London Travel Forum

Hi VTers,

I work in the city (around Liverpool Street/Bank) and quite frankly I'm sick of going to the same places for a quick, cheap lunch. My friends and I meet up for an hour and inevitably always end up at The Wall, Wagamammas or Ekachai. Are there any other places around the same area that you can go for a sit-down, fast and inexpensive lunch?

Have a look at Spitalfields market and towards Brick Lane. Sit down lunches in the City usually mean a sandwich at your desk. Or sitting in Bunhill Fields with some of Marks and Spencers finest fayre and watching the girls go by. Inexpensive is not a word that is commonly heard in the City.

Towards Brick Lane is too far - we only have an hour! Mate, I've worked in cities for 8 years and I refuse to have a sandwich at my desk - I hate spending 8 hours a day there as it is!

As for sitting outside - London's "summer" has certainly prevented that.

But thanks for your response ;o)

Surely there's more VTers out there who work in the city who can help? Puhleeze!

There's a branch of Leon's inside Spitalfields market. Lovely, healthy and inexpensive food!!

Oh thanks - I completely forgot about Leon's! Went there last year and the food was great. The one on Cannon Street would be closer to me though.

Cheers!

What about a delivery? Sushi?

Went to Cha Cha Moons which is on Canton Street just off Carnaby street . The owner is the guy that started Wagamammas , every dish is £3.50 , good food at decent prices , well worth a visit .

Carnaby Street is in the West End, not the city.

there's a really nice thai restaurant by a pub called the hatchet on garlic hill, it does an express lunch menu. also walk up to a pub in st pauls called the rising sun, again nice thai food. there's also a strada round the corner from there. on thursday and friday you could wander over to borough market which is busy but ace.
