If visitors to London were to ask me what the best places are to get fish and chips in central London, I would instantly have two favourites in mind: Fryer's Delight in Holborn or Poppies in Shoreditch (and other locations). I am sure that there are some other fish and chip restaurants that I am not aware of, but these are the two that I have been to and can recommend.
I came across Fryer's Delight in Holborn by chance back in the autumn of 2010. I was working for a small company that had just moved from Great Portland Street to Red Lion Street, so I had a wander around the area and came across Fryer's Delight on Theobald's Road. It turns out that Fryer's Delight is one of the best fish and chip restaurants in London and is quite a well-known place. It still retains a traditional interior, dated from the 1960s.
Poppies Fish and Chips is the second fish and chip restaurant that is popular in London. Poppies first opened up its doors in Spitalfields, opposite Spitalfields Market on Hanbury Street. I visited it at times when I worked on Brick Lane. Since becoming popular at Spitalfields, Poppies has opened two additional branches in Camden and Soho. I've only ever been to the original Spitalfields branch.
Do you have another favourite fish and chip restaurant in central London that I have not mentioned? Let me know.
