Living in London, you cannot go without eating fish and chips at least once every few weeks if not every week. It is your staple good ol’ British meal. But too much of it and you can easily see your waistline balloon to double its size! Talking of fish and chips, one place that came to mind was Poppies. Anyone who wants to experience the diner experience of the 1950s and authentic fish and chips should visit this place.

From the jovial man who greets you to the retro outfits the waitresses wear, this place is an experience.

From their humble beginnings in 1945 to being the finalist in The National Fish & Chip Awards 2013- Pops Newland (the man behind Poppies) means business!
