Sit at the counter at Scott's
The best seat in one of London's oldest fish restaurants is the one nobody fights for.
Everyone wants a table at Scott's. Take the counter.
Scott's has been on Mount Street in Mayfair since 1967, and it has the room to prove it: white tablecloths, people dressed better than you, an oyster bar in the middle like a stage. Ian Fleming was a regular. It feels like it.
We sat at the counter, the two of us, and it was the best seat in the house. You watch the oysters get opened, you talk to the people working, and nobody rushes you.
Order oysters and something cold to drink and let the rest happen. It's a splurge. It's also the most London lunch I know.
