Overview

Our Eat the East End tour is designed to showcase the very best of London's ethnic communities and the amazing food we all love.
This small group tour will take you through the character filled streets of London's east end. Stopping at some of our favourite eating spots. Some world famous, some only locals know. But are independently owned and have fantastic dishes waiting for us to try.

Colouful stories are never far away on this route. We'll walk the very streets where Jack the Ripper prowled in Victorian times. We'll see unique street art and hear about a few local legends along the way.
