Don’t fall for the £15 fish-and-chips near Leicester Square. Instead, head to Borough Market on a weekday (weekends are a human soup). The kids can munch on doughnuts from Bread Ahead while you grab a goat curry from a stall that smells like heaven. It’s loud, messy, and perfect.
Side note: If someone needs a sit-down meal, try MOTHER in Shoreditch—it’s a sourdough-obsessed spot with pizza that makes kids actually eat vegetables. Trust me, it’s sorcery.
