Over centuries past, the East End has been home to French Huguenots, Jewish immigrants, Bengalis and it is now a busy mixed place full of people from all over the world.  It is as famous for its curry houses as the hipsters who have taken over in recent years.

The tour starts at the ultra modern Liverpool Street station and weaves its way into the historic East End lanes and alleyways. The tour includes a potted East End history, highlights traces of the past in the buildings, architecture & street names and shows how it all hangs together.

Unlike other tours this one is small so there are plenty of chances to stop, ask questions and try tasters of authentic food from the communities of the East End from Bengali sweet houses to traditional East End bagel bakeries.

A truly authentic trip to London's Little Italy.  

We start with a visit to St Peter's Italian church hidden in the heart of old Italian Clerkenwell.  After seeing the church, your Italian (well half Italian!) guide Deborah, will tell you about the history of the community, give you a tour of the historic streets and then take you to the Italian Social Club, to join a group of very friendly retired community members for a delicious caffe, antipasti and pastries (included in ticket price!). 

Explore an ornate temple hidden in the quiet streets of east London and enjoy the street life, shops and snacks of London's answer to South India.  The trip will include an exploration & explanation of temple architecture, Hinduism, spirituality, Hindu myths and legends.  

Your guide for this trip is Manju - below - who grew up in the area and can't wait to show off the best of Southern Indian hospitality.  

The trip includes a tour of the local food & saree & jewellery shops, a guide to the spices and secrets of South Indian cookery and will end with an optional visit to Manju's favourite restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious typical South Indian Thali.  

The group is small to allow us to visit smaller places off the beaten track. There are only 15 spots available on each trip & we recommend booking a place on this wonderful tour early.
