London has eaten seafood seriously since its days as a working river port, and the tradition survives in both white-tablecloth rooms and market counters. J Sheekey in Covent Garden is the theatreland classic, open since the 1890s, while Wright Brothers at Borough Market keeps the trade closer to its oyster-bar roots.
