Local perspective

A city of villages and high streets

Ask a Londoner for a recommendation and the answer depends on the postcode. Tooting has its curry houses, Brick Lane its beigel bakeries, Southall its sweet shops and Stoke Newington its cafés. We judge places by the standards of their own patch, not only by those of Zone 1.

Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge

Before choosing

Our approach

We go borough by borough, give priority to businesses Londoners have relied on for years and confirm every address, number and opening time before it is published. No list is left to gather dust: each one is reviewed on a regular basis.
