Street Food from London's best

We’re serving up big flavours and bold menus from independent traders who know how to feed a crowd.

Whether you’re walking along the South Bank and want lunch, grabbing a pre-show bite or settling in for the night, our rotating street food lineup delivers the goods.

The team at KERB have hand-picked our line-up, showcasing the diversity of London’s thriving food scene.

Festive specials

We’re getting into the spirit this Christmas with specials from two of our street food traders.

Sireli are dishing up a turkey pastrami, harissa chutney, stuffing and provolone sandwich, best dipped into gravy. 

For a true fusion of flavours, turn to MexClub’s Turkey Birria Torta – Mexican sourdough with turkey, brie cheese and onion chutney, served with pigs in blankets.
