Eating out in London

The thing I love most about living in London is the food (though the theatre is pretty great, too). The variety of cuisines never fails to amaze me! Anything you could possibly want is available, it’s just a question of finding it…

If you’d like a quick overview of my top 5 budget and non-budget restaurants, read the dedicated post here. Else the full list is below, with my favourites in bold.

My favourite breakfasts in the city are here.

And if you have any recommendations for any part of London, please feel free to comment below, or get in touch with me via email, Twitter or Instagram!
