London is well-known for being a melting pot of culture with everything you could need and more, whether you are looking for anything from high fashion to stunning architecture. If you are just passing through or are hoping to find the best places to eat around the capital, we’ve compiled a list of the best areas for good restaurants in London.
Soho
As one of the most diverse and iconic London locations for nightlife, it’s little wonder that Soho is a top destination for eateries of every shape and style. You’ll be able to choose from up-and-coming new restaurants where you can walk in and eat good or make reservations in the more coveted establishments – or after a night on the town winds down, peruse Chinatown’s amazing late-night street foods and buffets.
Known for its quirky clientele, it’s no secret that Camden hasn’t always topped the list for award-winning restaurants, but in recent years it has really upped its street food game. You’ll be able to grab some great food on the go or take it up a notch with interesting takes on traditional favourites, so you certainly won’t go hungry as you shop the stalls at Camden Market and more.
Shoreditch
From the ridiculous to the sublime, Shoreditch isn’t the place to go if you don’t have a bit of money to spend on fine dining. There will be some options for affordable food stops during the day, but at night it certainly caters to more high-end (some might say famous) clientele.
Mayfair
If you want to eat in London’s most sought-after destination, Restaurants in Mayfair are going to cost you a pretty penny. Host to more Michelin starred restaurants than anywhere else in London, you’ll get trendy eateries popping up alongside the high-end names you’ve been dying to try.
Brixton
For an authentic London food experience, Brixton is a fantastic choice for independent eateries ranging from Thai, Jamaican, Indian and everything in between. All of the food on offer is brought to patrons with a sense of culture and community – and you won’t have to spend a lot to eat some of the tastiest foods money can buy.
Covent Garden
If you are looking for a change of pace and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of London dining, Covent Garden will be a great place to go. You’ll find a plethora of home-grown restaurant chains alongside some more established brands; there is something for everyone who wants to enjoy a meal in peace.
Notting Hill
Although it has been over 20 years since the iconic rom-com Notting Hill hit the big screen, plenty of Londoners and tourists flock to this affluent district to soak up the sights and shop in some high-end stores. You definitely won’t be able to grab a burger from a big chain brand, but there are plenty of great eateries that will hit the spot whether you visit during the day or at night.
With such a diverse range of local, chain and Michelin-starred restaurants dotted around all of London’s top destinations, you’ll never go hungry!
