Best Burgers in London
Best Burgers in London
Julianna Cassata
🍔 Burgers are one of my favorite foods, so wherever I go, I make a point of seeking out the best ones. From my personal experience thus far, the burger transcends cultures, with each country putting their own spin on this universally-loved dish.
It made the most sense to begin with London, my adopted home, and a city brimming with burger tasting opportunity. Having tried many spots over the last 4 years, I bring to you, a (very) curated list of the best burgers in London. Options range from classic pub burgers to mouthwatering smashburgers and beyond - and all are unique to London/UK.
If you're as enthusiastic about burgers as I am and you don't see your favorites on the list, please do share over on Instagram @somethingsavored and I'll add to my must-try list!

The Plimsoll
@somethingsavored
Don't ignore the other items on their menu! The burger pairs nicely with the potatoes & aioli and the cocktails are great. Be sure to make a booking to avoid disappointment.

Lagom
@somethingsavored
Elliot Cunningham is the chef behind LAGOM, inside Hackney Church Brew Co. Elliot's live-fire kitchen pays homage to his Swedish heritage and the burger is no exception. It's topped with a vinegar slaw that adds a unique dimension to the burger. My only wish is that the burger was slightly bigger, but it's still one of the best I've had in London.

Black Bear Burger
@somethingsavored
The Miso Bacon burger delivers on umami amazingness. Black Bear Burger has multiple locations around London.

Bleecker Burger
@somethingsavored
For good reason, no 'London's best burgers' list is complete without Bleecker. There are multiple locations around London.

Burger and Beyond
@somethingsavored
I love the Bacon Butter Burger which is topped with American cheese, bacon, burnt butter mayo & onion. There are multiple locations around London.

Honest Burgers
@somethingsavored
Unlike a lot of other restaurants, you can choose how you'd like your burger cooked here (IYKYK)!! The rosemary chips are great, too - and also unlike other restaurants, come WITH the burger and are not an add-on. Don't let the fact that there are multiple locations across the city stop you from trying Honest Burgers.

Supernova
@somethingsavored
Supernova has received some criticism for long wait times but I did not personally experience this and loved the burger! The smashburger has extra crispy edges which I found very satisfying and flavorful.

Lucky Chip
@somethingsavored
Lucky Chip pops up in various places around the city. I haven't been to this particular location but recommend Sir Richard Steele Pub if you find yourself in North London.

Hi! 👋 I'm Julianna, a London-based, multi-passionate creative, digital marketer and traveler. I left my corporate job 6 years ago to freelance and to start my small accessories brand, Maragold Designs.
Having long-been a travel resource for family, friends and friends-of-friends, I'm looking forward to now pursuing my love of travel in a way that helps others experience places to their fullest! I've always longed for a way to more widely share the knowledge that I’ve gained through first hand experience, countless hours of research and, compiling of recommendations. Enter Thatch!
Before moving to London 4 years ago, I lived in Boston and am originally from a small town in Massachusetts. I grew up across the street from my family's Italian-American restaurant which was established in 1933 by my great grandparents who emigrated from Italy. From an early age, this instilled in me a deep appreciation for small businesses. They're truly the heartbeat of any community and I love discovering special local spots on my travels.
