London Street Food tips in 200: Warung Tempeh, Leather Lane Market
Leather Lane market is one of the oldest London street food markets, yet even the quickest visit will prove that this way of eating is still thriving. In fact, things are better than that. Even on a fantastically rainy day – when you’d think everyone would order food to be delivered straight to their seats so they didn’t have to […]

*NEW SERIES* London Street Food Tips in 200: Lahpet at Old Spitalfields Market
As some of you well know, this blog is a labour of love. It started out as a hobby, a simple guide to the city’s best street food stalls, markets, and trucks, and as the industry widened and writing a full guide got bigger than me, it developed into more of a journal of random street food adventures. […]

LSF On Tour: ordering a hot pot in 8 seconds at Singapore’s People’s Park Food Complex
8.45pm and a woman is talking at me, urging me to decide what I want to order for my hot pot. Things happen fast around here. “Lady, do you want meat? Fish? Vegetables? Which ones? Tell me quick!” Sensing the urgency, yet not speaking the language, I pick at random. Greens feature highly, as do pieces […]
London street food panel discussion, podcast, and recent best bites
I’m pointing out the blooming obvious here, but there are a hell of lot of delicious things to eat at London street food markets at the moment. Yeah, yeah we’ve heard that before, mate. But, seriously, think about it: five or so years ago there just wasn’t the gigantic variety of street food available that […]

Monty’s Deli on Hoxton Street (and a preamble about what happens when a London street food trader turns into a restaurant)
What happens when a London street food trader opens up a restaurant? Is it still street food, has it sold out, and/or or does it move into London street food stall-turned restaurant territory and therefore become a different thing, with different priorities and a different audience? Also, if it’s the latter, then should it really […]

In memory of Wilkes McDermid – where these London Street Food traders are now
This time two years ago a fine food photograher friend Wilkes McDermid, who was probably the biggest supporter of the London street food scene, left us. Last year, with the help of lots of people, we ran a tribute post to him on this blog. This year, I thought that rather than look back that […]

Devi’s pav bhaji naan ‘pizza’ – and an ode to competitive London street food eating
In five years of writing this London street food blog, I’ve seen a lot of competitive eating. Sure there have been actual competitions involving people racing against each other to eat or make street food – anyone remember Ribstock or Big Apple Hot Dogs’ Blog Eat Blog topping comp? But there is another kind of […]

Has Kerb’s new Camden market got what it takes to serve North London street food?
Camden’s a funny old place isn’t it? I both love it – I often wind up there for gigs of some description – and I can’t bear it – all those slow-moving throngs of tourists – but mostly I’m confused by it. I often wonder why its tat-filled tourist shops attract anyone at all. As […]

New London Street Food Market – a Q&A with founder Mike Norledge
Boom! Hampstead’s getting a new food market, folk. So what’s the deal? In short, the new London street food and produce market is run by the same people behind the successful Primrose Hill market, so there will be a mix of fresh produce and hot street food to take away. I’m particularly looking forward to breakfast […]
