Considering that a good 60 percent of my readers are from the USA and around the world so I am always glad to share more about London’s hidden gems. Also for those from the UK visiting London. When I travel, as much as I want to see all the popular tourist places, I want to see where the locals hang out, where they eat and where they just chill out. So for this post forget about the London Eye, forget the Shard, Tower Bridge or St Pauls as it’s all about London Food Tours.
I am taking you on a tour of East London. Some time ago I shared with you a post about East London’s Street Art Tour. East London boasts the largest number of artists and art organisation living and working in any capital city in the world. So we are checking out where all the cool kids hang out. Did I also mention there is going to be food?

The tour also stopped at the UK’s number one fish and chip shop; Poppies. You have to visit this place to understand why they are number one. Then making our way to the pub for some real ale and cider after stopping by Benjamin Truman’s historical home.
Then stopping by for a tasting of London’s best curry house; Aladin and cheese shop that has me thinking twice about buying rubbery cheese from the supermarket and instead going for specialist in good quality cheese. Moving on to Pizza East on Bethnal Green Road for desert and tea, a wholesomely loft-conversion style decor that served up a tasty salted caramel tart with ice cream.

soooo hungry! I have lived in London for 5 years and the food scene is indeed amazing! Thanks for sharing
A tour about food? Count me in, sounds delicious!!!! ๐
Sounds like a great tour, but didn't they introduce you to jellied eels?!!!
Oh my goodness, I think I would have passed if there was any of that on the tour. *barf*
feasting is my favorite way to tour through cities! And that fish n chips looks amazing.
The best I have ever tasted. I am not a fun of fish n chips but I was pleasantly surprised with this one as it was light and fluffy and not oily at all.
Sounds and looks really delicious, made me quite hungry, now I need to check what my fridge has to offer ๐
awesome post <3 I definetely need to get back to London for another go ๐
Yes you definitely need to give it a few more goes as once, twice and thrice are never really enough.
Fantastic post! Albeit another one that makes me pine for home… Do you know what though, the next time someone over here tells me English food is rubbish, I am going to send them this!! ๐ PS. Have a great time in Israel! ๐
Definitely send them over. They will never repeat those words once again with tour around east London.
I don't know much about East London, but I have seen Eastenders a few times and I never saw them eating food like that. Looks great!
Oh dear, if that's the impression you have of East London then we must wipe out that memory and renew it with a tour in the real Eastend of London ๐
Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor! I love that! I love the quirky architecture! Stunning photo essay, great job!
Thanks Michael.
I just enjoy seeing sites that are off the tourist path. Great photos!
Thank you Angela ๐
Ooh I would love to do a food tour! Ok seriously I need to one day try the famous fish and chips in London. I have the expectation it's going to change my life once I eat it from all the raves and amazing reviews I hear haha
