The Hit List: New London Restaurants To Try Right Now

"The Park’s dessert menu sounds like it was created by a focus group of toddlers and adults with severe sugar-fixations—chocolate mud pie, build-your-own sundaes, warm cookies, and a caramelised banana split that comes with hundreds and thousands, by the hundreds and thousands. If that doesn’t spark joy, the larger plates at this American-Italian Queensway spot will. Adults in suits and sparkly pashminas abandon cutlery and squirt French’s mustard on hot dogs, cheeseburgers fly out of the kitchen, and salads are roundly ignored. Not everything is perfect—like an under-seasoned summer minestrone—but the dishes that do work are comforting, carb hugs. " - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
