What is London Food tours?
London Food Lovers tours explores London’s amazing culinary through a variety of diverse tastings in some of London’s most popular areas. Our tours are designed for everyone – from expert foodies to anyone who wants to discover new flavors and places! Doing food tours is a way to not only discover a city, but also discover places that locals go to, and of course, avoid food traps-which are generally extremely low quality and usually expensive. We create tours that explore the “lesser-known” places that are beloved by locals. We only like to work with small venues that have a heart and passion for what they do. We are the only tour company in London that has created a food tour dedicated to the international flavors that London has to offer, the Soho International Food Tour. We are also the only company that runs a Jack The Ripper Happy Hour Tasting Tour.Our delicious walking tours are aimed at bringing “food lovers” around London to taste a variety of different foods and drinks, while learning about cultures behind those foods and the history behind the neighborhoods. With your expert food guide, you will eat your way through some of London’s most historic boroughs and discover unique venues – some more known than others, while tasting some of London’s most interesting food offerings.
Tell us about The Different Tours…
SOHO INTERNATIONAL FOOD TOUR
With ten tastings over 4.5 Hours
Soho, London’s premier neighborhood for entertainment, is filled with pubs, bakeries, restaurants & coffee shops. This small borough bordering with some of London’s most famous shopping streets like Oxford and Regent Street is always at the forefront in trends, and one thing never lacking, is food.
Our 4.5-hour exploration of Soho will begin with a delicious breakfast tasting at a unique little restaurant.
From there, you will wander down one charming historic street after another, stopping for a variety of delicious international foods including Italian, Indian, Taiwanese and Mexican. You will also taste local British fare in a famous English Public House – one of the five oldest in London, while learning about the importance of public houses in British culture.
Then your tour guide will lead you through the bustling streets of Chinatown, as you head towards dessert. After a nice digestive walk, you will enjoy some “well-needed” dessert from the oldest French patisserie in the UK paired with wines at the oldest winebar in London!
JACK THE RIPPER HAPPY HOUR
With five tastings over 2.5 Hours
Walk in the steps of the most iconic serial killer of all time
This tour is the only tour in London that has been designed to tell the story of Jack The Ripper as you sample a variety of tastings – some fitting with the Jack The Ripper Story and some that are local favourites in the East End.
You will walk through the same streets that Jack The Ripper famously prowled, as you stop in a variety of different tasting locations.
We start the tour with a tasting of old-fashioned Gin, followed by an exploration of the dark streets of Whitechapel, where you will go behind the scenes of the famous Victorian year, 1888.
On the tour, you will visit Spitalfield’s market and have a wine-tasting accompanied with bread and olive oil. From Spitalfield’s Market, you will head over to Brick Lane, as you discover one of the East End’s most famous streets.
Along Brick Lane, we will stop at a couple of locations including the most famous Jewish Bakery in East London, and try one of their fresh bagels. Our final stop is at one of the first Craft Brewing companies in the UK and sample one of their locally brewed craft beers.
LONDON PIZZA LOVERS
With five tastings over 2.5 Hours
Everyone loves Italian food…particularly PIZZA. People go to Italy just to eat pizza and due to its massive popularity, it has not only spread around the world, but there are loads of unique twists on pizza that have proved even more popular with locals than the original version! The London Pizza Lovers Tour explores some of London’s most creative pizza venues, as you learn about the history of pizza, how pizza came to London, and how it has become one of London’s all-time favourite and varied snacks – loved by visitors, as well as locals!
We will sample 5 different versions of Pizza in 5 very unique locations. You will hear the stories behind how these pizzas arrived in London along with a complete history of pizza and how to spot real pizza from the “fake”, tourist versions.
Discover new stories and flavours that you may have never tried before and get an understanding of how our current concept of pizza came to be.
You will finish with a “dessert” pizza…something that is very popular in Italy, but has yet to be understood by the international community and walk away with a well-rounded, better understanding of how good pizza is for you, as well. This tour is a great walk around some of the London’s loveliest streets and is perfect for expert pizza lovers as well as those trying pizza for the first time.
Atleast 24 hours in advance, but preferably 48 hours in advance.
Our group tours are no larger than 12 people, however for private and corporate groups we make exceptions based on what the clients’ needs are.
