"“But Noodle Inn is in Soho”, you cry. It’s right there, in London’s prime meet-in-the-middle central zone. Well, so is Murger Han. Just off Piccadilly in Mayfair, this cosy, casual corridor of a Xi’an restaurant is home to a variety of noodles including huge bowls of hand-pulled biang biang. As professionally hungry people, we’re also big advocates of getting an order of the steamed rice noodles to take home and pop in the fridge for later. In the interest of your geographic socialising scheming, know that they also have restaurants in Bloomsbury, Elephant and Castle, and the City. Ding ding—all are bookable." - heidi lauth beasley
