It's time to do something different in London on this fantastic Small Group Experience of Borough Market and the Beefeater Gin Distillery. Visit London's oldest market and explore the culinary delights on offer; from Sri Lankan street food to charcuterie from South Tyrol in Italy. Visit the Beefeater Gin Distillery and sample an award-winning, locally-produced gin, enjoy a Tour of the distillery and an introduction to the distillation process.
- Meeting Point
-
Southwark Gateway Obelisk, Tooley Street, London, UK
Your Guide will be waiting for you in front of the Southwark Gateway Obelisk/Needle sculpture. As you are standing with your back to London Bridge Station looking over the bridge across the river it is on your right hand side almost on the bridge itself (just before the steps that lead down to the river).
Please wait at the base of the sculpture. The sculpture is a 5-minute walk from London Bridge Underground Station, serviced by the Northern and Jubilee Lines.
- Borough Market
-
Visit the historic Borough Market, the oldest and largest food market in London dating back to 1014. Enjoy the sights and smells of the market as you walk around; its warren passageways hide a sprawling cornucopia of everything from traditional British produce to international culinary delights.
Your Evan Evans Expert Guide will bring the history of this fantastic market to life, providing an introduction to its beginnings and architecture. You'll then have ample time to explore the market at your own leisure and indulge in what's on offer.
- Beefeater Gin Distillery
-
After your visit to the market, your guide will accompany you to one of London's well-known gin distilleries to taste and learn about gin. Go behind the scenes and discover how the Beefeater Distillery produces gin, examine the difference between styles of gin and hear how the various botanicals used in the distilling process impact the overall flavour. You'll also enjoy some gin tasting throughout your visit.
Your Tour will conclude at the Beefeater Gin Distillery which is an easy 15-minute walk to either Kennington or Oval Underground Stations, serviced by the Northern Line.
Please note, the bar is open for a post tour drink - allow an extra 30 mins or so if you have time to enjoy a drink.
