Irene who took us on the tour was lovely. We really enjoyed it. The cast were filming the day we went, would have made our day even better if we had managed to see some of them.

We loved everything about the tour. the tour is situated in the Historic Docklands and you have access to all the facilities and attractions. We looked round and enjoyed exploring some of the old boats. The tour was really interesting and we saw places where the show is set. Stories were revisited and we found out how they created the back grounds, snow etc. Helen our guide was really lovely and very knowledgeable. At the end of the tour you go into an area with some of the sets and props and have your photo taken. If you a fan of the show I would deffo recommend it

Get a sneak peak behind the scenes as you hear fascinating anecdotes about the filming of the show. Designed to represent the impoverished East End of London in the 1950s and 60s, the dockyards also have a fascinating history of their own. Walk along streets that were used to represent the slums of Poplar Dock, and walk in the footsteps of some of Miranda Hart and Jenny Agutter's most memorable scenes.
