Soho is one of London’s most improbable neighbourhoods: a few streets where Italian delis, Spanish tapas bars, and the fragrant backstreets of Chinatown sit within a short walk of each other. Once a rough district just outside the city, it drew writers, artists, and rebels, and immigrants who arrived with the world’s cuisines in their luggage. From the Swinging Sixties fashion of Carnaby Street to the red pagoda gates of Gerrard Street, every corner has been reinvented more than once. The best way to understand it is to eat your way through it.
This 3-hour tour with Secret Food Tours takes you deep into that story, one stop at a time. It opens at a beloved tapas bar with prawn and jamón croquettes alongside bittersweet Catalonian vermouth, then moves on to a handmade Sicilian cannoli, freshly piped with ricotta, a nod to the Italian settlers who made Soho their own. Next comes a tasting of three historic gins, each tied to a chapter of London’s past, before a Singaporean kitchen serves coconut beef rendang with roti canai, one of the city’s most underrated dishes. In Chinatown, your guide walks you past the queue for the best BBQ pork bao buns in town. The tour closes with a final drink at a classic Soho bar, and somewhere along the way you’ll meet the Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.
Your expert local guide leads a group of no more than 10, so you get the stories behind the food, not just the food.
