Itinerary

Greet your private driver at your London hotel and discuss which areas of London’s vibrant market scene you wish to discover. Listen to suggestions from your knowledgeable driver-guide and customize your itinerary according to your interests.

Perhaps venture to Portobello Market, in the heart of Notting Hill, to scour stalls replete with antique treasures and eclectic artifacts. Explore the fashionable Notting Hill neighborhood with its record shops and sophisticated clothes stores and revitalize with a cup of English tea in a quaint café.

Alternatively, head to Borough Market to taste your way around the world at more than 100 gourmet food stalls. Sample locally grown, organic produce from cheese shops, burger joints and seafood stalls, and shop for exquisite olive oil, handmade chocolate, and enticing cured meats during your day.

If you’ve got a penchant for vintage clothes, opt to visit the hip and happening markets of East London. Browse the markets of Brick Lane and Spitalfields for unique bargains and peruse shops bursting with wacky outfits from every decade in history. Purchase retro knick-knacks and sample homemade treats in food areas during your time in this eclectic wonderland.

Then bid your private driver farewell and return to your London hotel.

Markets made easy!

Winter_C, Nov 2021

This tour made seeing multiple markets on one day easy and enjoyable. Our guide was about to drop us at a key starting point and return to pick us up when we called, our pace was entirely our own! He also provided helpful insider information about each market. Invaluable!

Superb market day experience

Driver was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the history of London. Gave us great advice about where to go in the markets and it meant we got so much more out of the day , then in between when we were travelling we got to hear the history and information about where we were.

Dragon our driver was AWESOME!!! If you are ever in London and you are short on time, book this through Viator and ask for Dragon, if that is possible. OMG...He helped us plan our entire day. It was well worth the money. It was nice to not have to spend time on how to get from point A to point B because we were only in London for two days. Having a driver who catered to my God daughter and I was the best pampering ever. Prior to the trip my God daughter and I had an idea of the places we wanted to shop so it was helpful to Dragon to help us map out our time.

We enjoyed the markets and felt we had a unique perspective on them on a Sunday. Our driver was knowledgeable about the processes and the level of markets, forcasting projected crowds, and setting a schedule that was acceptable to our group of six.
