London Fish ‘n Chips can be found across the street from Kennedy Park on Hesperian Boulevard in Hayward. It’s inside a dingy, dated shopping center that characterizes miles and miles of territory along that route. I’d never even seen the place, much less heard of it; my friend Jon introduced us, touting it as an old family favorite of his. And so we went.
This place is pretty classic as far as fish ‘n chips go. Old, dark, not modern, no atmosphere to speak of. It’s very small, so I was able to photograph the entire place in just a couple shots; see for yourself.

The menu was simple and pretty cheap. I was there with a few people and we all seemed to keep it standard and order some classic fish and chips. It’s an order at the counter place and they do actually have two beers, I believe, on tap. the entire place is so simple it’s almost hard to find enough to type about.
Menu at London Fish ‘n Chips.
The food was good, probably about on par with Jay’s; the only reason I’d choose Jay’s over London is that (a) the atmosphere at Jay’s is far superior and (b) there’s a choice of type of fish at Jay’s that far surpasses that of London. I think London was cheaper though, which was kind of amazing.
Fried fish!
