According to the Evening Standard<\/a>, Deliveroo<\/a>\u2019s analysis reveals that the closer to the city centre, the healthier the food is.

In Kensington, French dishes top. In Islington the number one choice Is kebab and in Lambeth and Hackney, citizens order alcohol with their food more often than the rest.<\/p>\n
