Tanqueray’s London Dry gin, made with a beautifully balanced blend of four botanicals, has been an iconic London institution since 1830. To honour this homage to our fair city, we thought we’d ask our Secret Londoners where they go to find great British food in the Big Smoke.
We got loads of helpful replies from lovely Londoners sharing some of the most delicious spots in the city for Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, fancy fine dining and more. So, if you’re in the mood for some brilliant British food, then book yourself a table at one of these restaurants now!
