This second edition of Eat London is completely revised and updated, with new entries highlighting the very best food stops not to be missed in a tour of London.

Its 15 chapters detail everything from the best fish and chip shops of East London to haute cuisine and artisan food stores in Mayfair. Every entry has been assessed for quality, originality, pleasant surroundings, convivial ambiance, consistency and above all amusing personalities.

Eat London includes 60 recipes by some of Britain's top chefs including Francesco Mazzei of L'Anima, Giorgio Locatelli of Locanda Locatelli, Matthew Harris of Bibendum, Pierre Koffman of Koffman's, Bryn Williams of Odette's, Adam Byatt of Trinity as well as recipes from some of the capital's favorite restaurants such as Boundary, Brawn, Cecconi's, China Tang, Coq d'Argent, Galvin LaChapelle, Moro, Pizza East and Tinello amongst others. Every entry has complete listings and can be located on the fold-out maps. Special photography throughout illustrates the wonderful food and everyday street life of one of the tastiest places on earth.
