Take an edible history tour - an adventure through the hidden food markets of London.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Uncover the stories of Sarson’s vinegar, Gordon’s gin and Peek Freans biscuits. This meander will take you through markets like Spa Terminus, which is only open to the public one day a week. As you peer into the railway arches, you will realise that this is a foodies idea of heaven. Maltby Street market is only a short walk away, so get ready to experience new flavours and rediscover old ones. Artisanal cheeses, jams, bread to die for - your tastes buds are in for a serious treat. If you haven’t been to the area before you are in for a surprise. Locals are there from the early morning stocking up on organics and epicurean delights.
Of course, this tour goes beyond bite and slice, to reveal the fascinating history behind these vibrant areas and their ties to food. This is a two-hour walk on a Saturday morning, starting at Bermondsey station. Maximum eight people. Weekend shopping sorted.
