Top dog: the best hot dogs in town
Craving a frankfurter? Look no further for a hot dog stop near you…
NORTH
BIG APPLE HOT DOGS
You can now get these excellent NYC-style dogs elsewhere, but we like this permanent spot. 34b Camden Lock Place, NW1 8AL. Camden Town.
EAST
MEAT MISSION
This dark, occult-graffiti-swirled former mission is from the crew behind Meat Liquor and Meat Market. The pimped-up hot dogs are worth the wait (it’s a no-bookings joint). 13-15 Hoxton Market, N1 6HG. Old St.
SOUTH
POTDOGS
Love dogs, hate buns? So does this market stall: dogs in chunks with potatoes, veg, sauces, relishes (Saturday 9am-4pm). Maltby Street Market, Ropewalk, SE1 2HQ. Bermondsey.
WEST
DIRTY BONES
Come here for retro interiors, a cocktail bar to chill at while you wait for a table, and a top-dollar dog. Our favourites: Classic Yankee and Brit Dog. 20 Kensington Church St, W8 4EP. Kensington High St.
CENTRAL
SHAKE SHACK
Bred in the USA, this is the only place in town where you can order a dog (as in ‘yum yum’) and buy a treat for a dog (as in ‘woof woof’). 24 Market Building, The Piazza, WC2E 8RD. Leicester Square.
