With the Night Tube being an actual real-life, non-imaginary thing from 19th August, we’re going to be out and about way later than we’re used to. So eating habits are going to change all round, but don’t worry you little nocturnal guzzlers you! We’ve listed a few late night eating spots that are slightly more palatable than your corner chicken or kebab shop.
1. Three Eight Four, Brixton
This small plates restaurant and cocktail bar is situated on the bustling Coldharbour Lane. They offer an array of small dishes to cater to all sorts of tastes. Try their slow-cooked beef brisket served on brioche, crispy avocado wontons or garlic butter prawns.

2. Duck and Waffle, Moorgate
It will take you 40 seconds to reach the 40th floor of the Heron Tower which is home to this eclectic restaurant (if you take the elevator of course…stairs might take 40 hours). Praised for it’s views, all-day dining, captivating menu and decor, this place is a must try.

5. Meat Liquor, Marylebone
Cheese steaks, “Bingo wings”, chilli dogs and burgers sum up the Southern style cooking found at Marylebone’s MeatLiquor. Exactly the kind of mouth-watering, heart stopping food you want after a few too many work drinks. It’s dark and loud in here no matter what the time so it’s probably not ideal for a romantic late-night date.
