Before you go

How to eat in London

  1. Order at the bar

    Pubs don't do table service: order drinks and food at the bar, giving your table number for food. Tipping on drinks isn't expected.

  2. Skip Borough Market on Mondays

    The market runs Tuesday to Sunday and most stalls are shut on Mondays. It's packed at lunchtime, so go mid-morning.

  3. Book Rules and The Wolseley

    Both are in demand: reserve on their websites, especially for dinner at Rules or breakfast at The Wolseley.

  4. Coffee in Soho

    Bar Italia and Maison Bertaux are two streets apart, a good break between the British Museum and Covent Garden.

Checked on November 3, 2026. Opening hours and tickets can change, so check each place’s website before you go.
