Why take this tour?
It should come as no surprise that East London is a very popular area for food tours.
The district, which is also known as the East End, is home to several immigrant communities that have contributed greatly to the impressive range of cuisines available.
Perhaps the most famous street in this neighbourhood is Brick Lane, a long road that locals fondly refer to as ‘Curry Mile’ for the many Bangladeshi restaurants.
Unlike all the other food tours in London, there is no upfront fee for our tour.
You simply pay the guide what you think the tour was worth, as well as purchase whichever food samples you wish to try.
There is no requirement or pressure to buy any of the food recommended on the tour, though our tour stops at some pretty amazing eateries, so it can be hard to resist!
Cost: The guide and tour operate on a pay-what-you-wish basis. For food, you pay only for the samples you choose to eat. If you get samples at each stop, it will cost you between £10-£20 in total.
