I have been working for Sherpa since the summer season, and absolutely love my job. It is always a pleasure to engage with new people from across the world, and share our passion for food. I am a keen cook so am well placed to share thoughts about cuisines and techniques. I also have a varied background in education and work, having studied Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at the University of Edinburgh, and working extensively as an actor and writer in the UK and Italy. I speak Italian, love watching sport, and am passionate about literature, theatre, music, and history. See you soon!

Favorite Dish

‘Amatriciana’, one of the staple four Roman pasta dishes.

From Indian curry houses on Brick Lane to Jamaican jerk chicken in Brixton, London's immigrant heritage shaped a food scene unlike anywhere else in Europe. Private Food Tour: For those looking for something more bespoke, our team of expert curators will design a private experience around your interests — whether that's Michelin-starred restaurants in Mayfair, craft ales in historic gastropubs, or hidden street food markets in Borough Market and Maltby Street.

How much walking is there on the tours?

All restaurants featured in our tours are within walking distance of each other. Besides the expected restaurant hopping, we walk a few blocks in between to show you around the neighborhood. There’s A LOT to eat during the tour, so a break in between restaurants is much needed. Getting those extra steps will help you make room for dessert!


What's included in the London Food Tour?

Our Soho food tour includes tastings at 4 to 6 local eateries, featuring traditional British dishes like scotch eggs, mature cheddar, and craft cider alongside the multicultural street food that defines modern London cuisine. You'll explore the West End's most vibrant neighborhood with an expert local guide who shares the history behind each stop — from the French Huguenot bakers who shaped Soho's café culture to the post-war Caribbean and South Asian communities that revolutionized British food. Insider tips and a comprehensive food guide for your stay in London included.


How long does the tour last?

The tour typically lasts 3-4 hours, allowing ample time to savor each tasting and learn about London's culinary history. Time will fly by! There’s no better way to see the city.


What if I have dietary restrictions?

We will always do our best to accommodate any dietary restriction. Please let us know at least 24hs in advance so we can arrange an amazing menu, be it vegetarian, gluten-free, or lactose-intolerant. Unfortunately, we can't accommodate a vegan diet and maintain the same quality standards


What happens if it rains?

We are on a mission and will not let the weather get in our way! Come rain or shine, the tour will take place.


How much food is there on the tour?

We will be eating and drinking plenty! No one has ever left our tours hungry. We take the “food” in “food tour” VERY seriously.
