Food and Drink Walking Tours in West London's Notting Hill Area
Description
You will learn about the history of the area which is home to the longest antique market in the world, colourful art, fashion, beautiful architecture, iconic movie locations immortalized here on film and why there is such a large Spanish community here too.

Itinerary
Home to the longest antique market in the world. Through out the whole week Portobello Road always has an amazing electric atmosphere to it. From vintage clothing to Bric-à-brac stalls and not forgetting the lively food market, there's something for everyone here.
From the award-winning hit film 'Notting Hill' you can visit the famous Blue door and the book shop that Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts starred in.
There's so much incredible art & graffiti in the area but how could we miss works from the incredible and anonymous 'Banksy'. We will see two of his pieces on the Portobello Tales tour.

This is a seriously good way to spend three hours in London. Our guide Eddie was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Potobello Road / Notting Hill area, stopping frequently at points of interest - some well known and some hidden gems - and also about the different foods we sampled, of which there was a great selection. He was also very personable anns natural, and we certainly didn’t get the impression that everything was ‘on script.’ Incidentally, we did a quick tot-up of the food and drink included in the tour and thought it represented very good value. Thoroughly recommended!
I should never have eaten breakfast. The food and drink on this tour was outstanding and we were taken to places we would never have found on our own. The walk was at the right place and the history of this part of London so interesting. These tours are as only as good as the tour leader and we were very fortunate to have Eddie Weaver who was brilliant. Thanks Eddie
So good, I came home and booked another one. Eddie was a very informative tour guide who had good knowledge of the area and found some great foody places
We had a great walking tour with Eddie. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area we were in which was just what we wanted. His enthusiasm in the local area was invaluable for future places to eat at. Steph
I was looking for a different activity to take part in with a group of friends to celebrate my upcoming wedding. A more civilised and sedate hen event shall we say. This tour came highly recommended and did not disappoint. from the moment the tour started Eddies knowledge of the area was apparent. He moved us efficiently though the streets to our first food stop, passing at points to talk about the area and its history and culture. Our first stop was a Venezuelan street food stall, from there we progressed to a Spanish deli, a bun shop, a wine bar and two more deletable treats followed. The whole tour was relaxed and at a suitable pace, dotted with interesting facts, stories and local highlights. The food was all well picked, perfectly portioned and delicious. We are now looking at booking the other available tours. Thank you Eddie for a great day.
We were looking for a private tour in the Kensington area and I came across Walk Eat Talk Eat. I reached out to Eddie to see if he would be willing to host a group of 60 people and he said it wouldn't be a problem! He was so easy to work with and brought us to all the best places. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough. We will definitely take this tour again next time we are in London.
We had an amazing time on this walking and eating tour around the Portobello Road. Eddie was knowledgeable, entertaining and took us to some brilliant eateries. He was a great host and tour guide and I would definitely recommend Walk Eat Talk Eat to anyone looking for a fascinating and enjoyable day out in London.
We had been on the Bermondsey tour in 2023 so wanted a different experience. We were not dissapointed either with this tour! Eddie is a very knowledgable guide who mixes history with culinary experience. The shops/stalls we visited were all very welcoming and offered excellent food and drink! Special thanks to Luigi in Franklins who supplied excellent wines and coffee! Only 1 tour left to experience and we will certainly be on the East End Tour very soon. These tours are a great insight into the areas you visit and with the food and drink supplied are great value for money!
We loved our tour of Portobello Road and Notting Hill today! Eddie is very knowledgeable about the local area and the food was fantastic! A great way of exploring new areas of London.
My husband and I joined Eddie for a wonderful tour of Notting Hill and Portobello Road market - it was a wonderful experience. Eddie was extremely friendly and easy to talk with. We learned so much about a neighborhood in London we had never had the opportunity to visit before - the food and drink were delicious! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London for the first time or like us a repeat visitor to this amazing city.
