I used to work in smiths in stratford mall, lenny and his wife val were. regular customers. Len was a very pleasant man too talk too and loved to talk about the past. He was also very funny. Val was a lovely lady and i enjoyed our conversations. He was a true gentleman despite his past and did no way deserveld the torture the krays inflicted on him. I remember him with fondness who took the time to engage in conversation with a store assistant.R.I.P. lenny you will be missed. Was a pleasure to know you. Xx

Very interesting article! I have noticed most of the krays friends and associates are now dead. I read Lennies book a. Few years back, practically all of the krays books make good copy. Like most old school eastenders Lennies story shows a quaint nostalgic East End that is now sadly gone for good RIP Lennie

I worked with Lenny in a warehouse in bow in 1978 .. I was just a green kid and had no idea about his previous life. I remember once at tea break we were all talking about the tv show called porridge ( about prison inmates ) and Lenny said ‘prison is nothing like that!’ and I asked .’how do you know Len?’ his reply was .. ‘ I used to be a screw! ‘ …and then he looked at his mate and started laughing. he was a real character.

I probably knew Lennie Hamilton more than most people, we were two pals when Lennie did his last bit of bird and finished it off in HMP Eastchurch on the Island (Sheppey) we lived together for some time on the Witness Protection Scheme in a lovely flat in North London provided and paid for by the RCS (Regional Crime Squad. Lennie was never called as a witness because the twins were weighed off for various other offences, so no way did he break the code of silence. Lennie some years later wrote a book detailing some of his life as well as some incidents we were both involved in and in the front of said book Lennie gives me a nice dedication and thanks in helping to put the book together. The book: ” I was branded by Ronnie Kray”

If he was such an honourable east end villain,how come he broke the untold Criminal’s code of conduct,by turning informant?
