A city that never sleeps, London is not. Despite its world-class array of bars and restaurants, the capital’s energy tends to wane by 1 or 2am and, by 3, options have generally been exhausted. This stands in contrast to the city that that moniker belongs to – New York – where establishments routinely keep the lights on until 3 or 4am.
For those chasing a late-night bite in London, however, all is not lost – you just have to know where to look. It's a case of quality over quantity: a small but mighty group of restaurants rewards the nocturnal crowd with far more than a lukewarm kebab to be eaten on the Night Tube.
