Want to see the next big thing? Olympic East London is a fast-changing corner of the city that's hyped to be it. I've been exploring/living it for more than a decade (I've been on TV and in the papers!) and can give you the inside track on the new creative and cultural quarter like nobody else. We'll walk from the former Victorian factory town Hackney Wick (it recently had Europe's largest concentration of artists) to the Olympic Park. Discover centuries of East London history right next to the biggest construction and regeneration project in Europe where creative industries cluster. Hear about art; industrial firsts; alternative living; DIY culture; underground movements past and present; revolutionary toymakers and the famous Matchgirls Strike; see exterior views of National Stadium. Find out what locals really thought about the Games as we take a blast through London's past and see its future. As featured in our tour for the BBC, Guardian newspaper and other European media.
• Find out where plastic was invented as we walk the streets. • Check out contemporary street art on 19th Century warehouse walls. • See canals and discover unusual floating communities. • We'll visit a gallery. • See (external views) the Olympic Stadium and other architecturally impressive buildings on the site. Optional (price not included): • Ride the elevator to the top of East London's version of the Eiffel Tower, for spectacular 300ft high views from the highest piece of public art in the country! • For the daring, take its slide back to the bottom for a fast track descent and some Olympic adventure! This tour as a whole or partially, can be customized to fit your preferences - please inquire!
