Believe it or not, there are actually some great roast dinners south of the Thames.
These are the current best roast dinners in south London:
The Gladstone Arms, Borough
Loved: Everything. Plump, juicy chicken, crispy roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkie and tons of flavour. Indian flavour.
Loathed: Well. Is it a roast dinner? It comes with a spicy sauce - not gravy. Your call I guess.

The Albany, Twickenham
Loved: Gravy was sensational - worth travelling for. Really tender lamb, freshly cooked roasties and yorkie.
Loathed: The vegetables were a bit ordinary, extra gravy came in a thimble.

The Selkirk, Tooting
Loved: Gravy was excellent and they even brought over a shot of gravy for dessert. Carrot and swede mash really creamy, and the un-crispy roast potatoes actually good.
Loathed: Nothing really...except they worked out who I was!

Whole Beast @ The Fat Walrus, New Cross
Loved: Tons of flavour. Smokey chicken, smokey hispi, wow gravy from the chicken juices that was actually thick - and sensational cauliflower cheese.
Loathed: Roast potatoes needed a bit of chuffing, but were crispy on the outside. Carrots and chicken possibly on the cheap side - chicken was notably thin in quantity (though still a whole chicken to share!).

The Abbeville, Clapham
Loved: 6 roast potatoes! And they were all crispy with a hint of thyme. Gravy excellent too, quite thick, a touch of red wine in flavour.
Loathed: Parsnips a little under-cooked, wasn't sure about the tough stick things that allegedly was celeriac.
