Let’s face it: This is England, and no season can ever truly rid us of rain.

Has January turned you into a go-getting, life-changing achiever?

Even those of us who subscribe to all the food blogs, search for #newopenings, and cross town for soft launches find it hard to keep track of London’s newest restaurants; there just aren’t enough meals in the day.

The cash-strapped can live like cultured kings in the Big Smoke, thanks to an impressive collection of free museums and art galleries, but those with just a pocketful of change have even more adventures ahead.

London is a great city to be hungry in; you’re never further than a stumble from a delicious dinner.

A scene that started with essentially just a hot dog cart, a pulled pork van under a bridge, and a burger with a cult following has become part of the everyday for Londoners as food markets pop up all over town.
