What makes London the most interesting place to dine in Europe? Well, if you believe in the S.Pellegrino Worlds Top 50 Restaurant Awards, there are only two London restaurants worth eating at- Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, which I am indifferent towards, and the Ledbury, which I think is Primus inter Pares. No, the real reason are the creative use of old locations, such as the fact that the best Middle Eastern restaurant is in a green house near Richmond Park or that the hippest destination in South London is located in a room full of architectural objects for sale in a crumbling classical mansion next to a traffic island.
