Ed's Easy Diner

As a big fan of American culture, and a guilty, but habitual consumer of the food, this place scores high on my list of guilty secrets. Before our baby came along, myself and my husband frequented Eds Diner far too often in search of delicious, but not nutritious fast food. I am proud to say that since her arrival nine months ago, we have only been once, so I think we have definately passed the 'six weeks to break a habit' test! There are a few of these diners strategically dotted around London, but the one we tend to visit most is located in the shopping mecca which is Bluewater. Red leather-look booths, and shiny chrome stools ...  Read the complete review

I've lived in London for 29 years now and walked past Ed's Easy Diner at the end of Old Compton Street approximately 1,327 times without ever walking in. That all changed 3 weeks ago when hunger took over and my girlfriend fancied a change of dining pace. With in trepidation, we set foot within... Ed's looks, feels and smells like a diner.

Ed's is one of the best American retro diners i have come across anywhere in my time. Everything is perfect about Ed's right down to the waitresses outfits and the food. There are three branches of Ed's in London that i know of. Shaftesbury Avenue, Old Compton Street, Fulham Road. Out of those i have been to two, although they are all the same in terms of menu. As soon as you step through the swing door you are blasted by loud american rockabilly from the 50's and 60's. Buddy Holly seems to be the house favourite at all branches. All branches are kitted out with high bar stools with fat leather cushions in ...  Read the complete review
