I'm starting to wonder if we've all been had, myself as much as anyone.
Here is one of only two previous postings by the OP

wow, hahaha... this arguing is not necessary. This is her religion, its not up to you or me to critique it. Anyways, my friend eats vegetarian at normal restaraunts, but she enjoys meat, so we will go to a kosher restaraunt. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS! and by the way, i am not jewish, so if we went out, i would be the one paying.
And i didnt expect the kosher places to be open on friday or saturday, but i thought you guys would know for sure, so thanks!

Ruebens has good takeaway food and is close to Regent's Park. (They also have a restaurant.) It's open on Fridays in the afternoon but closes before sundown. There's a great veg restaurant nearby on the Marylebone High Street called EatAndTwoVeg. They both have websites which you can Google.
For additional restaurants, I find these two sites helpful for London:
www.london-eating.co.uk/
www.hardens.com
(you have to register but it's free)

Thats what I find funny about being Jewish. and our culture..we run from the very observant to the only going to Temple/Shul three times a year.. and everybody makes up their own rules. You can order Kosher food on plane flights..

Head for Golders Green, Temple Fortune (has a kosher Chinese) and Hampstead Garden Suburb.
Golders Green probably has more options for restaurants than the others which are good for take aways.
The supermarkets in Finchley all have Kosher sections, Tesco probably has the best selection.

Last year I flew to England and sat next to a Jewish couple and decided that I should also order a Kosher meal on flights (even though I'm not a Jew) - not only was there a lot more food than my meal but it looked freshly made. Also their meal was served first.

BA and some other airlines (though probably not most of US carriers) use Hermolis for kosher catering, which is generally deemed as one of the best (the other being El Al first and business-class).
Six-13 on Wigmore St closed down recently, leaving Reubens on Baker St and Bevis Marks in the City as the only two kosher restaurants in central London (both meaty). GG and Hendon have pleathora of kosher restaurants (though not HGS).
You can find DD's sandwiches at many supermarkets (Tesco/ Sainsbury). Selfridges has a small kosher food section.
The main London-based kashruth certifying organisations are London Beth Din (an equivalent of OU in the US), which publishes kosher food guide. http://www.kosher.org.uk/intro.htm
though there are others like Kedassia (more strict), Federation (KF logo on Tiptree jams), and Sephardi Kashruth (SKA logo on Kingsmill bread).
I must say I have not seen products carrying Manchester Badatz logo.

I've never seen an ongoing argument concerning kosher on this forum...especially one in which all "branches" of Judaism are somewhat defined. Hopefully, we have helped the OP to an acceptable degree.
So to the OP's kosher friend, and to all the practicing, non-practicing, partially-practicing, and those not in need of any further practice, I can only wish you, in the words of my Apache grandmother...
"zay gezunt, biz a hundert und tzvantsig!"

Caroline...forgive my aging eyes...I just didn't notice the date...but that did not seem to stop the large last batch of respondents, so the topic appears to have resonated.
Now to find out where there is an Imperial Russian restaurant in Chillicothe, Ohio.
