8 of the 20

  1. The Waterman's Arms

    BarnesRiverside pub£££

    A wood-panelled pub on a leafy riverside corner of Barnes whose Sunday roast is the talk of west London. Order the lamb shoulder to share, with crisp potatoes and garlicky greens.

  2. The Camberwell Arms

    CamberwellGastropub£££

    Run by St. John alumni, this Camberwell pub saves its best for Sunday: whole roast joints for the table, a beef and marrow pie, and beer onions on toast to start.

  3. The Anchor & Hope

    WaterlooGastropub££

    The Waterloo gastropub whose formula the Clarence Tavern and the Canton Arms later followed: a proper bar up front and a dining room cooking big, generous British food. Plan around Sunday lunch.

  4. The Harwood Arms

    FulhamMichelin-starred pub£££

    A Fulham pub with a Michelin star, known for game: a venison Scotch egg at the bar, or a set menu of British cooking in the dining room.

  5. Hawksmoor Borough

    BoroughSteakhouse££££

    The Borough Market branch of London's own steakhouse group. On Sundays it roasts aged beef rump and serves it with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and bone marrow gravy.

  6. The Bull & Last

    HighgateGastropub£££

    A smart pub by Parliament Hill on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Walk the Heath, then sit down to the roast and a bottle of red.

  7. The Pig and Butcher

    IslingtonGastropub & butchery££

    A Victorian corner pub in Islington that butchers whole animals on site, which is why its Sunday roast (big cuts, proper crackling, all the trimmings) is so good.

  8. The Tamil Crown

    AngelTamil pub££

    A small pub by Angel cooking Tamil food all week. On Sundays it serves an Indian roast loaded with spice.
