HAMMERSMITH. This gastropub is well-known for its fish, which comes fried, roasted, or poached. The relaxed, old-fashioned setting allows for optimal enjoyment of the extensive menu, especially if you aren't in a hurry – service is famously relaxed. In addition to classics such as fish and chips, oysters and prawns, the place serves more complex dishes like foie gras, pigeon and prune terrine or calf's liver à la veneziana. The list of puddings is inviting, and outdoor seating is available in the summer. TUBE: Ravenscourt Park

KENSINGTON. At this popular Notting Hill chippie, Mediterranean-themed decor and an eclectic clientele in no way anticipate the classic British delicacies that await. Indeed, folks clamor in to savor crisp-fried cod, sole, and haddock daily, all served with Costas' famous chips. However, authentic Greek dishes like fried calamari, hummus, and homemade baklava also get strong nods. If it's too crowded inside, have no fear: take-away orders taste just as good in a shaded park or at a sidewalk table. TUBE: Notting Hill Gate

ISLINGTON. Known for its antique-filled, Victorian ambiance and excellent food, this organic gastropub has what is perhaps London's most extensive menu. In fact, you'll find everything from light salads to club sandwiches to ribeye steaks in balsamic marinade. Fish and chips is the traditional way to go, but there are inventive dishes too, such as venison, chocolate and juniper berry stew. Another big draw is the conservatory. TUBE: Angel

CITY. Scouring London can be a draining proposition, so why not fuel yourself with a traditional British meal of deep-fried cod, haddock, skate, or plaice and some sinful, hand-cut chips? If that sounds good, steer yourself to this highly recommended eatery, where fresh seafood is always on the menu and the setting is far more upscale than your run-of-the-mill chippie. If fish and chips doesn't tickle your fancy, consider duck confit, grilled wild halibut with béarnaise sauce, or poached smoked haddock with mashed potatoes. Terrific wine list. TUBE: Angel

KENSINGTON. One of London's most famous fish and chips restaurants, Geale's has been around since 1939. In that time, it has built a solid reputation for what it does best: fish soup, crisp-battered fresh fish, and mushy peas (a local favorite). Additional menu items include prawn cocktail and lobster, ensuring that even finicky palates will find something to their liking. Even so, fish and chips continue to be the mainstay, and the popular sunken chocolate cake also has plans to stick around. The tidy Notting Hill room spot is cheerfully decorated.

MARYLEBONE. With a decor that suits its name (just take a look at the buttercup-hued walls, decorated with dozens of autographed celebrity photos), this Marylebone eatery has been a neighborhood fave since it first opened during WWI. Traditional British "delicacies" like fried haddock, cod, and mushy peas headline the menu and share space with tasty Greek specialties and even fresh mussels. A word to the wise: many locals consider Golden Hind's fish and chips to be the best in London. TUBE: Bond Street

HAMPSTEAD. Billed as one of the best places in West Hampstead to grab a quick bite, Nautilus offers patrons – some of whom can recall the place's earliest days in the '40s – a cozy setting and fish and chips so tasty they never want to go home. In addition to fabulous fried haddock and fresh seafood, the accomplished kitchen serves satisfying Mediterranean dishes to folks who want something besides seafood. TUBE: Kilburn

NOTTING HILL. Prince Bonaparte is known locally as a gastropub, which means it combines colorful pub atmosphere with food that's well above average. 180-degree windows and a large, dramatic bar contribute to its appeal. Fish and chips is a classic, as are bangers and mash. If you're in the mood for something more upscale, consider duck with carrot and ginger puree. A great range of beers including Guinness and John Smith are on tap – this is a pub, after all – but there's a nice wine list as well. Good food, good atmosphere, and good prices. TUBE: Royal Oak

COVENT GARDEN. In addition to its clever name and a great location near the Covent Garden tube, this restaurant boasts good, inexpensive food. Chips here are fantastic – large and crisp without being oily – and fish is fresh and thickly battered. The ambiance is basic, but proximity to the theater district has given the owners decorative inspiration, and theater posters liven things up admirably. Plenty of beers and a few unusual wines too. TUBE: Covent Garden
