NEW! Where to grab a bite after a London Walk?
I've asked my London Walks colleagues to
chip in their suggestions and I'll share them here regularly on The Daily Constitutional.
The Rules: All "reviews" were conducted
anonymously and we paid our way. No kick-backs, no payola, no deals: these are
the places that we London Walks guides - and London Walkers – choose when eating and drinking out and about in London. No buckshee burritos, nary a gratis
granola bar was received in exchange for these recommendations.
And I promise never to use the word
"eaterie". Seriously: have you EVER heard anyone SAY the word
eaterie?
The Criteria: As well as the one-offs, the
unique cafes, bars and stalls that make London so special, I'll be featuring
reliable chains along the way. They have to be in London and within five minutes of the end of a London Walks tour.
I hope you enjoy them.
Have your say: As usual we'd like to hear
from you – drop us a line with your own London foodie (and drinkie) tips.
Buon Appetito!

Unexpected London on Friday morning finds
me lunching in an unexpected place.
Half way up Villiers Street on the right hand side is Herman ze German whose "wurst is the best".

It's pretty simple. Huge wurst sausages with fries and
sauerkraut. My genuine German contact says it's the best place for curry wurst
in London and I'm not going to argue. Ask for the crispy onions and tuck in.
Biggest problem with the place is the size – pretty small so you need to get there early or take away and the great thing
here is that it's perfectly positioned for Embankment Gardens with benches and
grass to sit on. Just make sure you have a pocketful of napkins as it can get
messy and you don't want an unexpected mess down your shirt.
Unexpected London leaves from Temple tube
at 11am on Friday. Great walk, great lunch.
