Whether you're exploring what the city has to offer for the first time or it's your first day at LSE, you deserve some delicious food. Don't know where to start? Here's a simple plan we recommend for a food tour across campus, so you can discover a few new spots that could turn out to be your new favourites.
Brekkie break
8:45am
Worked up an appetite on your morning travels? We know the perfect place to grab your caffeine fix - The Shaw Café! Located in the heart of Lincoln's Inn Fields - the largest public square in London - our cosy café is one of the first eateries you'll come across, making it a go-to stop-off spot. From flaky pastries to healthy yoghurt pots, there's plenty of plant-based breakfast items to choose from.
Grab a cup of quality, direct trade coffee supplied by Union Coffee (which comes from farmers committed to sustainable agricultural practices and labour rights and tastes delicious) or tea paired with a croissant for just £1.50 in our early bird breakfast offer.
Lets go for lunch
12:30pm
Looking for a hidden gem in central London? Check out the trendy basement of LSE Garrick for affordable and flavoursome Asian dishes by Kimiko. Think freshly-prepared street food, curries and fresh fish - with lots of vegan and veggie options too. Ran by our head chef and manager John who believes 'the whole journey from supplier to customer counts', you know no matter what you order will be nutritious and delicious.
With a mix of communal tables and more intimate booths, this is a great place to get chatting and meet new people over tasty food or savour it in relaxation.
Dine in for dinner
5:30pm
From late lectures to not having the energy to cook, we've got your back. Save yourself the hassle by heading to the Fourth Floor Restaurant for an evening meal that's significantly cheaper than your average supermarket meal deal. Between 3:30-6:30pm you can sink your teeth into our chefs' daily homemade hot dish with salad for only £2.50!
With a wide variety of cuisines available during the day - all made fresh - here you can try a new dish every single day.
