Small Group East End Market & Pub Tour

Join us as we weave through the stalls and history of three of our most famous markets. You’ll hear the stories, learn about the origins and have the chance to load yourself down with great food, unique mementos and even a beer if you fancy it (please note that food and drinks are not included in the tour price).

We’ll take you to Middlesex Street Market (Petticoat Lane) and Spitalfields Market, where you’ll be wowed by the variety of stalls and characters (don’t worry, we’ll point out the best ones). You’ll learn the history of two historic Victorian pubs and get the chance to have a drink in what was quite possibly Jack the Ripper’s local pub. You’ll have the chance to purchase food or drinks along the way as we give you the history and background of these eclectic and timeless landmarks.

Next up, we’ll wander London’s famous historic Jewish quarter before ending with an exploration of the famous Brick Lane vintage and food markets. Brick Lane has become famous for its ethnic food stalls, but there is so much more to see here. You won’t want to miss the chance to dive into these historic markets and pubs that are steeped in the very culture of London life.

This tour will let you see a side of the city often ignored; over the years it has transformed from market gardens and open fields, to slums and workshops to its position now as one of the trendiest parts of town.

No other part of London combines the ancient and the modern quite like the East End, and no other part has been home to such a variety of cultures over the years. Be prepared to have a taste of the latest international culinary trends one minute, then turn a corner and feel like you suddenly stepped back 300 years the next.
