Previously known as the not-so-cool sibling of its neighbouring areas Soho and Marylebone, Fitzrovia hasn't always been a foodie hotspot for Londoners. Just north of the bustling, tourist-laden Oxford street, Fitzrovia's peaceful charm has recently attracted some big culinary names however, and is now full of some of the best food that this city has to offer.
Incredibly diverse in terms of its foodie offerings, Fitzrovia is home to a range of cuisines one could only dream of. From fluffy Taiwanese buns to heavenly Danish pastries, there's something for everyone in this London neighbourhood - that's why we've rounded up the best places in Fitzrovia to make your way through.
For those occasions when you want to grab a hot drink and quick sweet treat, this Scandinavian bakery is just the place to go. Named after the founders themselves, Ole and Steen joined forces back in 2008 to create a family of local bakeries across Denmark, making their way to London soon after and boy are we thankful.
Serving some of the best breads, pastries, sandwiches and cakes in town, be sure not to miss a slice of their infamous Cinnamon Social: A moist, melt-in-your-mouth Danish pastry filled with swirls of cinnamon and vanilla custard. Perfectly paired with a cup of their ethically-sourced, high quality coffee, Ole & Steen is the ideal pit-stop when making your way through the neighbourhood.
