    These places are pure tourist traps and serve dreadful food - a friend of mine got food poisoning from there. There are far better places to spend your cash than here.

    Anyone who thinks that fish and chips is our national dish needs to take a trip to Brick Lane on a Friday night! Whilst British food may be a bit of a non-starter, at least we have the Empire to thank for saving our stomachs.
    There are so many great Indian restaurants to choose from - just follow your nose! Most are pretty cheap and cheerful - great for a night out after the pub. I particularly like the Standard. Fine dining it isn't, but you can get a tasy filling curry . If you carry on walking to the bottom of Brick Lane there are a couple of great all night Bagel bakeries - the last legacies of the areas Jewish ancestry. Great for a late night snack - join the queue of clubbers and cab drivers.

    Belgo can be a fun night out but it has been a victim of its own success - you have to wait for ages to get a table and the service is sloppy. The quality can also be a bit hit-or-miss.
    Not a good destination for a romantic date - more for boozing with your mates (the beers are particularly good).

     Very helpful tips--the escalator rule is so true! I wish people on the pavement understood the same rule--it seems to be a free for all on most London "sidewalks." :)
