London
Best BBQ in London.
Harry's top 10 BBQ spots in London score 65–90 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
Smoke is an ingredient, not a decoration. Harry reads the bark, the smoke ring, and whether the meat rested as long as it smoked. Sauce is a condiment, not a rescue operation — if it arrives pre-drowned, the kitchen already told you what it thinks of the brisket.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
