Must-try traditional foods & drinks

What to order in London, United Kingdom, with a fun fact for each

Traditional Savory Dishes

Fish and Chips

Fish and Chips

Fish and chips became London's working-class fast meal in the 19th century when fried fish recipes brought by Jewish immigrants met local chip shops, and during both world wars the dish remained widely available and lifted public spirits.

Sunday Roast

Sunday Roast

The Sunday Roast grew from the practical habit of roasting a large joint after church, and it became a weekly ritual that brings families together with roast meat, potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.

Traditional Sweet Dishes

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Sticky Toffee Pudding uses chopped dates in a moist sponge that soaks up hot toffee sauce, so each spoonful tastes like warm caramel and it is often served with custard or ice cream for contrast.

Spotted Dick

Spotted Dick

The 'spotted' in Spotted Dick refers to the raisins or currants studding the suet pudding, and when served with hot custard it became a staple comfort food in British school dinners.

Traditional Beverages

Tea

Tea

Afternoon tea was popularized in London by the Duchess of Bedford in the 1840s as a light meal between lunch and dinner, and it turned into an elegant social occasion complete with finger sandwiches and cakes.

Pimm's

Pimm's

Pimm's No. 1 was invented in 1823 as a gin-based health tonic, and today its fruity cup is inseparable from London summers and events like Wimbledon.

Ale

Ale

London helped invent porter in the 18th century to quench the thirst of dockworkers and porters, and the modern campaign to protect cask-conditioned real ale grew from a love of that living, unfiltered beer.
