The Kray Twins

Talks-Demos

Talks & Demos, History, Social | West London District Branch

Tuesday 18 March 2025 at 2.00pm

We are joined by historian Ian Porter who will tell us the real story of the Kray twins, the first and still only celebrity villains. A tale of tasty geezers, dodgy characters and lots of porkies. Ian will start with their childhood and how they had promising boxing careers. He will cover Ron's mental illness and how the twins became Celebrity villains and gained friends in high places. We will also learn about Reggie's marital problems, and how the twins came into conflict with the Richardson gang including one Mad Frankie Fraser. We will hear all about three infamous murders, and how this leads eventually to their arrest. Lastly Ian will tell us about the nice little earners whilst they were in prison!

Light refreshments will be served - donations are welcomed.
