Interesting AND delicious, it's the whole package - Once again, Jack blew us away with his unparalleled knowledge of history, culture and even some fun personal connections to the area! I got to taste some delicious Beigels and was shocked at the cultural heritage such a dense area of East London has. Bespoke Britain continues to be my go-to and I recommend them to all my friends or family. I am so impressed by not only the vast array of knowledge shared but how easily Jack is able to convey it and create an emotional connection to it. He clearly cares a great deal about the history and architecture of London and his passion is infectious! Definitely went home to do some more googling.

Vibrant tour of food and culture! - This must be my third review now! I truly cannot get enough of the history and knowledge Bespoke Britain shares with anyone who joins! Incredible escapism from the hustle and bustle of London to be taken back in time to the foundations of cultures and communities that make up the vibrant East End I know and love. From bagels to breweries, chapels, synagogues and mosques, Bricklane is a musical heartbeat no one should miss experiencing whether a local or tourist.
Thank you for immersing me in it!

Excellent east London tour! - This guided tour of east London was brilliant!
Very relaxed and informative, Jack is full of interesting facts and stories to tell.
Being a Londoner myself, I found it really interesting and learned a lot about an area I’ve spent lots of time in.
The tour is also perfectly placed to sample some of the best food London has to offer, which also relates to the history of the area.
I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting London, great to explore one of the trendiest areas and learn more about its history.

A fantastic afternoon of facts street art and food. - A small group of my friends (all Londoners) signed up for this as a socially distanced activity.
Jack was charming, both friendly and incredibly knowledgeable ; sharing stories of history, street art and food.
He put us at ease as soon as we arrived with masks and hand sanitizer to hand if we needed and encouraged social distancing.
The tour took roughly and an hour and a half, with lots of stops for delicious treats associated with the history and culture of the area. I particularly liked the bagels.
I would recommend Jack to both tourists and Londoners alike, his knowledge of the area was mind blowing!

Jack was super knowledgable and made the tour fun as well as informative. I especially liked how varied the tour was, from history, to street art, to local cuisine. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. Thanks so much Jack.
