Oh the smell, the taste. Don\u2019t you just love them? I mean what\u2019s better than a wrapped-up fish and chip supper? Perhaps sitting on a beach with the wind, rain and crashing waves! Trust me, that\u2019s what we do here! It\u2019s the UK\u2019s national dish after all! The question is, can the fish and chips in the London food scene match the seaside town offerings? And, does London have a culinary scene worth seeking out?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally, we get a bad rap regarding our food. But, dig a bit deeper, hunt around, and you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised by what you can find. The London food scene continues to grow, no, actually it&#8217;s thriving. It\u2019s just a case of knowing where to find the best places to eat. London has its fish and chips, of course, but there\u2019s a lot more to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discover<\/a> and taste, than just our favourite dish.<\/p>\n<p>At isango! we&#8217;ve walked the streets, tasted the dishes, and drunk the beer to give you our recommendations of the London food places to try out, and also what else you can do in and around the area you\u2019re eating in. Well, food and travel go together, wouldn\u2019t you say?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Shoreditch<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Snuggled between the city of London and towards the newly developed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/london\/no-diets-here-an-epic-east-end-food-tour_32476\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East side<\/a> of the city (that&#8217;s Stratford and The Docklands), Shoreditch is start-ups heaven! Small cafes, restaurants and independent stores can be found on every street corner. Jostling for space with other businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The area is also well known for its street art scene. Walk down any street and you&#8217;ll find artwork from famous artists. Don&#8217;t just look on street level. You&#8217;ll need to look up as well, as there are works of art in all sorts of places, on street lamps, on top of buildings etc.<\/p>\n<p>Shoreditch also has a very varied history, so booking a walking tour can help fill in those historical details for you. Visit here and you have an area that can be explored, devoured and shopped in!<\/p>\n<p>Not far from Shoreditch is Brick Lane, one of the famous food streets.
