Perhaps the best benefit of being single is not having to share your food with anyone. This is even more important when it comes to London street food as who wants to share these delicious treats?! Here is some of the best street food London has to offer and we promise you that a meal for one at any of these places will cost you less than a date night with the GF.
1. Crabbieshack
[Instagram]Get crabs in your bun and not in your trousers with this girlfriend-free delicious seafood street treat. Old bay battered soft shell crab burgers served with the toppings of your choice including pickled cucumbers, chilli and wasabi mayonnaise or pomegranate, harrisa, red onion, coriander and red cabbage are just two of the many options you’ll have to deliberate between. If you’re feeling extra ~fancy~ then go for the lobster roll with anise butter and thousand island dressing.

4. Bleecker Street Burger
[londontheinside] Simplicity is key here with a variation of three items on the menu: Burgers, fries and shakes.
