Chicken Shop
If anything could entice food guru Gwyneth Paltrow back to London, it’s the glorious fried chicken at this north London outpost. She was spotted here with Michael McIntyre.
Open until midnight, 79 Highgate Road, NW5, chickenshop.com
Balans
The pop star’s choice. Lady Gaga, Jamelia and Ms Dynamite all pick up here. The burgers are organic, of course, but they also do American pancakes — perfect for those homesick for Hollywood food.
Open until 6am Fri-Sat, 2am Sun, 60-62 Old Compton Street, W1, balans.co.uk
Beirut Express
Nigella Lawson is a fan of the succulent lamb shawarma and Justin Bieber also gets his kebabs here when he’s in town.
Open until 2am, 112-114 Edgware Road, W2, maroush.com
Bella Vita
Pixie Geldof has been seen tucking into their pizzas and it’s a handy pitstop for Michael Fassbender, who often drinks in the Sebright Arms on nearby Hackney Road.
Open until 11.30pm, 53-55 Broadway Market, E8, bellavitabroadway.com
George’s Portobello Fish Bar
A local landmark since 1961, George’s counts Jamie Oliver as a regular. Unlikely chip fan Victoria Beckham has also been spotted.
Open until 11.30pm, 329 Portobello Road, W1
