"2. Poppies Pat 'Pop' Newland started his East End fish and chips career at age 11 when he got a job cutting up old newspapers so they could be used to wrap chips. More than 50 years later, he finally opened Poppies, his first restaurant in Spitalfields, combining the traditional—jellied eels! saveloys!—with a modern eye for quality. The fish comes from Billingsgate Market and the aesthetic is cheerful '50s chic. 1. Brockley's Rock A decade since opening, Brockley's Rock remains one of south-east London's best-loved fish and chip spots (and has the awards to prove it). But while the restaurant does its standard dishes well, its inclusive menu draws in newcomers. The gluten-free batter is as crisp as anything (even better than the original), and the vegan-battered sausages (made with wheat, starch, and protein) are just salty and mouth-wateringly delicious. A version of this article originally appeared in Condé Nast Traveller." - Ashleigh Arnott
