Discover the very best of Borough Market and beyond on this immersive guided food tour. Skip the overwhelm and dive straight into London’s top bites—from award-winning sausage rolls to perfectly crispy fish & chips—while exploring two of the city’s most historic markets and uncovering stories behind its most famous landmarks.


Borough Market is a haven for food lovers, but with so many tempting options, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. Let your expert guide lead the way, taking you to the market’s standout vendors and sharing its rich 1,000-year history as you go.

Begin your experience with a reimagined British breakfast at a beloved local spot.

As you eat your way through the market, you’ll also explore the hidden corners of Southwark—like a riverside pub made famous by Bridget Jones’s Diary and Clink Street, once home to one of the city’s oldest prisons.

Cross the Thames into the historic heart of the City of London, where your guide will reveal centuries-old landmarks, including the Monument to the Great Fire of London. Indulge in a final sweet treat from a master French pastry chef before stepping into the stunning Leadenhall Market—a Victorian-era arcade and film location for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Your adventure ends in a tucked-away wine bar, where an expert sommelier will guide you through a private wine and cheese tasting—an elegant finale to a day of food, history, and discovery.
