EDITOR'S LETTER

We thought we'd get ahead of the game today. It's British Sandwich Week next week, but a full week's sarnie ordering needs planning. From banh mi in Dalston to baps in Billingsgate and toasties in Borough we've racked up our step count to bring you the ultimate London sandwich guide.

Talking of games, there's a rather large tournament kicking off in the not too distant future and that also requires pre-planning, hence our round up of places to book to watch the World Cup.

Catherine, Editor - Hot Dinners
