My new favorite thing! - Walking through a part of London new to me and only hearing stories and histories of women is my new favorite thing. The tour is well researched and expertly told. Women's stories need to be shared again and again and Women of London is doing their part towards this goal.

Fabulous - Within 10 minutes of the start of this tour I knew it was going to be fantastic and I'd be signing up to do all the tours! Becky was a wonderful guide for our group including my 19 year old daughter. So much fascinating detail delivered in a really accessible way - Becky knows her stuff but more importantly she is a great storyteller with the ability to pick out just the right amount of detail at each spot and then answer follow-up questions when you want to know more. What a wonderful way to spend a damp drizzly March Sunday morning. Highly recommend.

Working Women of the East End Walking Tour with Becky - Did tour today with Becky. Our group comprised of family and a friend aged 19 to 50s. All thoroughly enjoyed the informative tour. I always find that doing these tours tells you so much more than a guidebook. It was a dull & damp day but it did not detract from keeping us all totally fascinated. We’ve all lived in London for most of / all is our lives but saw so many places & leaned so much about the women from history to whom we owe so much. We will all definitely be back for more!

The focus on working women is a refreshing change. - Another great tour from Women of London (this was our second). Getting away from history that revolves around politicians, royals, religious and business types was a refreshing change. Also basing the tour in the East End gives it a much more diverse focus, reflecting that part of London. Becky again provided an informative commentary with poignant observations. We highly recommend the Women of London tours.

Get the full history by adding women's stories - We were glad to find Women of London tours to fill in the gaps left by most tours that primarily focus on men. Our guide, Becky, has a passion for women's history and told us well-researched and detailed stories that brought several fascinating women to life as we walked through the East End. Highly recommend.
