JT LONDON WALKERS
About Us
JT London Walkers has grown from a love of touring historic London by foot
So much history is bound up in the stones, streets, buildings and geographical landmarks, that needs to be told.
The native Londoner or British tourist as well as the International traveller can but marvel at the wealth of hundreds of years of civilisation and culture which has flourished in London.
Our speciality is the history of the Jewish Community in the City of London, in The East End and in the West End

with its very wide pavements, was a social hub for the Jewish East End, perfect for the daytime market and Saturday evening promenades.
This area became prominent after the mass immigration of Jews mainly from eastern Europe from 1880 onwards. This immigration was poor and desperately needed work and decent accommodation to house large families
