Itinerary
Our guide will show you the best restaurants in this neighborhood. We will go to 5 restaurants and try over 10 different dishes/drinks to get to know the best of London cuisine!
Set between busy Covent Garden and the quieter streets of Seven Dials, Neal’s Yard is a small, colourful corner of London, hidden down narrow passageways and pleasantly removed from the West End crowds.
We'll visit a well-known Soho cheese shop, famous for its carefully selected British cheeses and its role in supporting traditional producers across the UK.
One block, two legends—Hendrix and Mozart. This is where we crack open Soho’s wild history and set the tone for the coolest neighborhood in London.
This spot is pure London—charming, chaotic, and packed with history. Seven streets collide here, just like the flavors we’re about to taste. It’s the perfect place to start a food adventure rooted in connection.
Near Soho Square, the tour includes a dedicated stop to celebrate British cuisine. Premium tour: A stylish British bistro rooted in farm-to-table tradition — think Barbour jackets, seasonal game meats, and a glass of wine from their own Sussex vineyard. Classic tour: A proper serving of traditional fish and chips, a cornerstone of London’s culinary culture.
This is true Indian street food—bold, soulful, and layered with spice. From coastal curries to surprise chaat bombs, every bite tells a different story of India’s vibrant food culture.
Bowie. The Stones. The Who. But also punk, protest, queer pride, and wild fashion. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, Soho wasn’t just cool—it was the epicenter of counterculture. Soho doesn’t just host culture—it makes it.
It’s loud, layered, and full of secrets—just like Soho itself. This mural is a love letter to the neighborhood’s misfits, icons, and endless spirit. Blink, and you’ll miss a dozen stories.
Enjoy a modern take on Taiwanese-style buns, known for their soft, fluffy texture and bold flavors. Featured in the Michelin Guide, it highlights one of London’s most celebrated food spots, where traditional techniques meet contemporary creativity
A true independent pub — no chains, just character. The tour concludes in a cozy local pub that celebrates British drinking and dessert culture. Premium tour: A chocolate tasting from an award-winning chocolatier, paired with a beer enjoyed at the pub. Classic tour: A traditional British pub dessert served at the table.

Will was a fantastic guide. He balanced information and humor with professionalism. The food was varied and excellent.
All of the food was really good. I enjoyed every stop, but especially bao buns. I don’t remember what the Indian granola stuff was called, but I’d love to order again. Will was a great tour guide, very friendly.
Will was an awesome tour guide! Great food and provided lots of info on the area. Highly recommend!!
We had Will as our tour guide. He was great! Highly recommend. The Bao was the best!
A good amount of walking, so do be prepared for that. We loved it but some people are put off by that so if ita going to be an issue, look elsewhere. Ella, our guide, was FABULOUS. She mixed in the history of the foods and the neighborhoods with stories of local goings on and more modern perspectives. The food stops were all delicious and fun, a very wide range of tastes. And who can complain about ending the day with a pint! Fabulous tour, delightful young woman for our guide and i can not recommend enough. So great!
Ella was a vibrant and engaging guide with great insight into the history, culture and pulse of London, as well as a keen appreciation for food.
Great time with great food! Ella personalized it with stories and good history of London.
Wonderful experience. Fergus was an amazing guide. Good mix of history, food, pub, and general guidance of the areas. Stops were delicious and more than enough food! He was also more than happy to make substitutions to accommodate likes and dislikes. He has a genuine passion for what he does and it shows. Highly recommend!!
Ferguson made this one of the highlights of our trip to London. He was incredibly knowledgeable, shared fascinating stories about the city's history and food scene, and chose an outstanding variety of stops. Come hungry—there is so much delicious food! What really set this tour apart was how much he genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience beyond the tour itself. He went above and beyond with personalized recommendations for restaurants, neighborhoods, and things to do during the rest of our stay. It never felt like a scripted tour—it felt like exploring the city with an old friend who knows all the best hidden gems. Highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance to tour with Ferguson, don't hesitate!
Food was amazing, guide was really nice and social, plenty of food and variety to go around. Best tour I’ve been on so far. Brought you around local spots making the whole experience feel authentic. Length was 3 hours which was perfect for the tour. Fergus did an amazing job. Would love to be in another tour with him.
