LONDON RESTAURANTS
Food in London
Pub food is usually good and not so expensive and you can indulge in the old traditional food of London such as sausage and mash, shepherds pie and the great British Sunday Roast which can cost anything from £4.99 upwards.
Fish & ChipsEveryone knows that fish and chips are the mainstay of the British diet and if bought from a fish and chip shop can be inexpensive and enjoyable. They really do taste good when bought wrapped in paper (with lots of salt and vinegar added before they're wrapped!) and enjoyed in the park or in one of London's many gardens or squares. Even better when it's cold outside as this is the quickest way to warm up.
Afternoon TeaCafé society is not like it is in places like Greece, France and Italy but with the introduction of Starbucks and so on, Londoners have begun to enjoy drinking coffee (that is - if you like it milky and frothy!).Tea is still a firm favorite of many and traditional afternoon tea is enjoyed by those who have the time to do it. Favorite places for 'afternoon tea' are the Ritz and Fortnum and Mason (both in Piccadilly) where you can enjoy the traditional sandwiches with a variety of delicious cakes.
London Food - Covent GardenThere's a lot of choice in trendy Covent Garden and veggies are well catered for at Food for Thought in Neals Yard where you can eat tasty food for £6.The Covent Garden Grill is another popular and inexpensive place to go and if you like traditional pasties try the West Cornwall Pasty Co . There are many branches all over town and in Covent Garden you can eat on the terrace and enjoy a filling meal with one of the best views overlooking the Piazza.
Leicester SquareIf you're in Leicester Square there are many affordable places to go like Yates Bar which as well as being large and comfortable, has great deals on meals. There are literally hundreds of great restaurants from Italian bistro's to the highest of French Cuisine offering fantastic food in London. Nearby is China Town which offers authentic chinese food at good prices.
SouthbankThe arty and very trendy area of Southbank (home to the London Eye) has many excellent restaurants and bars and also many popular places to stop and enjoy a snack and drink.Not far away along Bankside (close to London Bridge and Vinopolis city of Wine) is the amazing Borough Market. Fresh fruit and veg and an array of mouthwatering food, restaurants and bars make this a popular area for locals and tourists to enjoy not only the atmosphere but the delicious food in London.
Eating Out... Oxford Street When the sun shines in London there's a mad dash for eating out on the terraces and if you're in Oxford Street and wondering where to go, take a stroll down a small alley called St Christopher's Place (close to Selfridges).This leads on to Barrett Street where you'll find café society at it's best. Trendy restaurants such as Carluccio's line the street and tourists and locals alike enjoy drinking coffee, eating cakes and wining and dining in this traffic free zone. Other great places nearby are Carnaby Street and Ganton Street and the not so well known Lancashire Court which has lots of lovely little restaurants with terraces where you can wine and dine. Charlotte Street is just off Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road and famous for it's terraced restaurants both cheap and expensive. If you're looking for inexpensive food in London try a great kebab or fish and chips (take away or eat in) at Dionysus Greek Restaurant next to Tottenham Court Road tube station. For a great night out (and a bit more expensive), try the Elysee Greek restaurant and club.
Eating Out... Knightsbridge, Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove The upmarket area of Knightsbridge has many cafes and surprisingly some quite inexpensive restaurants where you can sit on the terrace and enjoy this pretty London street.
