Occupying the site of an old pub (The Black Horse), Byron Proper Hamburgers dishes out just that: hamburgers done properly and without a hint of pretension. In fact, the burger I ate one evening--after pints at the pub down the road--was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Although a big and growing chain in England, quality of ingredients is a top priority. They source their beef from Scotland and grind daily, then cook to a nice, pink medium doneness. The perfectly cooked burger is placed on a soft bun, with a minimum of condiments. I ordered the "Chilli", which came with green chilli, American cheese, shredded iceberg and chipotle mayonnaise. For sides, you can get traditional French fries, UK-style chips, onion rings, cole slaw or macaroni and cheese.
A nice selection of UK craft beers is available to wash down the excellent, satisfying burger.
If you're an American staying in London, and are longing for a taste of home, Byron won't disappoint. read more
