Come hungry! This half-day London foodie experience is designed to cover both breakfast and lunch as you taste your way through London’s most famous markets. We begin at Borough Market with curated breakfast tastings while learning how Southwark fed the city for centuries. After a relaxed walk across London Bridge, we explore Leadenhall Market and enjoy a refined tea or coffee stop at the Royal Exchange, once the heart of global trade. The tour continues to Spitalfields and Brick Lane, shaped by immigration, cutting edge street art, and bold flavours, where we enjoy a satisfying lunch tasting before finishing with a sweet dessert finale in the eclectic Spitalfields Market. Tastings are thoughtfully portioned across the day so you can enjoy a variety of flavours without feeling rushed or overly full. You'll come away with a new appreciation and dare I say admiration for the London food scene!
Borough Market (Breakfast): Begin with curated breakfast tastings at one of London’s oldest food markets while exploring Southwark’s rich history. London Bridge Walk: Enjoy views of the Thames and hear how the river shaped London’s trade and daily life. Leadenhall Market and Royal Exchange: Discover this beautiful Victorian market and pause for a refined tea or coffee stop in the historic Royal Exchange. Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market (Lunch): Walk through an area shaped by scrappy immigrants and thought provoking street artists, finishing with a deliciously international lunch tasting. Dessert Finale: End with a quintessentially British sweet treat before free time to explore Spitalfields Market. **I make reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary needs when notified in advance, but I cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Guests are responsible for managing their own dietary requirements.**
