London Society FOOD CRAWL - Liverpool Street

Have you ever wanted to explore and savour as many food places within an event? If so, this may be the right one for you. Welcome to another one of the FOOD CRAWLS where you have the opportunity to explore and savour the food from some of the places we may visit. 



With this particular event, we will be exploring an array of bakeries and parlours that revolves around Eastern Asia, the Caribbean and the Middle East. We will also be savouring what they may deliver. Based on research and experience, the places we are to visit have some unique delicacies which has brought joy to the world. Here are the food places we’ll be visiting: * Old Chang Kee (Singaporean) * Jamaica Patty & Co (Jamaican) * Darlish (Persian) So the plan is extremely simple. We’re to visit each food place and savour their unique delicacies hence the term ‘food crawl’. This is the opportunity to explore the Food places, eat, drink, make new friends but most importantly, have an enjoyable yet memorable experience. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy

It is then shortened, to give back to you a magical walk with all the best bits of 'Lovely London', voted the best City in the World for the 10th year running! What is given back to you is the most scenic, healthy walk (usually 3-6 miles in length) with some of the walks containing hidden cobbled lanes, lost shops, secret gems, areas lost in time, wonderful views, idyllic Instagram photo shots and all sorts! Now and then some brief local info is mentioned or something of historical importance along the way. You will have plenty of time to chat and meet new friends whilst walking the amazing lost areas of London! So we welcome you to the colourful highlights of this fascinating City of London with simply wonderful things to see!
