These London Milkshakes Will Bring All The Boys to The Yard
These shakes are bananas, B.A.N.A.N.A.S . They’re also chocolate, strawberry and any number of flavours between. Welcome to London’s best shakes…
MeatMarket
Prepare to meat your shaker
This American diner, part of the Meat & Liquor chain, is great for an all-American burger or two, but don’t overlook the milkshakes (this is an article about milkshakes, remember). Made in partnership with teh Ice Cream Union, ‘No vegetable oil, no UHT, no crap and no fuss’ reads the menu. And with a simple selection of choc, strawberry, vanilla plus salted caramel, malt and malt chocolate they’re true to their word. Or even better, enjoy a little bit of fuss by making it ‘hard’ with options like Tennessee Maple (you guessed it, including maple syrup and Jack Daniel’s) and Black Forest, which includes cherry liqueur.
Where: Jubliee Market Hall, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 8BE

Maxwell’s Bar & Grill
Dinner at the diner was never finer than at Maxwell’s Bar & Grill, famous for its American fare and, more importantly, for its freakshakes. I’m sorry, freakshake? Yes, the highly Instagramable drinks come in 20 flavours like Unicorn Freakshake and Salted Caramel Donut Freakshake and they’re massive and crazy and delicious. This is milkshake done the way nature intended.

Ed's Easy Diner
Take it easy
Fire up the T-Bird, we’re off to the golden age of the diner: the 1950s. Ed’s Diner is a retro diner serving up real Americana. And, most importantly, milkshakes! Alongside all the usual diner stuff (burgers? Check! Hotdogs? Check! etc etc) there’s an impressive selection of shakes including flavours like butterscotch, lotus biscoff and white chocolate.

Swingers West End
Swing by
Hackney Gelato have teamed up with our favourite crazy golf destination (shhh, we also love all the crazy golf courses equally!) Swingers West End to launch a new ice cream bar with some brand new milkshakes which look as awesome as they taste. Flavours include caramel pop and choco o’ Oreo and, of course, you’ll want to go hard (as it were) with whisky and rum available.
