"Best Fish and Chips in London The Golden Hind in Marylebone is a standout among the hundreds of fish and chips places in London. The modest place has been around since 1918 and has had only a few owners in that time, mostly Greek and Italian immigrants. The cod is coated in a thin layer of batter, and fried to come out extra crispy, somehow escaping the fate of so many others: The crust doesn't fall off as you eat. The portions are generous."
