About our rating systemHoused in a former metal box factory a short walk from Tate Modern, the industrial-feeling and cheerfully casual Caravan is always busy but glows with the joie de vivre of quality ingredients and flavorful combos. It roasts its own coffee (and does a brisk business on that alone) and bakes its own goods—the jalapeño cornbread is moist and kicky—and pushes its tapas-size dishes into fun flavor realms like coconut-lime chicken salad, sourdough pizzas, hearty veggies-and-chutney bowls, and bulgur-and-halloumi fritters.
The original location, cavernous but with a particularly pleasant patio, is found in the Granary Square shopping-and-dining development near the Regent’s Canal, a short walk north of King’s Cross station (1 Granary Square, N1; 020/7101-7661; Tube: King’s Cross St Pancras). There's also a branch near Covent Garden (30–35 Drury Lane, WC2; 020/3955-8500; Tube: Holborn).
