LONDONERS'S PICKLE OBSESSION: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE

London is in the grip of a full-blown pickle renaissance and it's about so much more than just the classic jar. From Dalston to Mayfair, fermentation has become a culinary art form. Here's our curated edit of the best pickle destinations in London right now.

A Dalston restaurant that puts fermentation front and centre. They ferment everything in-house — vegetables, vinegars, kombucha, and the menu changes monthly. Order their charcuterie board
with house ferments.

THE PICKLE HOUSE

the best Bloody Mary of your life (Vanity Fair agrees)
