From TikTok-famous cinnamon rolls to mortadella-packed sandwiches that flood your feed, London’s viral food scene is hotter than ever. Whether it’s the dish, the setting or the hype, these spots are drawing queues...and cameras. For buyers who care about food culture and living near the city’s most talked-about tables, Southern Housing New Homes locations are ideally placed in some of the capital’s liveliest neighbourhoods. 

Here’s a look at four viral food hotspots and the nearby SHNH homes that put you right at the centre of the action. 

Crisp Pizza - Hammersmith & Fulham

Near: Palliser Road 

Featured in GQ and praised across social media, Crisp Pizza has made serious waves with its small-batch, wood-fired pizzas served from a compact spot on Crisp Street. The appeal? Their chewy crusts, inventive toppings (like miso corn or nduja honey), and a low-key vibe that’s made for Instagram. Just around the corner, Palliser Road offers modern apartments in a well-connected part of West London, perfect for those who want city energy with a neighbourhood feel. 

Café Mondo - Peckham

Near: Glengall Rise 

This Peckham deli has become a TikTok obsession, thanks to its stacked focaccia sandwiches, crisp layers of mortadella, and house-made sauces. Café Mondo doesn’t just deliver on flavour, it nails the aesthetic too, with bright interiors and close-up sandwich shots made for your grid. Located just minutes away, Glengall Rise offers buyers a place to live in one of South London’s fastest-rising food and culture hubs. 

Roll Boys - Hackney

Near: Wickside 

Cinnamon roll lovers already know about Roll Boys based in Hackney’s Netil Market. These sky-high, caramel-drenched creations regularly sell out and have earned hundreds of thousands of views across TikTok and Instagram. Wickside, a new collection of East London homes from Southern Housing, is just a short walk away, offering a creative, connected lifestyle close to the city’s most in-demand treats. 

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries - Borough Market

Near: Argo House and Varcoe Corner 

In a market known for standout food, the chocolate strawberries at Borough Market have carved out their own fanbase online. These fresh berries are dipped in glossy, thick chocolate and styled for the camera, drawing food bloggers and day-trippers alike. For residents at Argo House and Varcoe Corner, these sweet treats (and dozens of other foodie finds) are just a short walk or tube ride away. 

Where Food Culture Meets Home

Southern Housing developments put you in the heart of London’s food story, not just near good restaurants, but next to the places setting the trends. For buyers who value lifestyle as much as location, this is where both come together. 

From the lively streets of Peckham and Hackney to riverside Hammersmith and historic Borough, these homes offer not just great value, but unbeatable access to the city’s most exciting flavours.
