Taste curries, tandoori, naan, sweets, and more while exploring Whitechapel and Brick Lane with a small-group local guide.
“This was a fun and tasty tour getting to know a section of London I'd never even heard of before. I can't say most of the dishes were strange to me, but they were from high-quality places, and a few of the desserts were new. The guide was knowledgeable and nice. It was a good time.”
Taste Borough Market’s best bites, local cider, British cheese, and Bankside history on a small-group London food walk.
“If you love food with some historical facts in the mix, then this tour is for you. Every bite was better than the last. From the most delicious sausage rolls ending with sticky pudding with a pint thrown in to top things off. We enjoyed ourselves at every turn. Wish I had room for more. Cheers to guides Pip and Tom for making our day.”

“Anita was friendly and informative. She not only talked about the food but also provided local color for the locations on the tour. A high point was the part of the tour on Chinatown. Bustling with people and many many restaurants. The Malaysian beef was a standout (consensus of the group). But if you like Italian the arancini with truffle sauce was to die for. A real sampling of what SoHo has to offer. And if you’re lucky Anita will be your guide.”
Taste London beyond the usual stops on a private three-hour food tour through Borough Market, Soho, or the East End with generous samples and local guides.
“This tour was amazing. We had a river cruise along the Thames prior to this and unfortunately returned much later than anticipated. David (our guide) waited 45 minutes for us and gave us an amazing tour of SoHo. it felt very personalized and it truly felt like David was showing us his home. He gave us insights into each dish that we had and some of my most memorable food memories from this trip occurred during this tour.”
Taste Shoreditch through bagels, fish and chips, truffles, crumble, drinks, street art, and East End stories on this small-group London tour.
