Cast your mind back a couple of years ago and the emergence of the gourmet burger in this country, particularly London. I contributed my two pennies with a burger shoot-out of my own last year, pitching some of the well regarded burger bars against one another. Since then, the momentum for sleek burgers have subsided.

the union chilli burger
This is the beginning of the search for the top burgers in london.
It’s no real secret that burgers have slowly been devouring the capital in the past few years and I think it’s only appropriate for me to highlight some of the burger bars which are ever-present around town. On this outing, I chose to try five places:
- Gourmet Burger Kitchen – the original posh burger bar now serving buffalo.
- Burger Shack- smollensky’s take on the ol’ bun.
- Hamburger Union – One of the few which serves a steak burger.
- Hache Burgers – Self anointed connoisseurs and aspiring to be the best.
- Byron Hamburgers – proper burgers and nothing else.
Who has the best beef? Which bun can soak up the most juices? Which one serves the biggest shakes and just who exactly serves the best burgers in london.
