Looking for a private London food and cocktails tour through the city’s most famous nightlife district? Our Private Twilight Soho VIP Food & Drinks Tour walks Seven Dials, Chinatown, and Soho across 5 stops as the city shifts from afternoon to night, designed exclusively for your group.

Associated with glitz, glamour, decadence, and the sort of dining and drinking delights best enjoyed after dark, this is a celebration of the real Soho — London’s most famous area, and the perfect place to start a globe-spanning food adventure. Your private guide leads you to some of the most exciting restaurants, bars, and markets in Soho, Chinatown, and Seven Dials, helping you uncover fusion flavours in local favourites, hidden gems, and places hiding in plain sight. Divine dishes, 4 killer cocktails, rock and roll landmarks, and stories from Soho’s dark past — including the venues that shaped global music and the eclectic spaces (a former banana warehouse turned culinary startup hotbed among them) that define Soho today.

Note: due to the scandalous history and alcoholic beverages, this tour is for adults only — ages 18+. For a family-friendly Soho experience, contact us and we’ll build a private custom tour.

What Makes Soho Special

Bankside, home to the legendary Borough Market, is one of London’s oldest and most celebrated food destinations. Nestled along the south bank of the Thames in the shadow of the Shard, this historic area has been a trading hub for over a thousand years — and today, its market remains a mecca for food lovers from around the world.

Food at Borough Market and its surrounding streets showcases the very best of British produce alongside international flavors. From creamy British cheeses and flaky sausage rolls to rich sticky toffee pudding and artisanal bread, the market brings together farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and chefs who are passionate about quality. The neighborhood’s centuries of history, from Shakespeare’s Globe to the cobbled lanes leading from the Thames, create a setting where great food and great stories go hand in hand.

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

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

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.

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

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.
