Highlights
  • Rivington Street - From learning about parts of Victorian London that haven’t been touched for over a hundred years to the very new & electric Brick lane. From seeing all the different cuisines and cultures mixing together to then stop and talk about the old Truman’s brewery, which dates back to the mid-1600s and was once the largest brewery in the world.

Your three-hour tour will begin near Old Street Station, whetting your appetite with craft beer and sweet treats from an artisan doughnutry. Then you’ll be whisked away to sampling kosher bagels and local real ale or wine. We will explore the bustling Spitalfields market and also try some succulent morcilla or a pick from a selection of Basque pintxos from Sagardi. Further down the lane we go we will taste some delicious homemade pakora / bhaji or samosa from one of the oldest Bangladeshi sweet shops on Brick lane.
At the end of the tour, you’ll have the full flavour of the East end - served with a spicy side helping of history along the way.

What's Included
  • Unlimited alcohol including craft beer, real ale, and wine.
  • A variety of food options from snacks to hearty portions.
  • Multiple stops each offering different sizes of meals.
Additional Information

Food and drink walking tours in London are essential. The East London food tour by Walk Eat Talk Eat was the pioneer in the district. We have expanded our reach to cover Southern and Western London as well.

Through countless tours, we’ve catered to thousands of clients, shared innumerable stories, and are on the verge of serving our 3000th salt beef bagel.

Our East End Tour runs throughout the week, while our Hidden Gems and Portobello Tales tours take place over the weekends.

Why choose East London? The food is phenomenal, rich history pervades the area, and our tour guides, having lived there, possess an extensive knowledge of the region and delight in revealing their favourite spots.

Having made London my home for over a decade, the city continues to astound me with its endless surprises both ancient and modern. What sets us apart is our relentless pursuit of tasting new cuisines and uncovering forgotten parts of London’s history, even in our downtime, all to enrich your experience.

An original, informative and tasty tour of East London. - An original and informative walking tour of the East End coupled with tasting a variety of food from different countries and cultures across the world. There were just 4 of us on the tour and Eddie was both informative and entertaining in his presentation of the tour.

Fantastic! - 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!

What a wonderful way to spend a day in London! - 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.

Brick Lane and Spitalfields food tour - 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!👏👏👏👏

Locals Love East End Food Tour - Amazing! - 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!

A fantastic time exploring and eating in East London. A must do! - 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.
