Where can I eat after midnight in London?

Late-night eating in London is genuinely limited compared to most major cities, but a few reliable options exist. Dishoom in Covent Garden serves until 11pm most nights, which doesn't help you, but the kebab shops along Edgware Road run well past midnight and are the real answer for quality late food: try Ranoush Juice or Maroush for shawarma and mezze until 3am. Chinatown on Gerrard Street has several restaurants open until 2am or later, particularly on weekends. For something more substantial, many branches of Breakfast Club and various Turkish restaurants in Dalston and Stoke Newington stay open late, and the Dalston area generally has the most concentrated late-night food scene outside central London. Borough Market's surrounding streets have 24-hour spots near London Bridge. Deliveroo operating until 2-3am covers most of Zone 1-2 if you have somewhere to receive it, which is honestly how most Londoners solve this problem.
