The best burgers in Covent Garden

Flat Iron may be best known for its signature steak, but its burger is a serious contender. The thick, pink-on-the-inside beef patty is slathered with rich béarnaise sauce before being placed between a fluffy bun. While Flat Iron's steak remains a top choice, the burger's size, value, and unbeatable flavours make it a must for those with a big appetite.
