Food trucks are a viable option for budget tourists and also for people on the move who are short of time. This social phenomenon has taken London and many other places by a storm as it becomes convenient for most people to have top quality street food at a reasonable cost. Seven of the best street food vendors in London are the following.
Well Kneaded: With a social conscience, the two Wandsworth natives who are the motivators of this venture, offer amazing pizzas, or firebreads as they call them. A youth scheme is pursued as local Wandsworth kids work at the truck. The pizzas and calzone are excellent as they are straightforward and they have a charred sourdough crust and fresh, seasonal toppings. The truck is located in South London on Northcore Road in Clapham or are roaming around with the KERB collective.
Bleecker Street Burger: With an NYC origin, this food truck offers handmade patties that are griddled and topped with typical American cheese and secret sauce. These delicious burgers offer no frills. Their vans are all over the city, mostly at Spitalfields, Canary Wharf and the South Bank.
Anna Mae’s Mac N Cheese: Every batch of mac n’ cheese is made from scratch in giant cast iron skillets and loaded with awesome toppings like crispy bacon, chillies or homemade BBQ sauce. The bold GMC Vandura Burt Reynolds is seen at festivals, events and food markets.
Guests staying at Park Grand London Heathrow hotel get the advantage of a convenient location close to Heathrow Airport and comfortable accommodation with the best of facilities at affordable cost.
Capish?: Soprano style Italian-American street food can be enjoyed at this truck throughout the summer, serving sloppy joes and meatball subs.
For visitors to London who wish to stay in a luxurious accommodation with excellent facilities, close to the airport, it is best to stay at Best Western Hounslow.
Rainbo: In a converted 1948 Ford Pickup, Rainbo serves homemade gyoza dumplings and fresh, crunchy Asian salad. Set up by Xochi and Ben, the Rainbo owners still have their roots going back to their volunteering days, with 20p from every meal going towards their Food for Freedom initiative, which is aimed at helping to rescue and rehabilitate child labourers in Western Nepal.
You Doughnut: At this food truck that can be found at KERB, trading at Kings Cross, Maida Vale, UCLU markets and special events, you can get little doughy balls of heaven, laced with toppings and fillings ranging from their signature salted caramel to white chocolate, vanilla and cardamom, or good old maple syrup.
Wahaca Street Kitchen: A Mexican street food empire is being built by ex-Masterchef winner Thomasina Miers. Everything is ethically sourced at Wahaca so that you have a clear conscience when you share their tacos, stuffed burritos and quesadillas, washed down with fresh hibiscus water or a delicious tequila cocktail. Two roaming street kitchens are offered by them, one on the South Bank and the other near Canary Wharf.
