"There’s something uniquely British about a brown wood, burgundy-hued, bungalow pub in Paddington where the carpets smell like the memories of a trillion pints too many. Only the food at The Heron isn’t remotely British, it’s some of the best Thai food you can get in London. Fierce, sour, and spicy seafood salads will do their best to keep you warm, but if not, an enormous bubbling tom yum will do the trick. It’s the perfect spot for a big group celebration—even if the karaoke and eccentric interiors of the past are no more—with its whopping pub garden and, most importantly, the rousing Thai food downstairs." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
