Aside from the most famous "fish and chips," London actually has many renowned seafood restaurants. Travelers who enjoy cooking can also explore local seafood markets, which offer an abundance of fresh choices in generous portions.

After being expertly prepared by seasoned chefs and paired with sangria, it’s simply delightful.
