Overview

This tour is about getting you way off the beaten track and going where the locals go. Over three hours we visit six very different stops and two markets, one hidden away and one you can't miss. From Venezuelan Arepa's to visiting a hidden away distillery to try a gin & tonic, both found underneath the arches of the London Bridge train station, delicious pasta made right in front of your eyes by the incredible chefs at Flour & Grape, artisanal cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy, oysters from Richard Howard's Oyster bar (8 generations and still carrying the torch of the Howard name) and depending on the day, Iraqi dumplings from Juma or succulent sausage rolls from Ginger Pig, both found right in the centre of Borough Market. We will view into what London's old warehouses and docklands used to look like along the River Thames, when London was at the centre of global commerce and walk down the very trendy Bermondsey area and learn about its fascinating past in the Leather, Wool & Hide trade.

Charles Dicken's got a lot of inspiration from around this area especially south of the river just by Shad Thames and Butlers Wharf. His most notable book being 'Oliver Twist'. When you join us on the tour you'll understand why straight away.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Maltby Street Market, 41 Maltby Street Maltby Street, London SE1 3PA England

A very hidden away market only open on the weekends and tucked away underneath the railway arches of the London Bridge mainline train station. All the locals come here so a real treat to show you somewhere a little bit secret.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Borough Market, 8 Southwark Street, London SE1 1TL England

London's oldest 'still running' fruit & vegetable market + a very modern street food scene which is conjoined to the market. Old & new work hand in hand here. The atmosphere here is always electric and you can't not visit London and not experience Borough Market.

Stop At: Golden Hinde, St. Mary Overies Dock Cathedral Street Cathedral St., London SE1 9DE England

Here we will finish right in front of the famous Golden Hinde galleon. Francis Drake sailed this boat against the Spanish Armada and he was also the second captain to circumnavigate this boat around the Globe. This is where we will finish the tour.

    Had a wonderful day visiting places we would not have thought off. Eddie was very knowledgeable of the area history making it a wonderful experience. Along with a great choice of food stops this tour did not disappoint. Being only a very small group ( 3 including my wife and me) the tour seemed very personal and it was great to get to know Eddie and the lovely lady who was with us. If you ever looking to do something slightly different to the norm touristy stuff then do this. Thanks for the memories Eddie

    Such a great tour, it was a bit rainy but Eddie cheered myself and the others up with his charm and knowledge of the area. Great history told with flair and the places we visited, I so enjoyed it. I will be heading back to the area to visit more of the places. Sooo much fun. Thanks Eddie, I'll be recommending you to all my family and friends who visit London.

    A really enjoyable, interesting and entertaining tour of this part of London with so much history and really delicious food. Eddie was so helpful, engaging and full of stories - and he knows where to go if you want to experience some delicacies. A great 3 hours - have already recommended Walk Eat Talk Eat to some friends.

    Eddie is fantastic! He’s so knowledgeable about the history of the area and took us to some delicious places to eat and drink. Even my picky teenagers raved about the food and Eddie earned their vote as ‘top tour guide’ across all the tours we took. I loved getting off the tourist track and seeing where real Londoners go. Highly recommend!
