Master the great scone debate at Cheeky Scone—is it “scone” like “cone” or “gone”? 🤔
Taste an authentic beef and ale pie at The Notting Hill Bakery on bustling Portobello Road Market, where Sally Clarke made her legendary mark.
Discover Indian-spiced continental pastries—because even traditional British pastries need a plot twist sometimes.
Speaking of plot twists, navigate the same streets where Hugh Grant bumped into Julia Roberts, while discovering bakeries that locals actually frequent 🥐
Stand outside the famous blue door (some doors are worth queuing for) while enjoying a Coronation Chicken sandwich from a hidden gem 💎
End at a charming French bakery that transforms into a renowned Indian restaurant by evening (only in London, eh?).
Tour Description
This unique London tour connects 5 authentic bakeries with famous movie locations in a 2-hour small group experience.
From traditional scones and pies to innovative fusion pastries, each stop reveals how centuries of immigration have transformed British baking culture around Portobello Road Market.
Between bites, explore the neighborhood’s musical and literary connections, from Bob Marley to George Orwell, and architectural beauty of the pastel streets which make every corner Instagram-worthy.

What Makes the Notting Hill Special
Notting Hill captivates with its pastel-colored townhouses, leafy garden squares, and an effortlessly chic atmosphere that feels worlds away from central London’s rush.
The neighborhood is best known for Portobello Road Market, where antique stalls, vintage finds, and street food vendors create a vibrant weekend ritual. The food scene here is as eclectic as its residents — from cozy gastropubs and independent bakeries to Caribbean-inspired eateries that reflect the area’s rich Afro-Caribbean heritage and the legacy of the famous Notting Hill Carnival. Whether it’s a perfectly crafted flat white at a corner café or a plate of jerk chicken from a local favorite, Notting Hill delivers a relaxed yet refined food experience wrapped in one of London’s most photogenic settings.

Chris was a great guide for our first food tour in London. He blended history with fun and took our family of 4 to spectacular spots throughout the City of London. We all loved the Steak and ale pie and the Dicken’s pub while ending in Leadenhall market- a sweet and delicious ending! We highly recommend!

Excellent baking food tour I had a wonderful time with Izaak on this daytime tour. Issak is an extremely knowledgeable and fun guide who not only informed us about the food but also about the Notting Hill area itself. And the food was wonderful, especially the scone! I really enjoyed myself.

Lauren
My grandparents grew up in the east end, so although I was born in Essex , my roots are here
Well worth heading to a local pub- my favourite is The Hemingford Arms, where you can eat delicious Thai food whilst listening a traditional Irish music session
Rather than paying to just go up The Shard, book a table at the bar there instead- cocktails and a view!
Josh
Born in Worcester, but moved to London in 2013
Max’s Sandwich Shop In Crouch Hill have the best sandwiches!
For a Sunday roast, head out of Zone 1 and go to pubs where the locals live
Cara
Born and raised in Bath but living in London since 2013
I absolutely love the Southbank, wandering along and ending up in borough market for a doughnut
Don't be affraid to get lost, you never know what you might find!
Kaffe
I grew up just North from London but have been an official Londoner since 2010
My favourite pub in London is called the Mayflower, it's a lovely walk along the south bank of the Thames from Tower Bridge. Enjoy a nice pint overlooking the river and pretend you're a pirate
Pick a neighbourhood a bit further out, head there and then just wander around. I guarantee you'll stumble on something great
Katie
Grew up on a farm in Somerset but now loving the big city life.
I love to go to Mildred's in Soho for fresh and super tasty vegetarian cuisine and then finishing off with a glass of bubbly.
Go to Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew to lose yourself in nature. If you want a fun night out then head to Soho Theatre to see some of the best comedians.
Niall
I was born in Hull, Yorkshire but moved to London in 2011
Favourite place to eat is The Oystermen in Covent Garden, you can't go wrong there. Always a good spread. Although St. John's bakery in London Bridge is a close second
Near Tower Hill Station, there's a hidden gem of a pub called The Dickens Inn. Great drinks, pub food and looks beautiful. Sunday Roast, always a good shout. You're right by the harbour too. Not too far from the Tower of London
Max
I was born and raised in St Albans, Hertfordshire, but now living in the east end of London
My favourite place to eat in London is Yardsale Pizza, Hoxton
If you're on a night out late in Soho, go to Garlic and Shots - you will not regret it
Elle
I'm from the West Country, in Bristol, but I'm afraid I don't have the accent!
Sunday Brunch at Megan's is the tastiest & the staff are always so lovely.
Go to see as many theatre shows as you possibly can - The Moulin Rouge at the Vaults in London Bridge is not to be missed. Also, the Stairway to Heaven is the best bar in London.
Paddy
I'm from Scarborough in North Yorkshire but have lived in Borough for over a year, making me a certified local!
The India Club just off the Strand is outrageously good for the price and their dosas will make your heart sing
Follow the river! Rent a bike or get on a TFL boat and you can explore the city without a single traffic jam.
Madeline
I am from Essex - just East of East london
my favourite restaurant in London is six by Nico because I’m so indecisive I couldn’t possibly decide on one meal, I’d rather settle with the 6 individual courses that they serve to you at the 6 by Nico experience
you cannot beat the atmosphere at Camden market, grab some food and take a browse at the interesting stalls, then escape the wildness and go for a stroll the the beautiful neighbouring village of primrose hill
Thomas
Born and raised in Leeds up North, but have lived in London for well over a decade - pretty much all over the city!
Oooh, I’m a sucker for Street Food - get yourself to a Street Feast or Mercato Metropolitano for an abundance of vendors, refined menus, and tasty dishes.
Central London is beautiful, but if you need to temper your city break with some nature; head to Richmond Park in South West London and hang out with some wild deer - you’ll forget you’re even in the city.
David
Born and raised in South-East London, I've been tummy-rumbling my way around the city my whole life, and I fall in love with it more every year
London is strung through with hidden gems - just stroll off from the main drag and follow that beautiful nose of yours. But if you're lost? Try wine and cheese in the quintessential Le Beaujolais, or dine in the magic, bohemian world of Circolo Popolare
Laine
From South East London and have eaten my way through most neighbours here in my time!
Head to any of the Eat Tokyo branches around London for a delicious bento box and tofu!
You can walk within Tower Bridge and look beneath your feet at the traffic passing below - it’s affordable, thrilling and you get a great view of the winding Thames.
