Private Tour of London's Hidden Markets

The London markets worth knowing are not the ones on the postcards. They are in the railway arches under the line into London Bridge, where Bermondsey does its trading: Druid Street, Maltby Street, Spa Terminus. The producers work at the back and sell at the front, and unless somebody takes you, you would walk straight past most of them.

Over two hours your guide walks you along the arches that are worth stopping at, and you taste as you go - the bolder end of what Bermondsey cooks now, alongside old London things that somebody has gone to the trouble of bringing back. There is time to talk to the people who made what you are eating, which is usually how you find out what to come back for.

The walk is private, so the route bends towards whatever you turn out to like.
