This south London bar puts wagyu beef between its buns, making the tastiest, melt-in-the-mouth patties you'll find, and for under £10. The back-up Asian/ western fusion menu, the range of beers and wines, and the coffee are all top quality, too. In a city of golden arches and southern colonels, it's a revelation.

The place to head when the urge strikes. A hymn to 60s Americana, where location, styling and menu are in perfect harmony. The burgers are classic, the options simple - no focaccia buns on this list. Burgers are cooked to order, take two hands to hold - and you'll be glad of the plentiful napkins.
