London is well known for its diverse mix of cultural experiences across the neighbourhoods, and this has bled into the food availability over the last few years. Across all areas of the capital, you’ll find innovative cuisines from culinary geniuses. If you’re a fellow foodie, make sure you visit these London neighbourhoods as soon as possible.
Islington
Islington has risen up over the last few years and has reached the point where even Soho struggles to compete. Lined along Upper Street, which has suitably attracted the name “Supper Street”, there’s a fierce row of bars and restaurants that are all well worth the visit. For example, if you enjoy Italian you’ll find this fine establishment: terrarossa-restaurant.co.uk. Whereas, if you’re looking for a more carnivorous treat, then head over to the Smokehouse.
Camden
Camden is a unique neighbourhood set around a network of canals resembling Venice. This area is renowned for its marketplace, which is where you’ll find plenty of places to shop and eat. In particular, at the heart of the market, you’ll find a courtyard stacked full of street food vendors serving up everything you could imagine. Even though the prices can be a little steep – it is London after all – it’s well worth your hard-earned cash. As well as delicious mains, you’ll find a number of dessert venues including Hans & Gretel.
Soho
A visit to Soho has to be on every food lover’s list because it has more restaurants than any other neighbourhood. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, snacks, or dinner you’ll find it here. Some of our top picks include Hoppers, 10 Creek Street, and Ceviche Soho. As well as this, you can visit China Town for a truly cultural experience, which is perfect for food and shopping.
Brixton
Brixton has always had a multicultural feel to it, and that hasn’t changed one little bit. The famed Caribbean cuisine including ackee, jerk chicken and saltfish can still be found here, and they helped put this neighbourhood onto the food-lovers’ radar. However, things have grown over recent years, with plenty of delicious Indian foods, burgers, pizza and sushi.
Southwark
If you ever visit Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the Tate Modern or the Shard, you’re in the perfect destination for some of the tastiest cuisines in London. As you wander Southwark, you’ll come across food from local business owners alongside taverns that have been stood for centuries. No matter what food you enjoy, you’ll find something to tuck into here.
Covent Garden
Covent Garden is known for its concentration of theatres, but there’s also plenty of food to be enjoyed as well. For example, Flat Iron serves up the best steaks you’ll find at a reasonable price. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more cultural, Polpo will serve you a delicious dish of fresh Venetian-style fish.
London has it all, with everything from exciting attractions to wonderful cuisines. Even though there’s a lot more food to be explored, the neighbourhoods outlined above will make for a fantastic starting point.
