    You might want to check out **The Posh Chip**, located in Camden. They have a great selection of loaded fries, and while they don’t specifically advertise Northern Irish gravy chips, their gravy option has received positive reviews for its rich and savory flavor.

    Another venue to consider is **The Frying Squad** in Borough Market. They’ve been known to offer a variety of traditional chip shop dishes and could potentially whip up a version of the beloved Northern Irish gravy chip.

    Beyond specific restaurants, it may be worth connecting with local Northern Irish communities or social media groups in London. They often have a treasure trove of recommendations and may even share hidden gems that are off the beaten path.
