Additional Information

We’ll kick off our festive trip at St. John Bakery, delighting in their scrumptious doughnuts. Following that, a stroll up Borough High Street is in order, pausing sporadically to discuss the local history, eateries, brewpubs, and anything else that sparks our interest. Close to Borough Market, our second halt and one of the oldest public markets in London, we’ll indulge in more delicious donuts. Keep in mind the requirement to regulate yourself; remember, it’s a marathon, not a race.

Our subsequent halt is actually inside Borough Market, where you’ll get an opportunity to taste some absolutely breathtaking doughnuts that are freshly baked daily in their pastry school. You’ll find Borough Market splendidly adorned for the holiday season, don’t forget your cameras.

The grand finale of our journey happens at Crosstown Doughnuts, where you’ll get a spectacular view of the Tower Bridge - one so beautiful, it must be seen to be truly appreciated. We’re eagerly anticipating the commencement of this tour and we hope you’re able to be a part of it!

Mini-city tour with a side of doughnuts - As fun as it sounds. Our man, Oscar, was all too happy too lead us around the Borough Market area - pointing out building of historical significance as well as pubs, restaurants and other come-back-and-see-them spots. Of course there were doughnuts. Thankfully, Oscar brought each of us a bag to collect our half-eaten stash so we wouldn’t have a sugar-seizure mid-tour. The doughnuts themselves were a varied lot. From the traditional to the wild. And all were worth sampling, but of course we had our favorites. Our tea stop was a breath of perfumed air. All in all, an excellent entree to the food and drink scene around Borough Market. And enough walking to keep us from feeling guilty about the indulging.

Great way to see London - This was the most fun way to see some of the major areas in London. It was a great way to keep kids engaged as we learned about the history of the area. Oscar was our tour guide and he was amazing! He knew his history, his donuts and all his connections in the market made it even better. Highly recommend.
