Still on the avocado hype? This alternative London tube map will help you track down all the best places for all the best avo-based edibles.
Generally, you’re unlikely to find a restaurant or café that doesn’t have avocado on its menu these days, particularly if it’s serving up brunch, but that just complicates the decision making process. If you can literally go anywhere, how do you narrow it down?
Fortunately, the World Avocado Organisation (damn right, that’s a thing) decided to recreate the tube map, recommending somewhere at each central London stop. Now, you can simply hop off the train and head in the direction of a tried and tested avocado haven. While a lot of it is just avo on toast, there are some more exciting options that we’d like to avo try of (and – dare we say it – they’d also look pretty good on our Instagram feeds).
For example, The Alchemist’s avocado-based California rolls, which you’ll find near Aldgate station, are deliciously fresh. Or, you might want to try Selfridges’ avocado gelato, near Marble Arch station. (See below.)
If you make your way to Covent Garden, you’ll even find an entire restaurant dedicated to the fruit; aptly called Avobar. These guys certainly don’t stop at avocado on toast – their menu also features avocado burger buns, avocado brownies and avocado ice cream.
