Your Itinerary

Shoreditch

Just nestled away in the very hip and trendy Shoreditch district there lays one of London's hidden secrets from the Victorian era. I can't say too much as It will ruin the surprise of what laid there but in short, this area that we will go to was the epicentre to a pivotal movement that happened in London which then resonated through-out to the rest of the United Kingdom.

Brick Lane

As we walk down the very electric Brick lane in the East End we will see, taste and smell all the attractions that make it one of the top places to visit in London. From incredible street art & street food to musicians playing music on the lane. This part of London has of recent times kindly welcomed a bohemian sort of person and that has truly lightened up the whole area.

The Old Truman Brewery

The Truman's Brewery dates back to the mid 1600s and was the largest brewery in the world at the time. We will walk into where the workers used to clock in and out for work and talk about the history of the building and what lays in front of it for its future. The old brick chimney dominates the sky line and acts as a strong reminder to what this area was known for over the last 500 years. From brewery's, factories, tanneries, distillery's and brick kilns which were all laden along the lane and the surrounding area. I will explain why, on the tour.

Fournier Street

Here we will walk down and talk about the French Huguenots who used to live here after being exiled from France in the 1600s. Their houses still remain intact and with a hefty price tag too. Also this area was known to be Jack the Rippers old stomping grounds which we will talk and explore more about too.

Christ Church Spitalfields

Built in 1714 and designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor (Christopher Wren's apprentice) has stood strong and tall in the area especially when the blitz hit London. Its design was mocked when it was built but now is revered for its beauty. We will talk a little just outside the church and also take in the incredible vantage points of the surrounding area where we can see many other special landmarks too.

Brick Lane Market

Brick lane market - let's say - is the younger sibling to Spitalfields Market across from Brick Lane. Not too many of the tourists know about it and still is a little hidden gem. This market only opens on the weekend and sometimes on a Friday. If we're lucky to do a tour on one of those days we will surely go inside and have an explore.

Old Spitalfields Market

One of London's oldest markets, from humbled beginnings selling fruit and veg to a very swanky and hip and trendy quarter of London. From latte's to the latest haircut, anything you want can be found here. Also, the building itself is incredible, a sort of cathedral with its incredible steel beams to the vast space it sits on. You can easily get lost in here; which isn't so bad if you ask me.

Great afternoon spent touring the East end of London, learning about the hidden history, whilst imbibing and eating foods from around the world. Eddie was an excellent host. The whole event felt like a trip with good friends. What more can you ask for. A fab social Sunday afternoon! We would highly recommend and will be back for another tour!

We had booked the tour as our company incentive, and were completely blown away by the whole experience. Eddie and his colleague did an absolutely incredible job at guiding us through East London - from Old Street, to Brick Lane and then Spitalfields Market. Delicious food, both sweet and savoury, ensuring there was something for everyone! I couldn't recommend Eddie more highly, for both a business event or just private. Thank you Eddie!

We had the most wonderful experience on the tour of the East End with Eddie. The tour was engaging, tasty and fun for all. Our group included three adults, two children and a dog, all of whom had a great time. We all learned new facts about London and got to know some lovely new food places. It is a really nice way to celebrate a special occasion or spend some quality time in the city. We hope to come back for more tours soon and highly recommend this.

I am from an English school, and our students and I had a wonderful afternoon with our guide, Eddie. He was very patient and communicative. We tried a variety of delicious foods and drinks, took some great photos and videos, and had enjoyable conversations with the entire group. It was a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend

Just returned home after an absolutely brilliant food tour of the Spitalfields and Brick Lane area by the uber cool main man himself Eddie! I went with 7 members of my family including two children under 10 years of age. The rest were adults. East London was not an area of London I knew particularly well beforehand. However, thanks to Eddie and the tour it's an area that I want to know more about! The cultural history, diversity, food and just the overall vibe of the area was just amazing. We started with Eddie telling us about the history of the different communities that came to the area and learnt about some if the modern day artisans that make the whole area so unique. We also sampled a range of delicious food during the 3-hour tour such as samosas and sweet treats, artisan chocolate truffles, and we bought proper hot chocolate from Dark Sugar which was uber rich and just delicious, salt beef bagels from the world famous Beigel Bakery on Brick Lane, artisan sourdough doughnuts and ended with bubble tea! Overall, the day was such great fun and Eddie elevated the trip and tour to another level. Thank you so much Eddie for everything and for making the day so special. See you again soon for another visit shortly. Great job!👏👏👏👏

We had the joy of taking the East End food tour with Eddie recently as part of a corporate event / group outing. Following a long day of training, our group had a brilliant time unwinding through the streets of the East End sampling local delicacies along the way. Eddie put everyone at ease and did a brilliant job of telling the history of the local area alongside the colourful stories of the suppliers/food we were tasting along the way. It was the perfect way to end our event, and the feedback from the group has been amazing. Thanks Eddie!

We did a business team event with Eddie and it was excellent. I would 100% recommend this. The food places chosen were interesting and incredible quality. The walking and history was fascinating too. Eddie is an awesome guide and we had a brilliant afternoon!

This was the second food tour I've done with Eddie. I took my parents on the South East London tour when they visited in December of 2021 and they had such a great time, that I immediately booked the East End tour with them and my brother when they came back to visit this year. Once again, everyone had an incredible time. Eddie is a great story teller and tour guide and keeps the tour extremely interactive and interesting. The food stops were also delicious and provided a variety of different types of food. I live in London and on both of Eddie's tours, I learned something new and I found new places to eat. I highly recommend Eddie's tours as a great way to see and learn about different London neighborhoods while also eating delicious food along the way.

Eddie is the consummate tour guide leader - knowledgeable, smart, entertaining and up to date on events in the East End as well as its history. We had a great time and would go to the other parts of London with him on subsequent trips.
