With a constant flow of new restaurant openings and online advertisements, it can be hard to know where to book to eat out in London but we’ve taken the liberty of compiling a helpful city guide with 6 of the best restaurants to book in London right now, all tried and tested by us.

1. Zuaya

2. Park Row
