A Walk with Actor W. Bro Vas Blackwood
(“Rory Breaker” from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels)
Let’s face it—nobody makes a gangster film like the Brits! And it’s not every day you get the chance to be guided by a true legend of the genre. Actor and Freemason, W. Bro Vas Blackwood, known for his unforgettable role as Rory Breaker in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, takes you on an unmissable journey into the underbelly of East London.
With insights gained from working with renowned director Guy Ritchie—who famously rubbed shoulders with London’s underworld to ensure authenticity in his films—Vas Blackwood will lead you through the dark and fascinating past of the East End. Expect gripping tales of some of London’s most infamous characters, including Freddie Foreman, Dave Courtney, Barbara Windsor, and gangster-turned-actor Lenny McLean.
The Gangster London Tour offers you the unique opportunity to have a fun afternoon with Vas, who will share anecdotes at each location, from the chilling true story of how Ronnie Kray killed George Cornell to how Freddie Foreman disposed of bodies for the Krays. Hear behind-the-scenes stories from the set of Lock, Stock, including Vinnie Jones’ first day of filming.
Vas will guide you through Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, and Shoreditch, visiting real-life gangster landmarks and film locations from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This 2-hour walking Krays tour is a fun and unique way to explore the infamous stomping grounds of the Kray twins and has even been recommended by legendary gangster “Mad” Frankie Fraser.
The tour begins at the iconic Blind Beggar Pub, stopping at locations such as The Repton Boys Club, the church where the Krays’ funerals took place, and other legendary spots that played a pivotal role in transforming the Kray twins from gangsters into celebrity icons.
