This isn't just about food; it's about experiencing the heart and soul of London's most famous market.

You'll kick things off right outside Monmouth Coffee Company, where the aroma of freshly roasted beans sets the stage for the day. With your host by your side, you're in for a treat, starting with a sweet surprise. Imagine biting into a fluffy donut oozing with creamy custard or tangy jam. It's a sugary delight that's perfect for sharing – if you can resist keeping it all to yourself!

Your next stop is a closely guarded secret, known for its iconic sandwich that locals can't get enough of. Picture this: spicy, smoky chorizo nestled in fresh bread, bursting with flavor.

It's an experience that transports you straight to the bustling streets of Baghdad, right in the heart of London.

Then, prepare to be wowed by a pasta dish that's become the stuff of legend. Picture fresh, handmade pasta coated in a rich, savory sauce that makes each bite better than the last. Sharing this dish is a must, as it's too good not to savor together.

As the flavors continue to swirl, it's time for a relaxing break with a pint of craft beer and some of the finest seafood nibbles around. Imagine sipping a refreshing beer, nibbling on top-notch seafood, and soaking in the lively market atmosphere. It's the perfect moment to chat with your host, who will undoubtedly share some insider secrets and fun facts about the market.

She thoughtfully planned out the tour for me based on what I was interested in. She was very knowledgable about the areas we went to and made recommendations for other places to go after my tour and for future trips. The tea and scones we had were also delicious! I will definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is traveling to London :)

It was more like being with a friend than a guide. He provided a lot of information and we joked back and forth.

Nice trip. Local markets were explored with unique food tastings. Infact it was not tasting and we were full by the tour ended

We had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.
