It's my first stop in London whenever I'm visiting, since you can get directly there from Hearhrow on the Heathrow Express train.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ask-metafilter">ask-metafilter</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/food">food</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/london">london</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/thatlondon">thatlondon</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/joy">joy</a></p>
