Brighton.
Come along, spend time with other members whilst learning about the fascinating Jewish history of London's East End.
Please book your place with Marc ASAP at a cost of £22.38 per person, and then sign up below if you wish to join the synagogue whatsapp group for those going, so they can connect with each other on the day and alert to any changes.
Stroll with us through the Spitalfields area adjacent to the venerable City of London, where magnificent Georgian houses line the side streets of an historic (now trendy and multi-cultural) neighbourhood. Our walk will start in Aldgate at the site of the 2000-year old Roman Wall that defined the original settlement of Londinium, take us past Bevis Marks (London's oldest functioning synagogue opened in 1701), through famous streets such as Petticoat Lane and Brick Lane, and end at Spitalfields - a former Victorian covered market that is now famous for food, fashion, and art. Hear about immigrant communities over the centuries that found refuge and work nearby, including French Protestant silk weavers, East European Jewish tailors, and Bangladeshi Muslim restauranteurs. See historic streets where Yiddish was once the common language, later to be replaced by Bengali. Hear about the vibrant Jewish community that dominated the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and learn about 1000 years of Jewish history in Britain. Join us to celebrate London's cultural diversity in the heart of this great city!
Do book in below, and get in touch with the Synagogue Office if you have any questions.
