London Restaurants
London is unlike the other capitals of Europe in its attitude towards food. Outside of England, meals are occasions, and cooking is an art. The restaurants in Rome and Vienna and Paris are restaurants-and not mass-production, plate-Iunch joints. In London, on the other hand, chain restaurants abound, standardized places, serving fast meals, cheap.
With great despair, I recommend that you eat in these inexpensive chains, while in London, and save your money for the better meals available in France and Italy. Cooking is a lost art in Great Britain. At least for one meal a day, then, stop in at any of the major British chains-the Lyons Corner Houses, the Lyons "Tea Houses," the Chicken Inns, the Model Inns, Forte's, the Express Dairies, the A.B.C.'s, Stewarts, Fullers-they're scattered all across the city, and you needn't spend more.
