I had some great fish and chips (6.5 gbps) in an old Bloomsbury pub called Cities of York, right on High Holborn.
Great Samuel Smiths stout and bitters, too.

fyi...sadly dionysus had a fire and has been shut for a year now. it's a real shame because it had a great post-theatre location and was open late but i hear seashells is the best around.

That is terrible about Dionysus

I'm just going to post on chowhound.com - much more locals on there and the whole site is devoted to food...Plus, I am convinced that if there is a Chippy in zone 5 near North Harrow tube that my B&B host is so proud of, there has got to be more!

I appreciate those who tried to help - but maybe I am just having a harder time expressing what I am looking for than I though (twoflowers, were you making your comments to me? - I am confused. I never said I wanted a sit down restaurant- of course, many of the "chippys" have bar stools and a counter)

I am back to my original comment. LOL! (Full circle) I have read MANY articles about all the "real" and good Fish and Chips bars in the suburbs of London... but getting anyone to name those places is like pulling teeth.

I forgot to mention - and I am VERY SOrry - there were some good leads on here and I will check it out!

Ps, I didn't meant to sound rude before. - I will be visiting other places in England, so I am sure I will be well fed in Fish I don't plan on eating greasy food 24/7 anyway ... I also have to get my fix of Indian food!!
