From Michelin starred pub dining and riverside food halls to neighbourhood gastropubs serving exceptional seasonal cooking, Fulham has quietly become one of London's best places to eat and drink. The Knife rounds up four of the area's standout destinations, each offering its own reason to book a table.

Chef Shaun Rankin has spent nearly two decades refining the art of British fine dining. Now back on home soil at Grantley Hall – and with a new cookbook capturing the journey – he reflects on memory, mastery and the Yorkshire terroir that shapes every dish on his Michelin starred menu.

"Nature should always dictate the menu." Restaurant Isca Executive Chef Jack Hazell joins The Knife to discuss cooking with the equinoxes, why British produce deserves centre stage, the challenge of letting nature lead the menu, and how ingredients growing just outside the kitchen are shaping one of Sussex's most exciting new restaurant openings.

The former home of Michelin starred Leroy has entered an exciting new era. At Duchy in Shoreditch, chef Simon Shand and restaurateur Alex Grant draw inspiration from the historic Duchy of Savoy, blending the flavours of France and Italy through an ever-changing seasonal menu, exceptional produce and one of London's most thoughtful regional wine programmes.

Pine’s Cal Byerley discusses cooking from the Northumberland landscape, rediscovering his creativity, finding inspiration in overlooked ingredients and why sustainability’s restrictions make the restaurant’s food more ambitious – not less.

Red meat. Red wine. Wines poured exclusively from magnums. Vivat Bacchus' legendary Club Carnivore returns, celebrating South African braai culture with an indulgent five-course feast, expertly paired wines and one of London's most distinctive communal dining experiences.

Almost 30 years after Sir Terence Conran first imagined Bluebird as a London ‘gastrodrome’, the iconic restaurant is rediscovering its British identity. Michelin-starred Miller Prada and Executive Head Chef Owen Sullivan lead a new menu where Marmite tart, railway mutton curry and Bloody Mary steak tartare give British classics a modern edge.

Just in time for World Kebab Day, Tagine & Grill has opened permanently at The Sun & 13 Cantons in Soho, bringing Moroccan charcoal cooking, open flatbread kebabs, vibrant sharing plates and weekly-changing tagines to one of London’s most energetic dining neighbourhoods.

Seabird is bringing the Balearics to Southwark this summer. Partnering with historic tequila house Herradura, the rooftop restaurant has unveiled a Mediterranean-inspired series featuring summer plates designed for sharing, bespoke tequila cocktails, panoramic city views and DJ sets curated by BBE Music. It's London's latest excuse to linger from long lunch to late-night drinks.

Liverpool Street is no longer just somewhere to rush through. From Michelin starred cooking and standout steakhouses to exceptional sushi and some of London's most exciting new restaurant openings, this part of the City has quietly become one of the capital's best dining destinations. Here's where to eat around Liverpool Street right now.

To celebrate its 200th anniversary, Old Pulteney has unveiled the oldest whisky in its history: a remarkable 50 Year Old, alongside a new 30 Year Old expression. The Knife travelled to Wick for an unforgettable two-day journey through Scotland's Maritime Malt, discovering why the sea, the people and 200 years of patience are present in every remarkable sip.

After a £10 million restoration, Bromley's historic Royal Bell has reopened as one of South East London's most ambitious hospitality destinations. Combining an all-day restaurant, artisan café, pizza kitchen, boutique hotel, members' club and live entertainment beneath one Grade II-listed roof, it's proving that heritage buildings don't just deserve preserving, they deserve filling with great food, great company and new stories.
