1251, London

Nestled near Angel underground station, 12:51 is where James Cochran, winner of Great British Menu 2018, shares his culinary creations with London's most demanding foodies. The dining concept was awarded two AA Rosettes and praised by the Michelin Guide, standing out thanks to its Scottish-Caribbean edge. Diners can enjoy fish, meat and vegetarian dishes, or trust the chef's mastery and opt for a tasting menu, with a well-stocked bar offering matching wines and out-of-the-box cocktails. The two-floored dining hall features cosy, narrow passageways and wooden accents, all underscored by record sleeves and local artists' work adorning the walls.
