Whilst there are a lot of American traditions that go against our British values, such as talking to strangers and tipping everyone, we are all for their greasy but delicious grub. We’ve all imagined sitting in a 1950s diner, sipping on a milkshake and nibbling on hot wings. Right? Even if you haven’t, it’s time you started because the American Dream isn’t all too far away from your front doorstep, with some great American Diners all over South London!
