Fantastic gastropub with beautifully preserved interiors. It has a local vibe yet people come from far and wide to for the famous Sunday roasts, which, while more refined than most, still pack a punch. Bookings for Sunday lunch are essential. For a great weeknight snack with a drink, order the buns of the day

The eastern outpost from the Moro family, this is a great called out place for middle eastern and Greek inspired tapas. If they're on the menu, you must order the pork chicharrones.

Borough Market is where tourists eat, this is where Londoners eat. There's simply no other place to be on Saturday morning - stat with a blood pudding scotch egg to snack on and move on to Spinach and Agushi for a curry and plantains

A truly unique venue - it looks like it hasn't changed since the '70s and it most definitely hasn't. The name is not a hipster joke, this is one of the last remaining local institutions and that also happens to host bizarre club nights like 'Trash from Outer Space'. Worth a go for a totally different night out
