About this tour
London's plate is a stack of arrivals: working-class pie shops south of the river, Victorian City markets, Jewish beigels, Bengali curry houses and Punjabi grills that remade the East End. Twelve food stops from a 1902 pie and mash counter to a beigel bakery that has not closed since 1974. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
