London is officially the UK's best city for foodies (but we already knew that)

Sometimes it feels like London is crowned as the best at something almost every week, and this week is no exception. Here at Thatsup we spend a lot of time thinking about food in London (and eating food in London), so it's no surprise to us that the capital has officially now been ranked as the best city in the country for foodies.

Women-only travel company Female Solo Traveler Tours did the research and looked at a range of data to determine the rankings. Criteria included the number of Michelin-starred restaurants in each city, the number of veggie- and vegan-friendly spots, and the numbers of places offering table service and food delivery. London came in at the top spot, with Edinburgh placing second and Brighton coming in third. Some cities you might not have expected also made the list, including Plymouth at number five and Reading in ninth position.

Whether you're a Londoner or a visitor, there's clearly lots to discover in the city for foodies. Check out our collection of restaurant and city guides to find the best places to eat, drink, shop, and enjoy foodie activities all over the capital.
