28 London restaurants have been named among the best in the world

London is jam-packed with excellent restaurants. And we should know: from our ranking of the city’s finest eateries and list of the best new restos to our guide to the capital’s essential cheap eats, Time Out has a London restaurant (and food guide) for every occasion.

The latest to shout our city’s culinary praises is Parisian restaurant guide La Liste. Sort of like a data-driven Michelin Guide, La Liste compiles the results of thousands of guidebooks, publications and reviews from around the world, putting together a list of the 1,000 best restaurants on the planet.

La Liste 2024 has been officially unveiled – and no less than 29 London establishments made the cut. That’s right, 29!

The highest-ranking place in the guide was Core by Clare Smyth, which had a score of 98.5 out of 100. You can read our review of Core here. As you’d expect, La Liste mostly features famously well-regarded restaurants – you’re unlikely to find any hidden gems in there.
