The cuisine in London is famed not only for its wonderful diversity, but also for the many good values that you can find. Unlike some other major metropolitan cities, it isn't difficult to find an excellent place to have a good meal that won't break the bank. No matter what your tastes in food are, it is easy to find something that you will enjoy with all of the different choices that are available.

Brick Street in London is the well known center of a thriving Bangladesh community and is also a fantastic place to try some authentic and delicious Bangladeshi cuisine. In particular, the curry houses are known for their very affordable meals. Most of the restaurants are owned and operated by Muslims, and thus do not sell alcohol themselves, but they generally permit patrons to bring their own if they wish to do so.

Curry houses in general can be found all over London. Curry has actually become the national dish of England (supplanting the ever famous fish and chips) and is a favorite among residents of London, especially Vindaloo.

The original Chinatown was founded in London towards the end of the 19th century, but was destroyed during the London Blitz. The current Chinatown was built primarily during the 1950's and 1960's in central London. For those who enjoy quality Chinese food at affordable prices in London, there is no better place to go than the Chinatown district.

Although one of the main draws of cuisine in London is its tendency to fall on the more affordable side of the price scale, there are plenty of upscale restaurants to be found as well. Many of these are located in the Mayfair district of London. Some upscale restaurants in Mayfair include Patterson's Restaurant (British cuisine), Maze (fusion cuisine), Les Saveurs (French cuisine), and Scotts (steak and seafood.)

If you are interested in trying some authentically British food, perhaps the area best represented are the wide range of puddings available. Much more than the custard-like dessert known as pudding in other areas of the world, British puddings have long been both a practical and cultural food staple in London.
