Uncommon Food Spots

Lastly, food strips can be found in places as common as airports, too. Considering that millions of people pass through London airports everyday just like most major airport hubs around the world, these structures were built in a way that would also allow them to house a myriad of restaurants for famished travelers.

Gatwick Airport, for instance, is the busiest single-runway airport in the world, in need of many point of improvements in order to save passengers’ time. Along with security and immigration system improvement, which allows to process 95% of its passengers within five minutes, Parking4Less provides strategically placed car parks such as one in between Gatwick Airport’s terminals where parking options vary including short and long stay parking to help reduce vehicle congestion.

Given the volume of flyers coming through the air hub each day, shops and restaurants have sprung up to cater to customers’ needs. Among the gastronomic choices are South African casual diner Nando’s, Japanese food spot YO! Sushi, Wagamama with its Oriental vegetarian dishes, Wondertree with its diverse menu, and, of course, restaurants from English celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.

From food markets to dining centrals to inside infrastructures, food strips are prime destinations for sumptuous meals.
