Fun food london (and drinks!)

1. Billingsgate Market

9.0
Trafalgar Way, Poplar, Greater London
Fish Market · 29 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: The best place to buy fresh fish in London. The selection is unequaled and the prices brilliant. You do have to get there before 6am though. The "greasy spoon" does bacon and scallop rolls, wow.

2. Lucky 7

127 Westbourne Park Rd, Greater London, Greater London
American Restaurant · Westbourne · 40 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: $5 dollar shakes - with Jack Daniel's if you ask for it, pretty fine burgers and blow your head off chilli. Best feature though is the decor which is a fun Americana (but not Ed's).

3. Tai Won Mein

6.7
39-41 Greenwich Church St (Creek Rd), London, Greater London
Chinese Restaurant · Greenwich West · 43 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: Many won't agree, but I reckon this is one of the best restaurants in London. Best deal is the huge plate of Ho Fun noodles for about £7. Sociable beer hall type seating and super grumpy staff. Enjoy!

4. Meze Mangal Restaurant

245 Lewisham Way, London, Greater London
Turkish Restaurant · St. Johns · 15 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: Haven't been here yet but the Evening Standard voted it one of the best in London. Proper kebabs and white table clothes seems to sum it up pretty well. Will update when we've been.

Little Bay Clerkenwell is one of Fun food london (and drinks!).

5. Little Bay Clerkenwell

171 Farringdon Rd. (Roseberry Ave), Farringdon, Greater London
Eastern European Restaurant · 24 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: Haven't been here either. However the Evening Standard gave it good reviews and it looks great if you're on a budget. Plus, plenty of nice pubs in the area for pre/post-drinks.

6. Rossodisera

7.8
5 Monmouth St, London, Greater London
Italian Restaurant · Holborn and Covent Garden · 26 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: Brilliant little and inexpensive little restaurant.

7. Tattershall Castle

8.0
Victoria Embankment, Temple, London, Greater London
Pub · Westminster · 67 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: This is a pub, on a boat! It hasn't got the best bar in London by any stretch, but it is an enjoyable experience. Downstairs they have huge windows which mean you can look over the Thames in the warm.

8. The Craft Beer Co.

8.8
82 Leather Ln, London, Greater London
Beer Bar · Holborn and Covent Garden · 102 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: One of the best selection of beers in London. Also a nice place and not too expensive. It can get quite busy but it's never rowdy.

9. Indo

133 Whitechapel Rd, London, Greater London
Pub · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 43 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: Best bar/pub in London, without doubt.

10. Euston Cider Tap

188 Euston Rd (at East Lodge), Euston, Greater London
Pub · 35 tips and reviews

Rory C.Rory C: Perhaps not the "funnest" place in London, but a wicked selection of English ciders at very cheap prices in a unique and tiny establishment. Usually less crowded than the Euston Tap across the road.

9.0
113 Bayham St (at Greenland St), London, Greater London
Beer Bar · Camden Town · 148 tips and reviews
