AFTERWARDS WHERE THERE'LL BE TIME FOR QUESTIONS. Nearest tubes:
Liverpool Street, Aldgate East ---- A Radical History Tour around the
East End, Let a seasoned anarchist veteran introduce you to all the rich
and unknown history of the East End. Take a trip around the "narrow,
crooked streets", by-lanes and alleys of the East End. THRILL as we
visit the site of the Sugar Loaf pub, famed for its weekly anarchist
meetings which tempted "poor flies into the trap". GASP as we visit the
sites of the first organising attempts among Jewish workers and the
scenes of mass strike meetings. SOB as we see the soup kitchens which
fed the poor and hungry.
Your pulse will race when we come upon the site of the Russian Social
Democratic Party Congress, where the split between the Bolsheviks and
the Mensheviks first emerged. You will gaze in wonder at the door
through which Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin all went. Your heart will beat
loudly when you gaze upon the place where two Latvian revolutionaries
held off armed police and Guardsmen for many hours. You will be
awestruck by our visits to the two great Anarchist clubs of the East
End, home of many speeches, plays and musical diversions and you will
mutter in outrage when you hear about the brutal attacks by the police
on the Anarchists there. You will wonder at the streets which were
squatted lock stock and barrel in a confrontation with the authorities
and you will be intrigued by the building which housed one of the
several free schools in the East End dedicated to enlightened education.
So down your tools, pick up your red and black flag, and dive into the
inspiring world of East London's Radical History.
