Traditional Sweet Dishes
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
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 Savory Dishes
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
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 Beverages
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 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
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.

Onder de indruk van de omvang, maar teleurgesteld door de service in restaurants, overal rijen en de prijzen voelden opgeblazen vergeleken met andere EU-steden.

De musea en parken waren top, eetopties zijn gek, maar verwacht drukte og dure koffie. Vier dagen was precies genoeg.

De streetfood-scene blies me omver, van Indiase curry's tot ambachtelijke zuurdesem. Portemonnee kreeg klap, maar m'n maag was blij.

Twee weken is te lang voor ons, een lang weekend of 4-5 dagen dekt de hoofdzaken. Grootstedelijke energie, voelde vriendelijk maar gehaast.

Sla restaurants bij hoofdstations over, loop twee blokken en vind goedkopere pubs. Borough Market is vroeg top; later op de middag verkopen kramen restjes goedkoper.
