It is no exaggeration to say that London really is the world on a plate and all in one city. Due to it's very diverse population you can sample just about any cuisine from around the globe.
Of course that is not the whole story. For many years British cuisine was somewhat looked down upon internationally but it has improved beyond recognition in recent years and London boasts some excellent restaurants of that type.
Admittedly London is not an inexpensive city but with the help of the tips here you can eat excellent food and not break the bank. Bon appetit!
I am a Sydney girl who has been living in London since October 2002, and I hope to stay for a few more years yet....well at least until I try all the restaurants in London ; )
