Why we recommend it

Poppies is a retro-styled fish and chip restaurant on Hanbury Street, just off Brick Lane, and one of four Poppies restaurants in London. The business traces its heritage to 1952, when its founder, known as Pops, set out to fry the best fish and chips in London.

Expect classic battered fish with chips, mushy peas, tartare sauce and the trimmings, served in a nostalgic dining room or wrapped to take away. It is a good-value stop while exploring Spitalfields Market, Brick Lane and the surrounding streets. Tables can be reserved through the website, and collection orders can be placed online. Liverpool Street and Aldgate East stations, and Shoreditch High Street Overground, are all within a short walk.
