How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Eat your way around the sweetest spots in London, where you’ll find family-owned patisseries, bakeries, gelaterias, and chocolatiers waiting to be visited. You’ll join a local London host who shares your sweet tooth to wander through the city and gain a feel for the indulgent flavors of London's various communities and neighborhoods - a practical approach is best.
Dive straight into tradition and sample some of the best British cakes, patisseries, and traditional favorites (think fresh cream scones and Bakewell tarts). For something a tad more refreshing, you could make a beeline for an artisan gelateria, where you can sample delicious sorbet, creamy chocolate, or smooth vanilla.
Chocoholic or pastry fan? Your host will whisk you off to some of the most delightful chocolateries to sample some handcrafted morsels, or to one of the traditional patisseries to indulge in anything from buttery croissants straight from the oven, to choux pastry buns and classic macaroons.
While you explore the sweet side of London, your host will show you what makes each of these places so special with stories about their influential founders. We’re sorry for the sugar rush you’re about to have.

Our tour guide, Becky, knew great places to experience the queen's favorite chocolates, a spot for tea and scones, Portuguese pastry and more goodies. She showed us other places of interest as well. She was lovely!

Naomi our guide was excellent. She had a lovely personality and had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to tailor our tour to meet our particular interests. She introduced us to many new and interesting places to visit in the future and ensured that we had a really enjoyable day.

I've had the pleasure and honour to enjoy a Sweet Tooth Tour in summer. The guide (Lynne) was very competent and passionate. Her local insights allowed me (an outspoken chocoholic) to discover places I otherwise wouldn't.

I had a great tour with Lynne on a cloudy weekend in October. There was a good mix of stops, from chocolate to ice cream and cheese. We even got to see how the ice cream was made. I wouldn't recommend a big breakfast before the tour, as there's plenty to taste!
