Proper old school chippy, quality is amazing for the price! By far the best fish and chips I have tried in central London and at half the price some others charge. Fish was great, chips were perfect and the curry sauce was a nice addition.

Very good and authentic place suggested by locals for fish and chips. I was super happy about my choice and I had a great culinary experience. For sure not a fancy place but very typical and worth to try. Remember thats cash only, pretty strange considering its London
