Dirty Burger comes to Vauxhall

Dirty Burger. So simple. So tasty. So dirty.

This fast food joint has got it right. Their burger quite literally stands on a throne, superior to others putting many competitors to shame.


Shockingly, I write this blog post as a less than mediocre burger fan. I never would have ordered the cheese burger off the pub menu, and I still probably wouldn't do this day. At Dirty Burger the menu is simplistic - cheese burger or....cheese burger. So you can imagine I was a little wary of what to expect from my new local fast food restaurant.

It wasn't until my first bite that I fell in love with the place. Firstly, the brioche bun; this is a must for any burger. Secondly, the mouth-watering filling of beef, gherkin, tomato, lettuce, melted cheese and an incredible burger sauce to die for. It's steamed, packaged and ready for consumption.



Add some crinkle fries or onion chips for sides, and I recommend the vanilla milkshake to wash it all down.


You will only find Dirty Burger in Vauxhall or Kentish Town. Take your pick and plan your visit, you really don't know what you’re missing out on!

Vertigo 42

Vertigo 42 is one of the many bars with a view of London's skyline. Serving up delicious champagne cocktails and tasty sharing platters, Vertigo 42 is a great spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Located in the heart of the city in Tower 42, enjoy views of iconic buildings such as The Gherkin, St Paul's and the latest completion, The Shard.



These kinds of bars don't come cheap, so expect to pay a premium for food. Champagne cocktails average at £14 but are worth every penny. Recently, Vertigo 42 have partnered with Timeout to make the experience an affordable one for Timeout cardholders. You can sign-up for a free trial here.


It’s advised to book in advance. If possible get a sunset sitting, it makes for a great photo opportunity.
