London is home to hundreds of fish and chip shops, some better than others. But one, in particular, has been crowned London’s best by TripAdvisor yet again.

Sitting at the very top of the site’s ranking is The Golden Chippy. The Greenwich spot was opened in 2005, after Chris Kanizi arrived in London in 1977 to study medicine. He ended up an expert ‘fish surgeon’ instead, and since its opening, The Golden Chippy has become a local favourite.

Its reputation only grew after it was named London’s best restaurant on TripAdvisor in 2016, beating the likes of Claridge’s and The Ritz.

    Is the Seashell of Lisson Grove still a thing? that’s where our cabbie dumped us off when we asked him for the best chippy - albeit this was 1989, so… :/

        Seems 'bout right. All I remember (i was… 11) is we hopped in a black cab and asked the driver “where do YOU go for fish and chips”? and it was London black cabs double parked round the block.

        Best fish n chips I’ve ever had.

        If IT or The Golden Chippy are half as good as I remember, yeah I’d travel 90m for a chippy too.
