The Krays

Talk by Ian Porter

Ian Porter – historian, novelist and walks guide –will reveal the real story of the Kray twins, the first and only celebrity villains.

Looking at the things you may have heard, discover which are true and which are porkies! You will also learn about the mental illness, the bluff, the violence, the sharp suits, the homosexuality and the government cover up. Find out more about the Richardson gang and the murders of Cornell and Jack the Hat McVitie.

We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
