Explore the prison’s fascinating history and find out what life was really like for the people who lived behind its walls. You’ll learn about the tough conditions inmates faced and hear stories about some of the prison’s most famous prisoners—like the Kray Twins, who were locked up here in 1952.

During the visit, you’ll also think about how the media has shown the Krays over the years. Were they really the ‘glamorous legends’ we often see in films and stories, or were they dangerous criminals? We’ll look at how the media can change the way we see people and how that affects our view of society.
