\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

I have spent many years exhibiting at trade shows in London and have tried all sorts of restaurants near the Business Design Centre in Islington during that time. The list that follows is not exhaustive, as London has a huge selection of great restaurants. These are some of my own favourite restaurants close to the Business Design Centre. I am not a food critic, just a regular business visitor to the BDC. I enjoyed eating at all of them though and hope you do too.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

1. The Gate on St. John Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

This place is a must for vegetarians and vegans looking for a good vegetarian restaurant near the Business Design Centre. It’s the award winning younger sibling of the original The Gate in Hammersmith. The menu is delicious and the service is excellent. There’s a good selection of options and the decor is inviting and warm. It’s very popular though, so it’s worth booking in advance.<\/p>\n

\"Bills<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Bills Restaurant on White Lion Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been a fan the original Bills in Lewes<\/p>\n

for many years, so it was a pleasure to find an outlet of this expanding restaurant chain a short walk from the Business Design Centre in Islington. It’s the perfect place to stop for breakfast on the way in. I highly recommend their porridge with bananas, hazelnuts and honey. They also do a seriously delicious eggs benedict and eggs florentine. For lunch and dinner they offer a good range of tasty food for a variety of diets, including vegeterians.<\/p>\n

\"Thai<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Thai Square\u00a0<\/strong>opposite the Business Design Centre<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

This award winning thai restaurant is popular with Business Design Centre visitors as it’s right across the road on Upper Street. It has a vibrant atmosphere and extra rooms to cater for larger groups. Service is fast and friendly and the food tastes good. It’s reasonably priced and a nice option if you like Thai food or have a larger group with you. Book ahead as it can get busy.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

4. The Elk in the Woods<\/strong><\/p>\n

This gastro pub is tucked down a little alleyway called Camden Passage off Charlton Place (the side street opposite the Business Design Centre). It serves a great veggie breakfast in the morning and cocktails in the evenings. There are a good range of menu options and it’s a great secret local haunt if you like places off the beaten track. Plus it’s still very near the Business Design Centre.<\/p>\n

\"Byron<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Byron Burgers opposite the Business Design Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

This restaurant is on my list because it’s a fun place to go and is right across the road from the Business Design Centre. It’s easy to miss because of the shabby appearance of the building, but the food is great and very affordable. They even have a delicious Portobello mushroom burger for vegetarians. It can get busy, but I found their service to be pretty quick and they have spare space upstairs. The burgers are made from freshly ground Scottish beef and said to be excellent.<\/p>\n
