Try a delicious salted beef bagel and learn about the different arrivals of Jewish people who had to escape persecution from Eastern Europe throughout the 19th century.

Have a tasty samosa in a Bangladeshi restaurant and discover how their cuisine had such an impact in British culture that, even though they only arrive in the mid 20th Century, curry has now become a national British dish! Indulge in some devilishly good West African chocolate and finish the tour with a healthy fresh juice in a hidden hipster juice bar as you make up your mind over one of the most controversial topics in the East End: gentrification.

London is a cultural mosaic where at any given time over three hundred different languages are spoken at the same time. The same could be said about London’s cuisine, possibly the most cosmopolitan in the world. No other place in London is a bigger reflection of this than the area just east of the London City Walls. On our Free East End Food Tour you will understand why this postindustrial brick loaded area of London has become such a magnet for foodies all over the world!

*Important Note*: You decide how much you eat and how much you spend. Forget about paying £60 to £80 for a food tour ticket and being given food that you may not like or are unable to eat because of dietary restrictions. You decide what you eat with the help of our guides and if you get an item from each place it’ll only cost you around £15 to £20 in total, even less if you’re sharing! You are of course absolutely welcome to come along even if you don’t want to eat anything but want to learn about the area and London’s fascinating food culture.
