City Guide: Check Out London’s Best Fish and Chips

Here in the UK, we have a select number of ‘national dishes’. These are foods which we are known for across the world – be it from culinary experts in other countries or the stereotypes which find their way into television and books.

One such dish is fish and chips. It’s a great meal, without a doubt, and one which many of us have regularly. So if you’re hunting for some cheesy chips after a night out or fancy some top nosh at from the best chippies, check out our top picks in the capital.

Poppies Fish and Chips

The first stop is Poppies Fish and Chips. There’s a few of these dotted around the city – Spitalfields, Soho and Camden, and these are some of the best places in London to taste authentic and top quality fish and chips. Founded by born and bred East End resident ‘Pops’, this spot not only creates the best retro fish and chips experience, all ingredients and fish are responsibly sourced.

Moxie’s Fish Bar

Another good location is Moxie’s Fish Bar. They’re a top choice for fish and chips and offer excellent customer service – something that can be sorely lacking in modern times.
