Whether you're looking for a quick bite that oozes juice from the wrapper, or a lavish sit-down feast with all the trimmings – London has it all. Discover the top burgers in London to satisfy your meaty cravings.
1. Black Bear Burger
Black Bear Burger is cheffing up some of the finest burgers the capital has to offer. The crowd favourite Miso Bacon Burger features a generous dollop of miso butter mayo and smoked bacon for an extra punch of flavour. Oh, and it won the 2025 National Burger Awards – no biggie. If you like chicken wings, make sure to add some to your order, you won't regret it.
2. Jupiter Burger
Gear up for an otherworldly experience at Jupiter Burger in trendy London Fields. This burger spot keeps it simple with two options on the menu – but do them really, really well. Born from the team at Dom's Subs, it should be no surprise that this new kid on the block has quickly climbed the London burger ranks with its smashed, well-seasoned patties, potato buns and moreish handcut fries.
3. Bleecker Burger
Head to Bleecker Burger at spots across the city for what many coin London's best burger. Keep it simple with a classic cheeseburger, go double or add bacon, or opt for the blue cheeseburger for a flavour combination that you'll yearn for until the next time you return (it won't take long). Pair with a malty shake to cut through the salty bites and you'll understand why this burger frequently appears in London's top burger ranks.
4. Patty & Bun
Patty & Bun started out as a 30-seat restaurant in Marylebone with the simple aim: to bring high-quality, incredible burgers to the streets of London. If you visit one of seven locations across the capital today, the chain preserves its independent spirit, with a cool yet unpretentious vibe and a menu of 10/10 burgers. Order The Don if you're really hungry, or opt for the Ari Gold with red leicester for something a bit different.
5. Beer + Burger Store
If you're looking for a lively spot to pair a cold craft ale with your meal, Beer + Burger’s King’s Cross branch is the one. As well as the classics, the small chain has a new special each month, kids meals, and a vegan burger made with two pea protein patties, vegan American cheese, "goop" sauce, onions and pickles. Top tip: order a side of the dipping gravy to plunge your burger into for an extra juicy bite.
6. Honest Burgers
Catch an Honest Burgers local special at locations including Soho, Kings Cross, Notting Hill and Oxford Circus. This small chain uses local ingredients to create specialties you can only find in each individual branch. The Borough Market burger features Brindisa chorizo and raclette cheese, while Covent Garden's special is topped with Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, bourbon barbecue sriracha sauce and crispy onions.
7. Supernova
One of Soho's newest arrivals, Supernova went viral on the simplicity of its offering – a 25-word menu that steers visitors towards one of the finest cheeseburgers in London. The House Cheeseburger is a smashed burger with house sauce, paired with fries and served in a stream-lined space that oozes contemporary class.
8. Dirty Bones
Bringing the flavours of the Big Apple to London, head to Dirty Bones Carnaby for great cocktails and finger-licking comfort food. Get your chops around the Mac Daddy burger, topped with pulled beef rib and – you guessed it – mac and cheese! With other restaurants in Soho and Shoreditch, you're never too far from an American-inspired feast.
9. Mother Flipper
Having started as a mobile van, Mother Flipper now has a permanent site in Brockley, south-east London, serving spectaculars like the Candy Bacon Flipper with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, red onion, pickle, American cheese and bacon fried in maple syrup. The mobile van still makes an appearance at Brockley Market every Saturday from 10am to 2pm.
10. MEATliquor
Ticking all the boxes for meat-eaters, MEATliquor – with several locations dotted around London – serves up perfectly cooked slabs of beef in a range of American-style combinations. The fan favourite is the Dead Hippie burger made with secret sauce, grilled with real butter and fries. Despite the name, veggies and vegans are catered for here too. Try the chick'nlicious impossible nuggets or black bean chili dog.
11. Burger & Lobster
When you see lobster and truffle on the list of burger toppings, you know you're in for a treat. The B&L burger is as upmarket as burgers come and you can only find it at Burger & Lobster. What started on a London rooftop is now a citywide sensation thanks to those two ingredients: Nebraskan farmed beef and Atlantic lobster. If you want to impress that special someone while satisfying your burger craving – book a table here.
