Good value in London

9 places for Good value in London, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Regency Cafe — Doobydobap, TOPJAW
  The black pudding has great texture and creaminess and is delicious, and the grilled tomato is juicy inside — 'it doesn't get better than this.'
  Heads up: The bubble and squeak was rated as 'not very flavorful.'
• Kiln — Doobydobap, 셰프 안성재 Chef Sung Anh
  Called it "one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life," and praised the signature clay pot noodles — under £10 — as "one of my all-time favorite noodle dishes."
  Heads up: Walk-in only, no reservations — especially recommended for solo travelers.
• Maria's Café — More Best Ever Food Review Show
  Named the best food of the day — they said you could feel the care and precision, and with three sausages included, called it 'today's best value.'
  Heads up: Seating is outdoors, so you'll have to eat outside in cold weather, and the portions are very large, making it hard to finish alone.
• Algerian Coffee Stores — TOPJAW
  Praised for serving very high-quality espresso for £1.20, and for stocking coffees from lesser-known origins like Australia, Malawi, Thailand, and Vietnam.
  Heads up: It's a small, always-busy shop, and the host urges support since so few old independent shops like this remain in London.
• Brasserie Zedel — Harrison Webb
  Raves about the lavish, film-set-like basement space, the live music, and the great value of the £19.95 three-course menu, calling the steak bordelaise a 'phenomenal dish.'
  Heads up: There's no phone signal underground (free wifi is available). The set menu is much better value, making the £27.50 à la carte relatively expensive, and the bordelaise sometimes comes with a skimpy amount of sauce, so it's worth ordering extra peppercorn sauce on the side.
• Healthy Eaters — Doobydobap
  The pie crust, tinted yellow with curry powder and turmeric, is wonderfully crispy, filled with spicy beef — all for just £2.50.
  Heads up: Notes that the queue to buy bakery items is very long.
• Tea and Tattle — Locavore Eats
  For a reasonable £24 per person, you get a three-tier stand of sandwiches, scones, and cakes — the carrot cake was a particular highlight.
  Heads up: The video description notes this spot is PERMANENTLY CLOSED.
• Clifton Nurseries Cafe — Harrison Webb
  Praises the atmosphere of being in the middle of a garden centre, plus warm croissants and coffee at £2.75–£3.75, making it possible to have a date for under £10.
  Heads up: Don't expect much from the food — go for the coffee. The avocado and chocolate pancakes and croissants are messy to eat on a first date, and the flowers aren't sold individually, only as potted plants. Beer is pricier at £8.50.
• Greggs — Locavore Eats
  The sausage roll was very crispy and the sausage itself was decent, and the steak bake was also great value as a quick bite.
  Heads up: A UK-wide chain, no specific branch mentioned.
