London

Proper pubs, quiet classics, no fuss.

A note from the editor

The first time I went to London, I fell into tourist traps researching quintessential London dishes. If you want the latest and greatest, eating where insiders go for comfort food, exploring modern British cuisine, and sampling a dram of Scotch from centuries-old independent whisky bottlers, this guide is for you.
