If we're talking about the culture of London restaurant eating, it's probably worth plugging fellow upstart newsletter Vittles, which has probably done more to drive middle-class hipsters into locally-owned restaurants than anyone else in the modern history of the city
on the food stuff - there is something frustrating about London in my Spanish opinion which is the lack of "just fine humble food" places, because no one can break even in this city with most of the food. Hell, in the bakery I have near home they do not sell bread because they cannot make money out of it...
Anyway, what do I mean with humble food? Soups for example. The only options for that kind of humble food seem to be either Chinese food (focusing on the most popular options like fried noodles or rice with chicken or prawns, and still, not bad) or Special Fried Chicken. Been two days in Barcelona and the nostalgia for good humble food places really hit me like a tornado - menus without the attack of adjectives you find on every pub menu and where lettuce is something given and asumed, not an extra. Argh, this city is so difficult if you are not super wealthy.

Very nice bit about Kemi. She was, at times, also an oddly mixed bag when on the Assembly.
