The coolest thing to be seen clutching in London right now? Well, apart from Charlotte Olympia's Christmas pudding clutch? A burger. Sure, the diner-menu fixture has been making appearances at tourist traps and late-night, neon-lit, ahem, establishments for a while, but we're not talking fast food, here. As MEATliquor proved, Londoners are willing to wait for their burgers — two shivering hours on a Monday evening, to be exact.
Whether it's due to the bite-sized buns; posh, bonemarrow-injected meat; or a giant patty quivering with the weight of pickles (no cutlery allowed), the fancy-pants burger is most definitely back. And four new burger joints are throwing some healthy competition into the meaty mix. Read on to get acquainted early.

Patty&Bun
Don't you love it when a pop-up goes permanent? Patty&Bun's concept is simple, just like its name: A small menu of patties, made lovingly from grass-fed Aberdeen Angus and lathered with P&B's special homemade mustard-mayo. Now that's a happy burger.
