LOCAL GEM
Sporting Clube de Londres
Westbourne Grove
Tucked away next to the skate park just off Great Western Road is this local Portuguese gem. One part sporting club, one part restaurant, come here for seriously good vibes and authentic home cooking. The daily chalkboard outside tells you about the specials, and there’s always goblets of sangria and cold Sagres that take you to warmer climates. The prices are reasonable, the crowd is very, very local, and it’s not fancy, but that’s the charm. On a sunny day, even in the winter, you can usually sit outside, and when it’s colder, move inside to take in the twinkling lights and sporting décor.
