The 19 Best Solo Dining Spots In London

"A hop, skip, and a T-rex tail away from the Natural History Museum, Al Dente is a great little Italian restaurant we go to when we just want to hang out with our friends ‘cacio’ and ‘pepe’. It’s open from lunch until late and almost all of the pastas are under £15, which is impressive in a part of town—South Kensington—where dogs have their own manicurists. Get a seat at the bar, make eye contact with your handmade pasta, and have a chat with the friendly servers if you decide you do want human interaction after all. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
