You’ll be taken through markets, bakeries, shops, restaurants and pubs as local guides showcase the culinary traditions which have helped shape this distinctive part of the city.
Twilight Solo Food Tour
Soho offers up plenty of great sights and tastes, as those who take part in the Twilight Soho Food Tour know very well. When most people think of Soho, they imagine the thriving atmosphere and vivid nightlife – and while this foodie tour acknowledges all of this, it takes you far away from the usual tourist traps and instead stays close to the ‘authentic’ Soho experience. The international influences found in cuisine here are a major focal point, with Spanish dishes, Chinese food and much more.
