THE EAST END TOUR
We start our journey at Big Head,a narrow street off Scabby Lane, Whitechapel. We then proceed along Billy Passage and into Hanbury Street.
Soon, we come to a pub called the Filthy Breakfast and continue along Hanbury Street.
Next, we turn into Kevin's Bedroom, a street, only one inch wide. For this we have to shrink our bodies to squeeze into this very narrow street that is no more than an inch wide.
At the end of this narrow, narrow, narrow street we return our bodies to their previous width and continue along Smelly Street, a street where horse manure lines the roadside and is used as a building material, especially for Smelly Street's three storey houses.
If you have to enter any of these houses in Smelly Street, please remember to put on a gas mask because the houses have manure in between the bricks.
Not only that, horse manure is also used to reinforce the walls inside each house.
Smelly Street has been nicknamed 'Stink Bomb Avenue' because of the pong along this turning, and dubbed the smelliest street in Stepney.
We soon leave Smelly Street behind and proceed along Tucker's Duckyard, a street that take's us into Commercial Passage, a narrow passage off Commercial Street.
Here, stood the Baby Boy's Youth club, established in 1888, to take in new born babies who passed a degree in maths, even at birth.
It's now a dead man's club.
Soon we go along Commercial Street and into Fournier Street, home of the institute for headless people.
Half way along the street we come to Joe Soap's Cabin, a cafe where we stop for lunch.
This cafe is unusual in that it has toilets in the dining area, which mean's that people have to relieve themselves whilst everybody is eating.
Because of this it is advisable to don a gas mask to shut out the pong whilst you're eating your dinner.
There's even a table with a toilet on top of it - table commode, which is used when no one is dining, and closed off when people are using the table for eating.
Soon after lunch we leave the cafe and proceed along Bernard Tisboy Lane.
Soon we come to a heart gallery, where hearts are put on display.
It's called Whitechapel Heart Gallery.
Soon, we walk down Pickle Street and into Bag Of Heads Street.
This street has the smallest synagogue in Whitechapel, only four feet wide and has to accommodate twelve people.
The man in charge is Isaac Matzos, the man who conduct's the services every day.
Next on the journey is Mile End Waste, which mean's a load of waste that lines the roadside along Mile End road.
The huge mountain of rubbish has lined Mile End Road for years, that's why it's called Mile End Waste.
The rubbish lined road is a huge tourist attraction, as is the horse manure mine in nearby Stinkerton street.
Here, people dig up horse manure from the mines down below.
A horse manure miner can earn up to ?5000 a week.
Soon we leave the rubbish strewn section, known as Mile End Waste and pass the site where Whackhams, the department store, used to be, and is now a human body shop, a store that sell's spare body parts for people, such as hearts, lungs, kidneys, human heads, e.t.c.
People often come to the human body shop to buy themselves a new heart when their old one has packed up, or a new head if their own head has been knocked off by yobbos.
Meanwhile, the East End tour continues as we turn into Hayfield passage pass the old unruly school for boys and an old girls club which took in new born girls, and pass the old workhouse hospital, then we turn into Cold Street and along Stepney Way, pass Smiley Park.
Our tour end at Stepney Waste underground station, on the District Line and head off home, passing Limescale Central, Bandy Green, Mile End Heath, Bow Road West, Stratford Dogs, Wanstead, Staresbrook and onto Gants Hill, where we get lifted up to street level by crane, which take's us into the street and head back to the centre.
