My equivalent of an open-bus tour of London is savouring my way across the city's culinary landscape. My carefully curated list was compiled through a combination of crowd-sourcing from my F&B industry friends, recommendations from credible publications, and the trusted palates of my friends whom I trust. Returning after a six-year hiatus to London resulted in a list requiring a much longer stay and an appetite of epic proportions. I wasn't sure what to expect since my last trip was during the prelude to Brexit, and the mood in the city wasn't the best. However, it's very clear that things have turned 180 degrees in terms of the quality of service and the diversity of food now available. Having spent the last summer in New York, it's safe to say that London also offers better value, for the most part.
