Whilst London’s restaurants will have to close their doors from Thursday, you can still enjoy the best of the city’s cuisine from the comfort and safety of your own home, as takeaways are still open.
In addition to the usual (but now no-contact) deliveries from companies such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats, a range of London’s eccentric eateries are shifting their focus from restaurant covers to home delivery.
From Anglo-Asian fusions to treats for your pup, here’s our list of places that deliver in south west London to keep you eating well during lockdown.
