Best Dumplings in London.

Harry currently ranks 10 dumplings spots in London, scoring 71–86 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing.

Dumplings are judged on the wrapper — thin enough to read through, strong enough to hold the soup in. Harry counts the pleats, checks whether the filling was seasoned as a filling or as an afterthought, and treats a burst xiao long bao as the small tragedy it is.
