Get under the skin of Shoreditch on the longest-running food tour of East London, and discover the local hotspots, the traditional eateries and learn the fascinating stories that wind their way through the atmospheric streets.

You’ll meet in the trendy district of Hackney, before heading on a food tour of the iconic areas around Brick Lane, Spitalfields Market and more. Try classic salt beef bagels on the world-famous Brick Lane and wander into tempting chocolate shops, then enjoy the assault on the senses as you wander the stalls of Spitalfields.

If you concentrate on just their food, it can say so much about a person, city, country and culture which I find so fascinating.

What our travellers are saying...

This made for an amazing evening out and Eddie was a fantastic host - you could tell he really put care and thought into his selections of history and food. My favourite was by far the Basque restaurant, with a fantastic range for both serious meat lovers and vegetarians alike. An eclectic mix of pintxos, Indian, chocolates, Nutella/ricotta pizza, salt beef bagels and fantastic wine and beers.... and a great dash of history and discoveries I neve

Have recommended to friends and family I booked the tour wanting to do something slightly different for my partner’s birthday and I can definitely say that it exceeded both of our expectations. With Eddie as our guide we had a brilliant day out. We learnt loads of interesting things about the history of the east end, facts were short and snappy and Eddie’s knowledge and passion for London meant that we didn’t even have time to wonder what

East End Tour- an experience not to be missed! This tour incorporated everything you could want from a vacation outing- food, drink, history, fun facts, art, laughs, a bit of exercise; you name it! Our tour guide, Eddie, was a delight! He knew all the local business owners, which made us feel like locals ourselves. Not having to wait in queues or for reservations was a nice perk, as well. He knew the answers to all our questions and encouraged u
