Cooking in a Serviced Apartment: Easy London-Inspired Meals You Can Make
One of the best things about choosing a serviced apartment over a hotel is the freedom to cook. With your own fully equipped kitchen, you don’t have to rely on takeaways or expensive restaurant meals every day. Instead, you can enjoy fresh, home-cooked dishes that not only save you money but also give you a taste of London life.
If you’re staying with us, here are some easy London-inspired meals you can make right in your apartment kitchen, plus tips on where to shop for ingredients near our properties.

1. A Traditional English Breakfast

Start your day the London way with a hearty breakfast. All you need are sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast. It’s a simple meal to prepare, and it gives you the fuel you need for a day of exploring the city.

2. Fish Finger Sandwich with a Twist

While fish and chips is London’s most famous dish, you can whip up an easy version in your apartment. Toast a soft roll or sourdough bread, add crispy fish fingers, and top with tartar sauce and crunchy lettuce.

3. Jacket Potatoes with London Flavours

Baked potatoes (or “jacket potatoes” as Londoners call them) are a quick and filling meal. Simply bake large potatoes in the oven and load them with toppings like cheese and beans, tuna and sweetcorn, or leftover curry.
Where to Shop Nearby:
  • Harlow (CM20): Harvey Centre shopping area (Asda, Tesco, Iceland)

4. A Simple Curry Night

London is famous for its curry houses, especially in Brick Lane. With just a few ingredients from the shop — curry paste, coconut milk, chicken or vegetables — you can recreate a quick curry in your apartment kitchen.
Where to Shop Nearby:
  • Whitechapel (E1): Whitechapel Market for fresh spices, Asian vegetables, and halal butchers
  • Stratford (E15): East Asian supermarkets at Westfield Stratford City

5. Afternoon Tea at Home

Why not treat yourself to a DIY afternoon tea? Pick up scones, clotted cream, jam, finger sandwiches, and a box of English breakfast tea. Arrange it in your apartment for a charming experience without the price tag of a hotel tea room.
