Get your sweet treats from where the Royal Family shops!

Sandwiched in between aristocratic Mayfair and St. James’s, Piccadilly has always been nestled at the forefront of taste and tradition. From French macarons to traditional Japanese ‘wagashi’ confectionery, my new (and gluten-free) ‘Piccadilly & Petit Fours’ tour explores the history of this iconic London thoroughfare while sampling the most delicious sweet treats this prestigious area has to offer.

Alongside tasting the Queen’s favourite chocolates and other delights (included in the tour price), this walk will also unravel stories about the royal residents of St James’s and the aristocratic buildings of Mayfair. From the smallest public square in Britain to a cobbled stable yard studded with bijou mews houses, our exploration will take in one of London’s oldest wine shops as well as feature a visit to a famous food emporium too. See how many royal warrants you can spot along the way!

Following in the footsteps of my popular ‘Macarons & Mews‘ walk, this brand new food tasting tour adopts a similar concept: exploring the hidden corners of an iconic London area while visiting the location’s sweet(est) hotspots. Come join me for this adventure and enjoy la dolce vita – the London way!
