Terrific fun. Mick was a wonderful guide. Great way to see some of East End and enjoy a spooky mystery. Was a cold evening, so we were very happy to have the warmth of a new, roomy black cab to take us around!

Absolutely brilliant afternoon with Bill (William on a Sunday).He managed to cram in so much information about Jack the Ripper and The Krays whilst navigating the busy roads of the east end. Bill really does know the knowledge, and we recommend BCHT and Bill to anyone wanting to have an memorable experience whilst staying in London.
