Full description
This is our Saturday night out for people who love to eat. Over about three hours you move through three of London's liveliest food halls, mostly indoors and out of the cold, and try six things on the way: street food at Vinegar Yard, a drink and a bite under the railway arches at Flat Iron Square, then dumplings, comfort food and dessert at Seven Dials Market in Covent Garden.
Food markets are what we know best. Food Marketplace lists more than 500 markets across the UK, and this route uses the halls and traders we would send our own friends to.

Common questions
How much food is there?
Each tour page lists the exact number of tastings. They are sample sizes, not a full meal. The Foodie tour has the most (5).
Can I see exactly which dishes I will get?
We list the type of each tasting, not the exact dish, because market stalls change.
Is it suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Tell us when you book. For vegan, halal or gluten-free, tell us at least 48 hours before.
Does the tour end where it starts?
London tours end at a different place. Check the end point on the page. Day trips start and end at the same London station.
Is transport included in the day trips?
Yes. Your price includes return transport from central London in a minibus with a licensed driver — there is no train ticket to buy.
Do we go inside the colleges?
No. We see them from outside. You can visit one in your free time.
Are rides at Winter Wonderland included?
No. Your entry ticket is included. Rides and ice skating are extra and optional.
What if it rains?
The tour runs. We only cancel for official severe weather warnings, and then you get a full refund.
Can I cancel?
Yes, free up to 24 hours before London tours and 72 hours before day trips.
Can I join on my own?
Yes. Group tours are sold per person and solo guests are welcome.
What is the difference between group and private?
On a group tour you join other guests and pay per person. On a private tour only your group comes and you pay one price for up to 6 guests.
Is the car price per person?
No. Private car prices are for the whole vehicle, up to 6 guests, with driver, fuel, parking and road charges included.
What if not enough people book?
Each group tour needs 4 or 5 guests. If we do not reach that, we tell you and you choose a refund or another date.
Are tips expected?
No.
