London is the gastronomic capital of the globe, according to France's most famous, and 19 Michelin Star decorated chef Alain Ducasse, not to mention the most important city in the world for restaurants. The local Londoners agree, and have recommended some of their favourite places where they like to practice eating out more than in. From the humble street food, to the Cinnamon Club's 'Bollywood burner', to the 3 Michelin Starred Ducasse Truffle Degustation Menu, this city allows culinary indulgence of astronomical proportions.

Assume everything I list begins with 'Award Winning:' Local pies, Hog Roast rolls, Philly Cheesesteaks, dishes from all over Europe as well as the essential fresh vegetables and seafood to round it all out. Even when the market isn't running the pedestrian friendly street invites it's permanent residents to spill out to create a vibrant atmosphere.

Take the long route and walk there over London Bridge for some mean views of Tower Bridge. Once there, you can buy yourself lunch and then simply peruse through the various stalls, taste-testing the other treats on offer. Finish it all off with a pint at The Rake. It may be the smallest pub in London but it's more than a little bit awesome.

Each food stall is worth the visit on its own but Street Feast shines because it is more than the sum of its parts with a sense of community that only tasty and unique food can create.

I don't have even enough letters to say why you shouldn't! Best place to enjoy some good food/drinks and meet new people and dance until your legs hurt! If you don't believe me then believe the queue...

You'll be spoiled for choice here, there's everything, it's quality, and it's reasonably priced. The only downside is having to decide. Grab a drink while you explore the winding lofty arcades and find something that takes your fancy. Sit in the market rows and enjoy the live music while you eat, then walk it off to Federation for a coffee after.

As soon as you nestle yourself into this cosy joint, you’ll be made to feel at home. The iconic little cafe has changed little during its 100-year history, and its unique Art-Deco interior and family-ran charm has earned it the admiration of locals and celebrities alike – as the cafe's elusive autograph book proves.

It is a good way to get a quick, healthy (take out) meal in central London. It is close to many of the theatres in the West End for people looking for a more casual pre-show meal, but it is great for anyone passing through the area wanting hot or cold, healthy take out food. If anything, visit for the ambience.

Retailing since 1978 this long established coffee shop located off the iconic Seven Dials landmark of Covent Garden is a favourite with locals and tourists. Be warned you will queue for your coffee here. But as a true coffee lover, if you come to London, it would be rude not to pop in...

While relatively new countries (compared to Europe) such as Australia and New Zealand don’t always have a recognisable cuisine, the way they adapt the traditional food and beverages of their ancestors is particularly unique. The Roastery, for me, is Melbourne café culture in South London, making me nostalgic and satisfied all at once.

This place truly has it's own character from the sporting artefacts covering the walls to the staff's deafening yelling of orders for collection. They serve proper 'working men's meals here; cheap, big portions, and not for the healthy hearted but tasty none the less. This is a legitimate taste of true English culture not to be missed.

If the canals are the veins of East and North London than this modern canal-side refurbishment is part of the DNA that makes this area of the capital so unique. And if the food and waterside location aren't enough of a draw already, the café forms part of a larger operation; including bar, private room hire, local art displays and comedy nights.

Not only is this a butchers, but also a delicatessen. There are six across London, with the Abeville Road branch opening most recently. The traditional sausage roll is mind blowingly moreish, it could possibly be the perfect hangover cure, but even that would be underselling it.
