Join our award-winning guide Stephen Burstin on an enthralling walk of discovery through two districts in the heart of the West End - Soho and Fitzrovia – which are steeped in a hidden history of a vast Jewish community that once lived there:

• Be shocked to learn of the abject poverty that existed among Jews living just a stone's throw from the luxury homes of the ultra rich; 

• Hear about larger than life personalities including the billionaire's daughter who devoted her life to creating happiness among working class girls; the tailor with 10 daughters who turned to running a pub; the London boy winning the highest civilian gallantry medal during the Second World War; and the Hebrew school pupils studying alongside (and making friends with) Soho's red light ladies of the streets; 

• Discover how bitter rivalries split Synagogue congregations and led to new religious movements; 

• Stroll along famous Berwick Street, Dean Street and Frith Street, each offering a host of wonderful stories such as the comical antics of market traders; a kosher restaurant whose most enthusiastic diners were Hollywood stars; the school that was Jewish in all but name; and where the Great Tailors' Strike began 100 years ago involving thousands of Jewish workers. Learn also why a tiny synagogue boasted an astonishing 1,000 congregants.
