This is the best burger in London. You could easily stop reading here, and spend the next two minutes brushing your hair and staring at yourself in the mirror or something. But if you need to be convinced further, we’ll indulge.

Bleecker Burger started as a market stall, and their ‘restaurant’ (really, more of a counter) in Victoria is their first bricks-and-mortar operation. It’s the single best reason to come to Victoria - definitely more so than a Cronut or catching a train.

As for the burger, it’s ridiculously simple, but it is also nothing less than perfect, no matter how you take it. We love the double cheeseburger, and the Bleecker Black has a slice of black pudding thrown on too, just in case you really hate your cardiologist. They also have a few milkshakes, cold craft beers in the fridge, and a couple of counters for you to sit and eat at.

Need any more convincing? Didn’t think so. Please carry on with whatever you were doing. Your hair looks lovely.

Double Cheeseburger

Two patties, two slices of melty American cheese and a soft white bun. Totally simple and totally perfect.

Bleecker Black

As with the double cheese, with a puck of black pudding sandwiched between the beef. Ridiculously over the top and very tasty, but the extra cost isn’t proportional to extra pleasure. We’d stick with the former.
