Chelsea Kitchen

The cheapest food for miles. Chelsea Kitchen fills a hole for West London trustafarians going through a scruff phase. There are pasta dishes and salads at prices to make you smile, and the crowd is prettily bohemian.

This spartan place - part of the Stockpot empire which has branches all around town - has some of the cheapest food in London and is almost like eating out at a restaurant. Sturdy staples include the likes of French onion soup, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne and steak. Nothing too inventive, just good, hot grub.
