Bethnal Green’s story is one rich in variety. Many authors have sought to engage with the human currents of Bethnal Green and to capture its unique flavour.

The tour features readings from the writings of Iain Sinclair and George Orwell, as well as less familiar authors such as Alexander Baron and Arthur Morrison.

Meet outside the entrance to Shoreditch High Street Overground Station.

The tour finishes approximately two hours later near Bethnal Green Underground and Overground Stations.
