Where Jamie Demetriou actually eats in London

comedian & actor · 11 picks

Where does Jamie Demetriou eat in London? Jamie Demetriou has named 11 places in London: Pavilion Broadway Market, Crisp W1, The French House, Towpath, Dough Hands East and 6 more. Each one is listed below in their own words, with the source.

Jamie Demetriou wrote and starred in Stath Lets Flats and has since turned up in everything from Fleabag to The Killing of a Sacred Deer. He is not a chef, and that is the interest of the list: it is where a Londoner who eats out constantly actually goes, and it runs from a Borough Market pasta queue to a Tamil pub in Islington.
