History:
	Following the success of the pilot run, in partnership with the London Fringe Festival in August 2010, the tours were re-launched on World Homeless Day (October 10th 2010) and rolling out permanently. These are tours with a social conscience, appealing to Londoners and visitors alike, and anyone who wants to connect with people from different walks of life. ‘London’s homeless are some of the most creative and resilient people to share our streets and we’re very lucky indeed to have such a wonderful team of them to help us uncover the richness of hidden London’ (Lidija Mavra, co-ordinator). Unseen Tours will challenge your view of what it means to be a person living in London. The tours will also directly contribute to improving the quality of life of some of London’s most marginalised people. Tickets cost either £5 or £8 (depending on circumstances) and the lion’s share will go to the guides themselves, enabling them to make a living and improve their situations. All profits will be reinvested back into Sock Mob Events, a social enterprise, to train more guides and continue to build their skills and creativity.
