Eating London: Heart of 'The City' Food Tour

Prices may vary per season

Welcome to the only food tour in the City of London (really)

Duration: 3 Hours
Time of the day: 1:15pm

Welcome to the only food tour in the City of London (really!).

Down river from the palaces of Westminster, you’ll find the much older City of London, which dates back to Roman times and has been the epicenter of British and European life ever since.

Taste your way through the classic London dining destinations that fed the commercial, political and literary ambitions of a growing city – the oyster house, the chophouse, the chocolate house, the tavern & beyond – taking it from the middleweight capital of a small island nation to a world-famous global metropolis.

The story of the City of London is an entire novel written in wood, fire, stone, steel, glass, merchants & magic. Read it cover to cover on this completely one-of-a-kind culinary adventure through 2000 years, serving up the good, bad and bizarre tidbits of history, all framed by fantastic food. It’s the perfect London tour for first timers and long timers alike.

Tour Size

Tour Highlights Include

  • Feel the magic as you walk in the footsteps of Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Celtic queens, Roman soldiers and... Harry Potter? 🪄

  • Taste a classic (not the one you might be thinking of!) at London's oldest fish restaurant, loved by the late, great Anthony Bourdain. 

  • Dine in the favourite tavern of London’s most famous author and see his extensive bar bill 🍻

  • Unravel the controversial history of the City’s sugar and spice trade.

  • Discover the differences between the city of London and the City of London and what marks a real Londoner as you marvel at magnificent medieval buildings, historic markets and Roman ruins.

  • From pies to buns, chocolate delicacies to chophouse classics, washed down with a couple of thoroughly British beverages, your tour of the Square Mile will be a square meal and more 🇬🇧
