It's often hard to spot the join between old Middlesex and London when it comes to food and restaurants: there's the same diversity and fascinating mix of flavours, be it top-class Chinese food in Harrow or Michelin-starred French cooking in Twickenham.

Out towards Heathrow is London's 'Little India', congregated around Southall, with all manner of food producers, cultural hot-spots and a clutch of first-rate, totally authentic restaurants while elsewhere, neighbourhood restaurants feed their local population with British and European food.
