Highlights
Master the great scone debate at Cheeky Scone—is it “scone” like “cone” or “gone”? 🤔
Taste an authentic sausage roll at The Notting Hill Bakery on bustling Portobello Road Market, where Sally Clarke made her legendary mark.
Discover Indian-spiced continental pastries—because even traditional British pastries need a plot twist sometimes.
Speaking of plot twists, navigate the same streets where Hugh Grant bumped into Julia Roberts, while discovering bakeries that locals actually frequent 🥐
Stand outside the famous blue door (some doors are worth queuing for) while enjoying a Coronation Chicken sandwich from a hidden gem 💎
End at a charming French bakery that transforms into a renowned Indian restaurant by evening (only in London, eh?).
Tour Description
This unique London tour connects 5 authentic bakeries with famous movie locations in a 2-hour small group experience. From traditional scones and sausage rolls to innovative fusion pastries, each stop reveals how centuries of immigration have transformed British baking culture around Portobello Road Market.
Between bites, explore the neighborhood’s musical and literary connections, from Bob Marley to George Orwell, and architectural beauty of the pastel streets which make every corner Instagram-worthy. Your local guide will reveal the stories behind the area’s transformation from working-class enclave to bohemian haven, while ensuring you taste the best of both traditional and contemporary London baking.
Note: itinerary & tastings subject to change due to seasonal availability, individual closings or local holidays.

"What a lovely morning spent with Josh. We tried scones, sausage roll, some very creative fusion pastries and a coronation chicken sandwich before ending with a fantastic tart. The history kept our attention and I’ll certainly be revisiting some of the bakeries we spent time at. Thank you!

Great food, great experience, great guide! Max was awesome. We had a great time, learned a lot, and went to places we would not have found on our own. I particularly liked the George and Vulture!

Excellent. Definitely do it. Excellent. Pip our guide was friendly and kind. Genuinely interested and chatted with the group. The group was small and everyone was kind and chatty. The tour itself was wonderful, Pip knew so much about the area and its history and food. The food and drinks were amazing, so much and a good variety. We went to places I would never have found or known to go to, even having been to London many times like I have. Would def recommend. We loved it.

Delicious and Informative I had “Great Expectations” about this tour and our guide, Pip, did not disappoint. We visited some storied London establishments as well as a fairly new spot with a side of history along the way. Each dish and drink was well explained and there were a LOT of them. If you’re on the fence about taking another food tour, just do it, and maybe we’re your stretchy pants : )

Lauren
My grandparents grew up in the east end, so although I was born in Essex , my roots are here
Well worth heading to a local pub- my favourite is The Hemingford Arms, where you can eat delicious Thai food whilst listening a traditional Irish music session
Rather than paying to just go up The Shard, book a table at the bar there instead- cocktails and a view!
Josh
Born in Worcester, but moved to London in 2013
Max’s Sandwich Shop In Crouch Hill have the best sandwiches!
For a Sunday roast, head out of Zone 1 and go to pubs where the locals live
Cara
Born and raised in Bath but living in London since 2013
I absolutely love the Southbank, wandering along and ending up in borough market for a doughnut
Don't be affraid to get lost, you never know what you might find!
Kaffe
I grew up just North from London but have been an official Londoner since 2010
My favourite pub in London is called the Mayflower, it's a lovely walk along the south bank of the Thames from Tower Bridge. Enjoy a nice pint overlooking the river and pretend you're a pirate
Pick a neighbourhood a bit further out, head there and then just wander around. I guarantee you'll stumble on something great
Katie
Grew up on a farm in Somerset but now loving the big city life.
I love to go to Mildred's in Soho for fresh and super tasty vegetarian cuisine and then finishing off with a glass of bubbly.
Go to Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew to lose yourself in nature. If you want a fun night out then head to Soho Theatre to see some of the best comedians.
Niall
I was born in Hull, Yorkshire but moved to London in 2011
Favourite place to eat is The Oystermen in Covent Garden, you can't go wrong there. Always a good spread. Although St. John's bakery in London Bridge is a close second
Near Tower Hill Station, there's a hidden gem of a pub called The Dickens Inn. Great drinks, pub food and looks beautiful. Sunday Roast, always a good shout. You're right by the harbour too. Not too far from the Tower of London
Max
I was born and raised in St Albans, Hertfordshire, but now living in the east end of London
My favourite place to eat in London is Yardsale Pizza, Hoxton
If you're on a night out late in Soho, go to Garlic and Shots - you will not regret it
Elle
I'm from the West Country, in Bristol, but I'm afraid I don't have the accent!
Sunday Brunch at Megan's is the tastiest & the staff are always so lovely.
Go to see as many theatre shows as you possibly can - The Moulin Rouge at the Vaults in London Bridge is not to be missed. Also, the Stairway to Heaven is the best bar in London.
Paddy
I'm from Scarborough in North Yorkshire but have lived in Borough for over a year, making me a certified local!
The India Club just off the Strand is outrageously good for the price and their dosas will make your heart sing
Follow the river! Rent a bike or get on a TFL boat and you can explore the city without a single traffic jam.
Madeline
I am from Essex - just East of East london
my favourite restaurant in London is six by Nico because I’m so indecisive I couldn’t possibly decide on one meal, I’d rather settle with the 6 individual courses that they serve to you at the 6 by Nico experience
you cannot beat the atmosphere at Camden market, grab some food and take a browse at the interesting stalls, then escape the wildness and go for a stroll the the beautiful neighbouring village of primrose hill
Thomas
Born and raised in Leeds up North, but have lived in London for well over a decade - pretty much all over the city!
Oooh, I’m a sucker for Street Food - get yourself to a Street Feast or Mercato Metropolitano for an abundance of vendors, refined menus, and tasty dishes.
Central London is beautiful, but if you need to temper your city break with some nature; head to Richmond Park in South West London and hang out with some wild deer - you’ll forget you’re even in the city.
David
Born and raised in South-East London, I've been tummy-rumbling my way around the city my whole life, and I fall in love with it more every year
London is strung through with hidden gems - just stroll off from the main drag and follow that beautiful nose of yours. But if you're lost? Try wine and cheese in the quintessential Le Beaujolais, or dine in the magic, bohemian world of Circolo Popolare
Laine
From South East London and have eaten my way through most neighbours here in my time!
Head to any of the Eat Tokyo branches around London for a delicious bento box and tofu!
You can walk within Tower Bridge and look beneath your feet at the traffic passing below - it’s affordable, thrilling and you get a great view of the winding Thames.
