Hey everyone,

Taking myself on a little minibreak to London at the end of May - primarily to see the Wes Anderson exhibition at the Design Museum (anyone been?)

So I'm looking for some recommendations for nice pubs and eateries for while I'm there. I love both real ale/craft beer, and am open to pretty much anything food-wise, though it'd better if it were budget friendly

Any other recommendations are welcome, though I've been to London a few times before - so a lot of the more obviously tourist things have already been done.

Thanks in advance,

Brick Lane has lots of great food choices. So does Brixton. Check out the Londonist (on any search engine). They usually have decent reviews.

Depends what kind of food you like Edgware road has loads of Arab cuisine which I love. If you've never had a decent shawarma, this is the place for it.

Thanks for the rec! I'll keep them it mind, because I really can't function without a coffee in the morning.

Drinks; The Alchemist is my go to if you like really elaborate (and some pretty expensive) cocktails. The Bevis Marks nr Liverpool Street one is one of the better ones, food isn’t bad either.

Food wise

BBQ: Bodeans; Ribs, Burgers, Steak, a few around London.

Chinese: virtually anywhere in China town nr Soho

Curry: Brick lane

Some nice food stalls around the Southbank Centre too at weekends as well as some cool exhibitions.

My favourite restaurant is Rules in Maiden Lane, near Covent Garden. It's the oldest restaurant in the UK and the food is fabulous. Luke

10 Bells pub ... It has infamy!

World End ... Good pint too

Porterhouse ... Covent Garden love that pub!

Food... Stay away from tourist areas and you can't go too wrong to be fair.

Enjoy it, would recommend Sky Garden for the views of you can handle the queues.

"The Seurat exhibition at the Cautauld is sublime"

I've just checked that, and it finishes the week before I'm there

disappointing
