Patty & Bun has an industrial, DIY, raw look with its interior decorations and the burgers are ‘bangin’. If you, like many of us are looking to tick off as many awesome burgers in the city as possible, this needs to be your next stop. The discerning owner puts his all into every burger that’s created.

Entertainment & Activities
In this country we love tea. That is a fact that nobody can deny. Tea, and the hug in a mug that it gives you, cannot be rivaled by any drink. Here, you can find out about the history of this British staple! At Twinings on the Strand you’ll find a museum looking at everything tea-related along with a loose leaf tea bar with as many weird and wonderful teas that you can think of. Oh, and English Breakfast tea of course.
