Travel insurance→06Practical questions
What first-timers ask before eating their way through London.
Where should you eat in London?
Eat where the kitchen is local rather than international: the restaurants, bars and producers listed on this page are real, mapped venues in London with their filed cuisine, hours and price bracket. Pubs serve food at lunch and in the evening; the Sunday roast is the meal worth planning around.
What food is London known for?
Order local seafood, cheese, game and the regional ale, cider or spirit. A guided tasting is the quickest way to learn the local names — three hours with a food guide saves a week of guessing, and our partner experiences below list live prices.
What time do restaurants open in London?
Lunch is typically served from 12:00 to 14:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 21:30. Pub kitchens often stop earlier than the bar, and rural kitchens may close on Monday and Tuesday. Each card shows the hours the venue has actually filed.
Do you need to book a table in London?
For dinner at weekends and anywhere with a small dining room, yes — booking the same morning is usually enough. It is essential in peak season and during local festivals. Where the map record notes a reservation policy the card shows it.
How much does a meal cost in London?
Expect roughly £15–25 for a pub main, £40–70 per person for dinner with wine at a good restaurant, and more in London. Tap water is free when you ask.
Are there food tours in London?
Yes — food walks, market tours, gin, whisky and ale tastings and cooking classes run in and around London. Every experience on this page is a live partner product with the operator's own photo, live price and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is it easy to eat vegetarian or vegan in London?
Easier in larger towns than in small villages. Where a venue has filed vegetarian or vegan options the card is labelled, and markets, bakeries and produce shops fill the gaps well.
How much should you tip in London?
Check the bill for a discretionary service charge of about 12.5%; if there is none, 10–12.5% is usual in restaurants. At the pub bar, no tip is expected.
