Best food tour - This is a fantastic introduction to the East End and British food. What better way to learn about the history and culture of a country? Lauren expertly explained and shared interesting information with a vibrancy that had all of us engaged. There was a wide range of good and plenty of it. Come hungry for a great tour.

Fantastic tour! Highly recommend. - Our guide, Roisin, was amazing! She was full of great facts and very inviting. We liked the eclectic choices of food we ate, although not all of them were "homeruns". Beigels and Apple Crumble were the highlights. Getting a great sense of history of the neighborhood was also a highlight.
