Must-try foods in London

• Salt Beef Bagel (Beigel)
  Salt Beef Bagel (Beigel)A late-night East London staple, specifically from the rival 24-hour bakeries on Brick Lane. These chewy, boiled bagels are piled high with thick slabs of tender, hot salt beef, punchy English mustard, and crunchy pickled gherkins. It remains an iconic, affordable bite that bridges the gap between old-world Jewish heritage and modern street food culture.
• Chicken Tikka Masala
  Chicken Tikka MasalaOften called Britain’s national dish, this creamy, tomato-based curry was popularized in the UK. While Brick Lane is the historic heart of London's curry scene, 2026 trends see diners flocking to Dishoom for their signature 'Ruby Murray' or the recently opened 'Afghan Caravan' for fragrant.
• Sticky Toffee Pudding
  Sticky Toffee PuddingThe ultimate British comfort dessert, this dark, dense sponge cake is made with finely chopped dates and smothered in a warm, rich toffee sauce. Usually served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a pour of cold custard, it is a non-negotiable end to a meal at any top-tier London gastropub.
• Wild Prawns Saganaki
  Wild Prawns SaganakiReflecting London's 2026 obsession with elevated Mediterranean fare, this dish from new hotspots like 'Zylia' in Covent Garden features juicy wild-caught prawns in a salty-sweet tomato and tahini sauce. It represents the 'new school' of London dining: authentic global flavors served with high-quality British produce.
