In London you have to know where to go to get good food.

You can (or used to be able to) get a good roast beef at Harrods.

Ask a taxi driver. Pub food is often quite good but again, in London you'll have to ask a native (if you can find one).

Squeaks or Micca or any of the other London Catters should be able to help you.

Also you should ask around to find a good Chippy (Fish & Chip Shop).

If there are any good fish mongers left, see if you can get REAL kippers, or better yet a Buckling.

And if you see a street merchant selling shell fish you can try the shrimp, winkles and whelks, You can skip the prawns 'cos they are the same thing that are called shrimp here in the states.

Go to Petticoat lane and see if Tubby Isaacs is still there and try Jellied Eels. But I'll warn you they are an acquired taste.

Take care & Have fun.
