Experience

Brick Lane is a foodie’s dream. With sweet treats from across the world, you’ll be truly spoilt in this tour of one of London’s most famous lanes. Start by sampling one of the city’s best doughnuts, and then indulge yourself at one of London’s greatest beigel shops. A residential area of London historically associated with several groups of immigrants over the years, this sweet tour is not only a delight on the tastes buds but a walk through the kind of history that makes London, well, London! Visit Beigel Bake, an icon of the East End and sample traditional Jewish recipes, the same recipes brought over in the late 1880’s from Eastern Europe. Eat Bengali treats and see the impact of the Bengali immigration on the very makeup of Brick Lane. This is an area of home grown flavors and local shops serving the best sweets in the city. Still have room for more? Enjoy decadent West African chocolates, and bubble-based sugary treats from Taiwan. Finish your tour in the historic Old Spitalfields Market and find something to bring home with you!
