Where To Find The Best Burgers In London

With a few spots around London and a permanent outpost in Brixton’s bustling market, Black Bear says the secret to its success is the grass-fed beef it sources from the south west of England. The result? Delicious, high-quality patties with just the right balance of fat and meat. You can’t go wrong with the Double Black Bear – two dry-aged beef patties, American cheese, smoked bacon, garlic mayo, onion jam – but you need to give the Double Miso Burger a go, and cheese fans should know the rarebit crumpet is a must-order.

Frequently touted as making the best burger in London, Bleecker started as a street food operation, but now has permanent sites in Spitalfields, Victoria, Westfield and Bloomberg Arcade, as well as delivery-only locations in Battersea, Bermondsey and Maida Vale. The original menu remains, and the group still serves its award-winning Bleecker Black (a double cheeseburger with beef black pudding). If you’re hungry, add the Angry Fries topped with hot sauce and blue cheese sauce.

You’ll find Lagom in the railway arches at Hackney Central, where it shares a space with the Hackney Church Brewing Company – a match made in heaven. Chef Elliot Cunningham mans the wood grill, cooking up smoky meats, experimental vegetarian options and killer burger patties. The restaurant's name translates as ‘just enough’ in Swedish, and that sums up its famous burger, too: aged beef, with a pit-fire smokiness, in a milk potato bun with mustard-mayo, American cheese and a vinegar slaw for tang.
