Honest Burgers South Kensington is a burger restaurant at 24 Thurloe Street, moments from the Underground station and major museums. The informal room and outdoor tables make it useful before or after the Natural History Museum, Science Museum or V&A. Lunch and dinner are served every day.
Beef is sourced from Great Britain and Northern Ireland, then chopped rather than finely minced in Honest’s own butchery. This gives the burgers a tender texture that can still eat more like a steak. Every burger comes with handmade chips, double cooked and finished with rosemary salt.
The South Kensington local burger combines halloumi, bacon, family recipe tzatziki, pickled onions and rocket with a choice of beef, double smashed beef or fried chicken. Vegetarian and plant based burgers, chicken and smaller children’s meals give families and mixed groups useful alternatives. Sides, wings and homemade sauces add further choice.
Local beer, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts round out the menu. The restaurant accepts bookings in some circumstances while continuing to welcome walk ins, and it offers collection and delivery. Guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements should use the current menu information and speak with staff before ordering.
Address: 24 Thurloe Street, South Kensington, London SW7 2LT, England
