Modernistic, with traditional & robust British cooking on every visit. My favourite place in London is still going strong year after year, truly standing the test of time. Always stays true to itself.

Best lunch in a mile. Buy British! Beetroot, Radicchio & Curd and the main dish Pork Chop, Lentils & Watercress we came to this lovely and very british Malt Loaf which was served with brown bread ice

Refined but simple dishes in a hidden little restaurant. The food is lovely, but the proximity to the kitchen calls for a better ventilation system.

This place, in a converted school in the historic Arnold Circus in Shoreditch, an exercise in chic understatement both in décor and its English, seasonal food. (Tip: Hit the buzzer)

It’s a lovely setting in an inner garden under a greenhouse, and actually a canteen like area with unpretentious food.

One of the best place to lunch in East London! Get that by 1pm before the best things on the menu sell out, and take cash.

In the heart of a Victorian school, the menu of this secreted away eatery changes daily, but rarely if ever disappoints. (Btw you need to hit the buzzer to be let in)

Petit café bobo dans une ancienne école. A tester pour un petit déj ou déjeuner en 'terrasse' (cours de récré)!
