Little Manila in the UK 🇵🇭 Filipino Food Tour in HIDDEN London Philippines District

Is there a Little Manila in London? The Philippines has connections to the UK capital going back to the 1970s and if you look closely you’ll find hidden Filipino food stalls, mini Pinoy supermarkets and the UK’s very first Jollybee restaurant - all in one small area!

So, where is Little Manila in London? Emma and I headed over to Earl’s Court in the west of the city, to find out some more about Pinoy life in the UK... But mainly we just ate Filipino food all day!

We kicked things off by tasting some authentic Filipino food at Kamayan Sa Earl's Court, they served us up some classic dishes like Chicken Adobo, Bilo Bilo and Halo-Halo. We then did some shopping around the Pinoy Supermarkets, one of which sells Red Horse beer. Then to finish things off, we tasted Chickenjoy at the UK's first Jollybee.

Hello everyone, it’s been a while!

I hope you enjoyed this little adventure into London’s hidden Filipinotown! There’s another fun video coming next Sunday too, so keep your eyes peeled for that.


I’m going to experiment with a few different styles of video over the coming months, so please do let me know what you like/dislike about any of the uploads.

I’ve also just got back from an epic trip around the Scottish Highlands, which will be an 8 part series once I can edit through the hundreds of gb of footage. I can’t wait to show you the videos from there, it was pretty special.


See you next week!

I miss the Philippines. It’s been three years. Thanks for sharing!

British vloggers who are currently staying in the philippines are pretty good too. Eight Miles from Home, Everyday Tv, Juicy Vlog, Kumander Daot etc. Their video editing and narration are on another level but yours is just better. You deserve more subs

[KumanderDaot]

Everywhere in London is instagrammable. I love the buildings, gloomy weather…etc. So relaxing especially when youre listening to bossa nova or jazz music…

You made me smile sir . Thank you for embracing our food, hospitality and the people of our humble but happy country of the Philippines 🇵🇭

Cheers! Thank you so much for this from a Filipino NHS nurse! I remember my bestfriend and i came to the same restaurant and the Kuya was very accommodating as well. He probably realised we were starving for some Filipino food. We had Dinuguan and Kaldereta :)
