The Punch Bowl London

Forget the Punch and Judy show. There’s a better performance in town at Guy Ritchie’s revamped historic pub (built in the 1750s). Meets all your classic beer needs.

The National Dining Rooms London

Work up an appetite with art, then stop by this classically understated space in the Sainsbury Wing for tea, freshly made Cornish pasties, scones and cream, and seriously chewy ginger snaps. For supper, try Brit classics like fried haddock with mushy peas or rhubarb trifle.

Roast Restaurant London

With a giant room overlooking Borough Market and St. Paul’s Cathedral, Roast pays homage to classic British fare. The cuts on the menu — pig, mutton, fowl, beef — are sizzled on a spit in the open kitchen.
