Alan Gilbey is a genuine East End native who has been doing guided tours for over 20 years, he has also written a book called East End back passages which I found when researching our (sadly postponed) Docklands Tour, I was instantly hooked, the book stayed in my bag for weeks and more than once made me miss my miss my tube stop or go out of my way to walk down random side street to check out something that Mr Gilbey had mentioned. East end back passes is witty, informative with the kind of insights can only come from a life time spent in London's East End. I really hope to be able to check out one of Mr Gilbeys tours once all this madness is over!
