At Borough Market, you’ll begin with a classic British breakfast with a twist at a family-run favorite. Then, sink your teeth into a gourmet sausage roll and experience why this humble snack has become a national treasure. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a beloved British dessert that perfectly balances tart and sweet flavors. Of course, no food tour of London is complete without fish & chips, crispy, golden, and served just right.
Between bites, explore Southwark’s hidden gems. See the pub made famous by Bridget Jones’s Diary and hear eerie tales of Clink Street’s infamous prison before crossing the Thames to the City of London. Here, you’ll see a monument to the Great Fire of London, built in memory of the devasting fire in the 17th century and the city’s efforts to rebuild.
Your next tasting stop is another sweet one, delicate meringue confections from a celebrated French pastry chef. You’ll then take a walk to Leadenhall Market, a stunning Victorian arcade with a history dating back to the 14th century. A must-visit for Harry Potter fans, this market is pure movie magic.
Your final stop is an independent wine bar and shop, tucked away in the heart of the City of London. A true city wine bar with an intimate, neighbourhood feel. The carefully curated wine wall features over 200 bottles, each hand-selected by the team, alongside a thoughtful by-the-glass list of more than 20 wines. Guests will try 3 different types of cheese, paired with a wine chosen by the staff.
