Burgers are always a good idea, and in London we’re spoilt for choice with options. So, we’ve put together our top 5 best burgers in London with patties so prime you’ll be relish-ing the moment….
National burger day is not far away (Thursday 24th August to be precise), but for us, every day is appropriate for a burger, so we’ve rounded up the juiciest offerings in London for you to tuck into. Whether you’re looking for a fast food fix, or a meticulously prepared gourmet delight, there’s something for everyone. So, roll up your sleeves and tuck into our list of the best burgers in London.
MEATLiquor
With stores throughout London, MEATLiquor is our most accessible option and equally as delicious. Our favourite on their menu? Their Dead Hippie Burger. An iconic name on the burger scene and edible proof that good things can come in small packages, the Dead Hippie Burger is neatly compacted into a glisteningly smooth bun. The double whammy of two mustard-fried beef patties hits you right in the sweet spot, before their secret dead hippie sauce finishes you off.
If you’re vegan or vegetarian, there are plant-based and veggie options to select from to pair with their vegan Dead Hippie Sauce.

MEATLiquor can be found throughout London, with outlets in Brixton, Canary Wharf, Covent Garden, East Dulwich, Hoxton, Islington, Marylebone and Queensway.
Bleecker
205 Victoria St, London SW1E 5NE
Zan Kaufman, high-flying, successful lawyer traded in his career to open Bleecker Burger and boy do we have a lot to thank him for. Bringing the taste of New York to the big smoke, the Bleecker Burger bacon cheeseburger is heaven in a convenient little box. Famed as one of the best burgers in London, the melt-in-your mouth, juicy patties definitely live up to their reputation. Best teamed with a black and white shake and a portion of ‘angry fries’ - which come generously doused in a mix of hot sauce and blue cheese.
Check out their menu here for more options.
Bleecker can be found throughout London, with outlets in Bloomberg, Southbank Spitalfields, Westfield and Victoria.
Honest Burger
If you’re suddenly struck with hunger whilst wandering around the city, keep an eye out for an Honest Burger… they’re everywhere and they’re serving plant based burger goodness to all. It’s the 21st century, so burgers don’t have to include animals anymore (Webster’s defines a burger as a flat round cake made of a ‘specified ingredient’, typically served in a bun) meaning Honest Burger’s vegetable fritter fully qualifies and deserves its place on this list. Almost pakora-like in style, the cauliflower, sweetcorn, tomato and shallot fritter is seasoned with coriander and comes with a fabulously fresh raita sauce. The accompanying rosemary-salted chips are the finest side in town to boot.
Honest Burger can be found throughout London with outlets in Baker St., Bank, Borough, Brixton, Chiswick, Clapham, Covent Garden, Dalston, Greenwich, Hammersmith, Kings Cross, Liverpool St., Old St., Oxford Circus, Peckham, Portobello, Soho, South Kensington, Tooting and Warren St.
Salt Shed
Unit 53, boxpark, 2-10 Bethnal Green Rd, London E1 6GY
There is something so simple yet so satisfying about the ease of doubling up meaty flavours with a thick slice of pastrami. Salt Shed have embraced this with their magnificent meat heavy Montreal Pastrami Brisket burger. Nestled between a dry toasted bun and complimented with creamy slaw and sweet dill pickles, Salt Shed provide you with all the sumptuousness you need in a bun. Their stakes are top of the range too!
Biffs
BrewDog, 33-35 Stoke Newington Rd, London N16 8BJ
Taking plant based burgers to the next level is Biffs who create indulgent comfort food that is intentionally on the messy side and whilst it’s extremely difficult to choose our favourite, we’ve decided to go with the Samuel Hell Jackson. A spicy concoction of a jackfruit patty, chipotle slaw, maple chipotle shack sauce and jalapeños for the extra burn.
Whilst their burgers are mouthwateringly appetizing, we highly recommend you try their famous jackfruit wings too.
