Local perspective
A huge city, lived in a small radius
Most Londoners get through the week within a mile or two of home: the flat in Kentish Town, the office in Canary Wharf, the gym by the Overground station. Crossing the river for a haircut rarely makes sense, so every pick shows its address, and we note how far mobile trades are willing to travel.
Before choosing
How we pick for you
Each list starts with one question: if you needed this in London today, whom would you want to ring? Our answer is a specialist, with customers who’d use them again, a phone line that gets answered and an address within easy reach. We revisit every list to keep it that way.
