Great Value Train Travel
Camden is a superb place to visit thanks to its unique markets, vibrant live music and delicious cuisine. Here are five scrumptious spots to fuel up after a long day of exploring the popular London district.
Andy's Greek Taverna
Established in 1967, this family-run eatery is the perfect patch to grab a bite. Choose from traditional home-cooked meat dishes, salads, moussaka and kebabs, as well as seafood and steaks.
One of the most popular selections at Andy's is kleftiko, which is baked lamb with Greek salad. The Taverna also serves a set lunch menu from 12pm till 2:30pm daily, when two courses are just £6.95 and three are £9.50.
You can find Andy's Greek Taverna at 23 Pratt Street, Camden, London, NW1 0BG. View their full menu.
Mildreds
Located in a beautiful glass building on Jamestown Road, Mildreds is a popular spot for lunch. It all started in Soho in the late 1980s, when founders Diane Thomas and Jane Muir opened a fresh and colourful vegetarian restaurant on Greek Street.
Believe it or not, back then you could purchase a delicious main course for £2.95, which led to queues of people flocking to the venue. The pair often had to send the punters to a local pub to wait for a table. Eventually, Mildreds expanded, moved to larger premises and now has several branches scattered across in the capital. Please note that mains are a little higher in price than £2.95 nowadays.
Tuck in at Mildreds on 9 Jamestown Road, London, NW1 7BW. View their exquisite vegan and vegetarian menu.
Poppie's Fish and Chips
Fancy some proper English grub? Poppie's is the place to be. Serving up tasty battered morsels since 1952, the chippy has a huge focus on responsibly-sourced ingredients.
