  • Hi, I'm Gordon Ramsay,

  • Chef, Restauranteur, 24 restaurants across the globe. There was only one place

  • to learn how to cook properly when I was 19 and that was London.

  • My first impressions of South London was extraordinary and this is why I fell in

  • love with

  • Albert Bridge. I mean, it looks stunning doing the day,

  • and nighttime it's picturesque. For me

  • London was the most fascinating place to be

  • as a 19-year-old because it gave me character

  • and they gave me nostalgial, history,

  • probably gave me a lot of confidence. Whenever we're returning from a long trip,

  • the first thing we do is go out for a great curry. Brick Lane.

  • I mean it's its phenomenal. it's like a little Bombay down there. Some

  • industry beyond belief. Walking down Brick Lane,

  • eating the most amazing curry. And trust me, even with three Michelin stars

  • and renowned for some of the finest food in the world, you can't beat

  • a good London curry. And Borough Market, that's when I feel that I've

  • reconnected with London when I'm back there. There's something quite vibrant and exciting for

  • youngsters growing up in London.

  • the culture, whether it's the Tate Modern one day,

  • or an an ice rink the next, even though I wasn't born here,

  • I feel like this is my home. I look at my four young children today and

  • the knowledge they have, just in terms of the

  • advantages of growing up in London

  • I can go literally to St Pauls, they can shoot over to

  • Borough Market. They've all got their bus passes

  • I love London Transport. Something unique, because no matter how many countries

  • globally who try to replicate what London has, no one can copy it. You may

  • get close but you'll never get the real deal unless you're here.

  • Shall I let you into a little London secret? The best place for the

  • ultimate London fry-up is a 24-hour greasy spoon cafe on the Fulham Road called

  • Vingt-Quatre, the place is phenomenal. Trust me,

  • there's nowhere better to eat anywhere in the world than London.

  • Done
