Who said classic dishes can’t be luxury?

A classic American dish, the burger has been adapted worldwide to become a national favourite in most places – especially the U.K. However, if you’re based in the English capital and don’t feel like one from a local fast food joint, or greasy kebab shop – this is the list for you.

London-based apartment rental brand Essential Living has used data from TripAdvisor to reveal London’s most luxurious burger joints, based on their ‘fine-dining’ credentials. No polystyrene in sight!

So, without further ado, we bring you London’s most luxurious burger joints, according to burger fans on TripAdvisor:
