Walking food tours in London
Every tour on this page is a walking food tour. You walk between stops and taste at each one.
The East End tours cover Brick Lane and Spitalfields. The Soho tours add Chinatown, and the Brixton tour goes to south London.

If you would rather sit down, an afternoon tea bus serves tea and cakes on a tour of the sights. The afternoon tea guide linked at the end of this page compares them.
What a London food tour costs
Our London food tours cost from €17 to €154 a person. The price depends on how much food is included, the drinks and the length.
The €17 Soho and Covent Garden tour is cheap because food and drink are extra. Tours that include food start at €85.
The twilight Soho tour costs more, from €148, because it adds 3 cocktails. The 4-hour market walk is the dearest, from €154.
