We will be in London March 31 - April 2 and want to do a food tour. We have two teens, 14 & 17. There are so many tours that I am looking for recommendations. If not a specific tour, where in London should I be looking. Thanks in advance.

hey hey jward1352
your time is so short in london, a big & busy city with lots to do and see.
do you land in london on march 31, where are you flying from and fly/train to another place april 2? that really give you one full day.
if you fly from overseas, JETLAG is real, check-in to hotels 3-4pm check-out 10-11am. check-out day is busy (pack up, shower/morning duties, breakfast, getting to transportation to next destination, like almost a half day is taken up.

I took Eating Europe’s Heart of the City tour in June. It was very good, interesting City of London history, knowledgeable guide. This was the 7th Eating Europe tour I’ve taken. https://www.eatingeurope.com/london/only-city-of-london-food-tour/
HINT: For the past couple years, EE has discounted gift cards on Black Friday. 20% off if I remember right. I buy a gift card then and when I’m ready to schedule a tour, use it.

I've booked Cozymeal's food tours all over Europe including in London and I'm a big fan.
We booked the tour with Guilde JOrge exploring Shoreditch district in London and loved it. We had 6 or 7 stops (lots of food!) and opted for the drink upgrade. But the drink upgrade is not mandatory especially if you have kids.
Just make sure you booked them in time since they do tend to get sold out: https://www.cozymeal.com/uk/london/food-tours

I have taken multiple food tours in London over the past 4 years and my favorite is the Eating London (from the Eating Europe team) East End Food Tour. I am taking my college-aged niece to London in December and I am doing the tour with her. The East End has great food, vintage stores, markets, so we are planning to do some shopping there in the afternoon. What I like about this tour is that it combines a variety of bites sweet to savory, history of the Jewish, Pakistan, and Bangladeshi immigrants, along with some amazing street art. Even if you don’t take this tour, teenagers will like the East End. When there you have to try the Humble Crumble (a modern take on the WW2 staple) and a Beigel (bagels with salt beef and mustard).
