Getting started
Meet your guide at the statue of Captain John Smith outside St Mary-le-Bow Church, just a short walk from St Paul’s Tube Station. Look out for your guide wearing a purple Eating Europe bag so they’re easy to spot!
What to expect

Literary & cultural landmarks: Walk in the footsteps of Shakespeare, Dickens, and even Harry Potter as you explore the streets that inspired some of the world’s greatest stories.
Roman ruins & medieval markets: Uncover London’s roots, from ancient Roman walls to bustling medieval markets. Learn how the spice and sugar trades shaped the city (and its food).
