Bleecker

Multiple Locations ★★★★½ 4.8 $$

Started under a railway arch, now a London institution. Dry-aged patties, American cheese, and a bun that holds up. Simple, devastating.

2

Patty & Bun

Multiple Locations ★★★★½ 4.7 $$

The Ari Gold (smoky mayo, pickled onions, ketchup) is what put London on the burger map. Messy, loud, perfect.

3

Truffle

Multiple Locations ★★★★½ 4.5 $$$

Truffle-infused everything — burgers, fries, shakes. Sounds gimmicky, tastes exceptional. The truffle burger with parmesan is their crown jewel.

4

Honest Burgers

Multiple Locations ★★★★½ 4.5 $$

The rosemary salted chips alone are worth the visit. British beef, British attitude, consistently excellent across every location.

5

Lucky Chip

Hackney ★★★★½ 4.4 $$

East London pub burger royalty. The El Chappo with chipotle mayo is a Hackney rite of passage.

6

MEATliquor

Marylebone ★★★★½ 4.4 $$

Dark, loud, and the Dead Hippie burger is named perfectly. Double patty, mustard-fried, with dead hippie sauce. A London legend.

7

Hawksmoor

Covent Garden ★★★★½ 4.6 $$$

The Sunday lunch burger — only available on Sundays — is made from dry-aged steak cuts. Worth planning your weekend around.

8

Buns from Home

Covent Garden ★★★★ 4.3 $$

Small operation, big flavours. Korean-inspired burgers with gochujang mayo and kimchi slaw. Fresh and different.

9

Flat Iron Burger

Soho ★★★★ 4.3 $$

From the people who brought you flat iron steaks. The smash burger is thin, crispy, and comes with their famous creamed corn.

10

Le Bun

Various ★★★★ 4.2 $$$

French-inspired burgers with foie gras, raclette, and Burgundy sauce. As pretentious as it sounds, and worth every bite.
