Default Golden Tours - why Shadwell & Cable Street?

In message , Someone Somewhere

I've noticed over the last few days that Golden Tours now seem to be
running a double-decker open top bus along Cable Street and using the
Bus Stand outside the old St Georges Town Hall (even with passengers on
board).

Is this a temporary diversion, or have they really run that short of
things to see in London that suddenly the sights of Shadwell are
important to them?


I know nothing about Gold Tours, but Cable Street certainly had an
important part in the UK's fight against fascists and racists in the
1930s: http://www.battleofcablestreet.org.uk/
