After two millennia of growth on the banks of the River Thames, ‘The Big Smoke’ continues to thrive as an ever more diverse city, with over 300 languages spoken by more than 13 million people. Catering to the highest number of international visitors each year, London restaurants are rising to the occasion with panache. Long known for boring and sometimes downright disgusting contributions to the food world, London has finally surpassed its reputation as a culinary dead-zone and become a foodie's delight. Not only is it at the cutting-edge of cuisine, with many London restaurants being Michelin-rated and helmed by superstar chefs, but there are endless opportunities to explore vast possibilities for international flavours that only such a diverse city can offer.
