The Best Restaurants In London, According To Chefs

We all love a good dining recommendation, whether it comes from a good friend, a colleague, or a really loud passenger on the train (thank you, girl with the Céline bag on the Overground — that sourdough pizza place was really good!). But, if anyone knows where to eat, it's the chefs actually making the meals you love eating yourself.

No, we don't mean the housemate who served you watery spag bol last night, nor the boyfriend who warmed up a frozen pizza for you, either. We're talking about the head chefs and top dogs at some of London's finest dining establishments. They're the ones who really know. Ahead, 15 local chefs share their favourite places to eat in the city (outside of their own kitchens, of course) — think of it as your little black book for dining in London.
