Restaurants for Dining Alone in London
There was a time when dining alone was considered awkward. But now, when more people have taken up careers or are living alone, London has witnessed an increase in lone diners. What was considered ‘weird’ is now considered a norm. Catching up with this trend, London restaurants have started special deals for lunches and dinners, targeting the clientage that prefers/needs to dine alone. So next time if your friend doesn’t pick your call, or your date ditches you at the last moment (which is more ‘awkward” than dining alone, per se), do not hesitate to visit one of the below listed restaurants that will make up for your lack of company with the delicious food they serve. And the best part? The environment provided will make you forget you’re dining alone.
