Tourist locationWell-known and easy to find. The cooking can still be excellent — just don't expect to stumble on it.

Mini-chain chophouse. The £20 all-in platter is real value, but discovery and authenticity are low — a busy Shoreditch meat room you could have found from a hotel concierge.

Why we recommend

The £20 all-in chop platter is one of London's best-value meat feasts. Note: mini-chain (not independent) — use when user wants meat and value, not discovery.
