    london food tours

    Inspired by the world of flavours found in Britain, many local Brits are creating their own spectacular eateries, where they can show off their local ingredients, local dishes, and British culinary skills. The movement to keep ingredients sustainable and local is taking over Britain and this tour aims to explore the “Modern Tastes of Britain” from the farmers in the market to the shops to the actual locales that are coming up with these fabulous new gastronomic concepts.

    BRITISH FOOD – TAKING FLAVOURS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Britain hasn’t always had the best reputation for gourmet cooking. Aside from Tea, Beer and Fish & Chips, many visitors to London don’t even know what to consider “British Food”! For many years, Brits themselves haven’t really fussed too much about taking a strong interest in “Traditional” or “Local” food trends like other countries around the world. As a result, no other country welcomes international food with the enthusiasm of Great Britain. Everywhere you look, you can see rich varieties of world flavours – Britain truly has it all. However, FOOD has become one of the biggest trends in the UK – changing the entire culinary scene.

As much as Brits enjoy eating the flavours of the world, a new wave of fabulous restaurants are opening with incredible concepts – and they are 100% BRITISH! The international influence in food has led to an incredible new-found British interest in creating their own culinary fusions, causing many foodies to take traditional international recipes to the next level with local flare.  On this tour, you will discover this local flare on a number of levels – starting in the markets and finishing in one of London’s most incredible British chocolate shops.

DISCOVER THE EAST END

The East End is one of London’s most fascinating areas. With a long history of overpopulation, immigrants and poverty.

The East End has been known since the 19th Century as one of Britain’s poorest areas. After World War II, much of the neighbourhood was bombed and many people were relocated. A consistent wave of re-building has powered the area for a few decades now. Despite new buildings and many large companies that are now located in the East End, there is still a very alternative subculture that thrives in this eclectic area, where street art is a way of life and hipsters roam the streets.

Despite the recent move towards a slight degree of gentrification, the East End is still full of old, run-down streets that capture an eerie reminiscence of days past. This tour was designed to show the different faces of the East End and give you a good idea of what has changed and has remained the same over time.

Eating in London: Myth Busting

Posted on by London Food Lovers

Now is the time to forget about anything negative you might have ever heard regarding eating in London. Unlike the bad reputation that once revolved British culinary offerings, the reality that now exists in London is much different. It has broken out of its old, out-dated mould to emerge on the forefront of some of the best, trend-setting foods in the world.

London offers an array of International foods – so broad that it can even be intimidating! Visitors to London can try and “eat” their way around the city, but it would take a lot of dedication, time and money to try and sample it all. One of the most favourite activities that Londoners enjoy is eating out and trying new cuisines. New restaurants are opening on a regular basis featuring unique, new twists to tantalize and delight their diners! Because of the amount of places opening up, the competition is steep, so each one is working hard to provide something truly unique and interesting, to win new clientele and keep regular customers always on their toes. London food tours also emerge across London, allowing outsiders and locals to try many of the wonderful dishes this city has to offer.

One of the best places to try new International cuisines when eating in London is in Soho. It has a history of being known as a trendsetting neighbourhood where most restauranteurs try to open their first restaurant. If it’s a hit in Soho, then usually they will open up more of them in other places in London. It is truly sink or swim, and winning over the clientele of Soho, means you can win over clientele in other places. One perfect example of this is Kua’aina Burger. The first Kua’aina Burger to open up in all of Europe, opened in 2011 on Foubert’s Court. Being near the famously commercial Carnaby street and tucked away in a tiny corner, it isn’t the easiest place to find and one of those places that you would probably think to walk by without going in. However due to how amazing their food is and the quality behind every dish they make, they are a hit in Soho and have now opened up a second location on Googe Street. It is just one of the many success stories that come out of Soho. Kua’aina Burger is one of the favourite stops at the London food tour organized by London Food Lovers

Londoners eating in London are also really gaga for markets and street foods. Usually at lunch time, most people prefer to get out of the office and get some fresh street food made for them fresh, instead of bringing lunch from home. London offers a wide variety of markets where you can get fresh food made right in front of you – from Borough Market to Rupert Street Market, there is no lack of locations to try street foods. There are even a few nighttime markets, where people can enjoy a variety of street foods for dinner and not just for lunch! The majority of the foods in the markets are also international – from Thai to Italian to Ethiopian. For foodies and non-foodies alike, London has emerged from its old, culinary boring cocoon and spread her beautifully colorful wings as one of the richest cities in International cuisine in the world.
