Full description

Our holiday tour begins at St. John Bakery where we’ll try their delicious doughnuts to get the tour started off right. From there, we’ll walk up Borough High Street stopping along the way to talk a bit about history, restaurants, pubs, and anything else we feel like chatting about. Our second stop is right near Borough Market, one of the oldest public markets in London, where we’ll sample some more amazing donuts. Make sure you pace yourself - it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Our third stop is actually in Borough Market itself where you’ll sample some absolutely stunning doughnuts that are made fresh every day in their pastry school. Borough Market will be all dressed up for the holidays, so bring your cameras. And our last and final stop at Crosstown Doughnuts will give you a jaw dropping view of Tower Bridge that you have to see to believe. We’re so excited to get this tour started and we hope you can join us!

Fantastic! Loved our guide Athina. She had the coolest facts about the market and city. So many things we didn’t know. The four donut stops were very unique. We enjoyed trying places we never would have thought of, and found two favorites that we will return to. My only criticism is not being allowed to get drinks after the first stop. Donuts and some kind of drink.. milk, coffee, tea, etc belong together. We found ourselves thirsty at each spot.
