*NEW MARKETS FOR SUMMER 2014!*

We're diving into the cutting edge of London's food scene. The place where new traders try their thing, where future superstar chefs are born. We're visiting two of London's most exciting breakfast markets.

There's a story behind each one of them. We start under the railway arches, sampling fine seafood, London's greatest pastrami sandwich, the city's tastiest doughnut and a waffle to make you cry with joy.

Then we jump in a taxi (included in the price of the tour) to a market that just started up a few weeks ago, but is already attracting some of London's most talked-about street food traders. We'll have lunch by the canal with the tasty treats we find here.

The tour ends with a drink at London's oldest riverside pub - a creaking historic wooden building overlooking the River Thames.

We each pay for our own food - but included in the price is the taxi ride between the two markets, a drink at the pub and a dessert to share (it's the best sweet treat you'll eat in London - trust me!).

Before we finish, I'll give you advice on where else to visit - from flower markets to antiques.

Sakhr was a great tour guide! He was knowlegable about the neighborhood, the market, and its vendors. Being on the tour by myself, he was also a nice friend to talk to for the morning. We had a great time and ate some great food! He also gave me great suggestions for the rest of my day and my vacation.

I really enjoyed my tour with Sakhr. To describe him I’d say he is a passionate foodie who stays on the cutting edge of the London culinary scene seeking out the best of the best. He showed me an impeccably curated and tasty view of London that I had no idea existed. For example, instead of checking out Borough Market – a destination packed with tourists that you’ll find in every guidebook - he showed me a new burgeoning market just around the corner. The market was an eclectic mix of top-notch street food that blew me away. From silky coffee beverages and fresh-out-of-the-oven donuts to sashimi-like smoked salmon, fresh lobster and Cornish beef cooked over an open flame and gourmet cocktails, I was in heaven. And I just loved how it seemed that I was the only non-Londoner there. Beyond being my own personal ambassador to the best and surprisingly inexpensive food in London, Sakhr provided a wealth of information about the city. He also happens to be a really great guy. I highly recommend his tours.
