London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. While the culture, fashion, and music are always cutting edge, the city dates back to the Roman Era. London has many popular attractions that bring tourists to the city, like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the Skywheel. But a vacation isn’t all about the attractions. When visiting a foreign country it can be fun to try the local cuisine. British fare is very different from what Americans typically like to eat. They are not as fond of spices and seasonings in the UK. So when you get tired of Bubble & Squeak, Beef Wellington, and fish and chips, you just might want a taste of home. What could be more American than crispy, juicy fried chicken? Well, maybe apple pie. We have put together this list for you of the 10 best spots for fried chicken in London to help you satisfy your cravings for American food.

London Tour Guide
Robert Woolf
I am a London tour guide and my tours include talking about people who have shaped the city plus the many connected places such as Hampton Court Palace, The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the commercial centre of the city: the City of London, and London’s world class museums and galleries. I have been guiding for 12 years. I am a licenced London Blue Badge Tour Guide, a City of London Guide, and a Westminster Guide. The reviews I receive from clients speak of their enjoyment from the local knowledge and the humour I bring to my tours. Born within sight of Hampton Court Palace, I am a Londoner and apart from 2 years in the Middle East, I have worked in this capital city all my business and tour guiding careers. I have travelled widely and I appreciate what appeals to visitors coming to London. I can tailor my tours to interest children. I guide couples, families and larger tour groups. I particularly enjoy visits to Westminster Abbey, where I also volunteer guiding students and children through its wonderful interior – on my tours you will hear about monarchs, why scientists and poets are remembered, the architecture and religious history. The Abbey is the story of England. Come on an engaging and fun tour with me. There is so much to show you !

5. Mother Clucker
Mother Clucker was born in a converted US Army ambulance located at the Old Truman Brewery. They now have four other locations and recently joined a collaboration with Honest Burgers. Their secret is that the chicken is tea-brined, drenched in buttermilk and breaded twice before they fry it. They use a Cajun spice blend in the batter, and to toss their fries, so it does have a bit of heat. The most popular item on the menu is their chicken strips and fries, or if you have a big appetite you could try one of their mammoth sandwiches.
