There is no better way to experience the richness and diversity of London's East End than by tasting its delicious street food. Join me, a long-time East End resident and cultural anthropologist, as we explore the immigration histories of the area and fill our bellies at the same time. We'll sample food from the Chinese, Jewish, Bangladeshi, Turkish, and Ghanaian communities while admiring the East End's vibrant street art and unique culture. Whether this is your first time in London or you've been here a dozen times, this is the ideal tour for exploring the East End. You'll leave this tour with a deep understanding of the past, present, and future of the area - and a full stomach!
We start our tour at Spitalfields Market, where we explore the area's Jewish and Huguenot history. We sample Chinese dumplings and Turkish gozleme (filled flatbread) in the busy market before peeking inside the infamous Ten Bells pub and gazing up at Christchurch Spitalfields. Next, we make our way to Brick Lane to see a remarkable mosque and taste samosas and a cup of masala chai (spiced tea). After learning the fascinating history of fish and chips, we taste some of the UK's best while people-watching outdoors. Strolling past street art and cool shops, we head to a legendary beigel shop to brave the queue and taste salt beef or smoked salmon beigels. Finally, we end our tour with a selection of chocolate truffles from a Ghanaian-British chocolate shop. At this point, I can walk you to Shoreditch High Street Station, or back to Spitalfields Market.
