The January weather might be frightful but London’s food scene is more delightful this year than ever before. Whether you live in London or just visiting there is a whole host of fantastic restaurants we recommend that you check out this month.
So, to narrow things down, we’ve hand selected a few of our favourite hotspots which we recommend you try…
