The 16 Best Burgers In London

"We got very dramatic after eating at this East Acton diner. The patties are thicker than most classic smashburgers so you can get away with just one. But they still have crunchy, scalloped edges. It’s a big, messy mouthful, with beef juices that end up pooling on your plate and down pinkies. Which is why their toppings are so genius. The burger sauce is spicy and the crispy shallots add crunch to counter all that fat. It’s got all the comfort of a Big Mac, but No Drama’s burger has finesse too.

The Best Chips In London

"We got very dramatic after eating at this Acton diner. Because everything at No Drama is excellent. The vibe is laid-back and the set-up is simple: a wooden counter with stools and a couple of tables, each likely to have red baskets of perfect chips on them. These fries are what Maccas fries should be like. They're light, incredibly crispy, and not even a touch greasy. You could eat the lot without even needing a napkin." - jake missing, sinead cranna

No Drama. - Review - East Acton - London - The Infatuation

"We got very dramatic after eating at this Acton diner. Because these burgers are excellent. The vibe is laid-back (your t-shirt will be stained by the end of the meal and no one will care), and the setup is simple: a wooden counter with stools, and a couple of tables, each likely to have red baskets of perfect chips on them. The patties are thicker than most classic smashburgers—thick enough that you can see pink, perfectly cooked meat after a bite, and a single patty is more than enough. But they still have crunchy, scalloped edges, and excellent toppings like spicy burger sauce and crispy shallots. It’s got all the comfort of a Big Mac, but, unlike us eating these in five greedy minutes, No Drama has finesse too. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Food Rundown photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Cheeseburger It’s a big, messy mouthful, thicker than your average smashpatty, and beef juices will end up pooling on your plate and down pinkies.

No Drama had been popping up on my socials for a while, and their new location within the Bush Tavern was reasonably close to home, so I took my kid over for an early Sunday lunch. It is a large space with loads of seating which was pretty much empty at the time. No Drama operates independently within the Bush Tavern, meaning you have to order via QR code (which didn’t work) or go up to a dedicated little stall they have set up. Drinks are separate and ordered from the bar. I tried the all day patty while my son tried the classic cheeseburger. We shared a loaded fries and the house slaw as well. The all day patty was a handful, coming with a hash brown and fried egg layered in. It was nice but had a lot going on. I actually preferred the regular cheeseburger, this had a nice crispy edge and you could appreciated the beefy flavours a lot better. The loaded fries were good, the house slaw I would skip next time. Staff were friendly, but it was partly a self service setup. The bill (just food) came to £43. Overall a solid burger, wouldn’t say it’s the best in town, but I would go back.

Haven’t been to the Shepherd’s Bush area for ages. My friends recommended trying no drama’s burger, so we went there this weekend. I really liked their hash browns, along with other sides like the fries. I went for the bacon & egg burger, which surprised me — the bacon was very crispy and matched perfectly with the egg yolk. The beef burger was also juicy and meaty. Would definitely come back again!

Breakfast burger was really nice although theplace was mostly empty and I had to wait 30 minutes to get it. Food is ordered by scanning a QR code on the table and I was not able to see any coffee options

I’m the guy who loves burgers! This is one of the best places to get a burger the quality is fantastic and it’s amazing taste. Their place is too small so if you want to sit inside it better come early to make a reservation! Overall high-quality burgers, and fresh patties, especially with their cheese-style spice sauce are a completely new window of taste and freshness. Highly recommended!

Finally got to try no drama after hearing the positive reviews the last few years saying it was the best burger in London and we were slightly disappointed unfortunately. It’s a delicious and simple burger - particularly liked the lacy edges and blend of flavours with the different onions and sauces - but it was small for the price (£9.50-12). Very very thin patty and no option for double patty that day. Edit; lowered to 3 stars as other photos since we left revealed that they were extra small the day we went. I don’t appreciate the inconsistency. The quality of the meat was good, we could see them cooking as the kitchen is open, but the fries are pre-made/frozen and the buns are ones I’ve seen at Tesco (st Pierre). Both were really good just not living up to the hype! The seating was minimal, bar and two small tables. We waited a few minutes before one of them cleared. So be aware it’s going to be hard to sit for groups >= 3. If you aren’t sure about smash burgers they had a mushroom and a chicken burger available too and the breakfast sandwiches and hash browns seemed to be popular.

Food: We had to wait 40 minutes for our burgers and we were lucky we were nearby, otherwise the wait would have been pain. However, I do believe that the burger was worth the wait. The double burger was juicy and the hash browns were one of the best I've had in a while. Service: They were helpful and answered questions and advised us on what to get when we asked!

The burger was delicious! I ordered a single cheeseburger and loaded fries. The smashed burger was well-cooked, flavorful, and complemented perfectly by the sauce and pickles, making it a great choice. The loaded fries were also impressive—crispy chips topped with cheese, a bit of fried onion, and a great blend of spices. However, one major issue was the ventilation. Despite the nice decor and ambiance, the air circulation was poor. Even though I only waited about 30 minutes for my food, my clothes absorbed the smell. I hope they improve this in the future.

It’s already been said a few times here, but I’ll say it again. BEST DAMN BURGER of my life. The crispy charred edges of the smashed beef patty, the perfectly cooked moist center, amazing balanced bacon jam with the right amount of mustard and other sauces - is a thing of beauty! The layers of umami in every single bite are what burger dreams are made of! Add to that delicious sides like loaded hash browns and very friendly service - no drama but pure bliss!
