Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

You might like to start your London food tour at Borough Market, over 1,000 years trading and surrounded by history. A real favorite stop on any London food tour. And remember, this is a private tour, so we stay as long as you want before moving on. Borough is also a great place to end your tour, eat relax, then spend the rest of your day wandering around Southbank.

Taking your tour on a Sunday? You might enjoy spending some time at the award winning street food market located in london's wonderful Victoria park. You can browse organic farm butchers, locally baked bread, Kombucha Bar's, gourmet Scotch eggs, as well as eat your way around the world visiting all the street food vendors. A great spot to mix up an urban
London feel with some green space and mingle like a local.

A saturday market that you could just mossy around for hours. Found in East London this market is a Victorian Street market, located in the London Borough of Hackney and is surrounded by more than 70 cafe's, restaurants and pubs. Lets not forget the street art too! Again, enjoyed very much by locals so if you want to just blend in and relax, this is a great place to stop. Don't forget all our tours are private so we can mix and match to give your the most perfect London Street Food taxi tour (and a whole lot of history).

Stop 4

What a great combo. And we are not talking about the food! A unique London Taxi Tour, mixing outstanding food, urban London and traditional London in one great tour. Yes that's right, as we drive from one street food location to the other we will be pointing out all the classic London sightseeing spots and telling you all about them. After we pick you up from your central London pick up point we will visit at least two street food markets and you will get time to stop and shop at them all. We will leave you at the last street food market of the day so you can settle down for your lunch or supper and really enjoy the London urban vibe.
