GB · Harry Score ranking
The 10 Best Restaurants in London.
Ranked by Harry Score — the same formula Harry applies everywhere, run across the whole city, not just the centre. Anything above seventy is worth leaving the house for. Above eighty-five is the reason to make a plan.
London's top tier isn't French anymore, and it isn't British either — it's Indian, by a wide margin. Gymkhana holds two Michelin stars, the first Indian restaurant in Britain to manage it, and that didn't happen by accident: a handful of restaurant groups spent a decade training chefs in proper fine-dining discipline, then watched them leave to open sharper, smaller rooms nearby. That's the real debate at the top of London dining — whether the legacy names or their former staff are cooking the better version of the same idea.
