How we chose
We track 19 places in London filed under dim sum. Some of them turned up in creator videos we pulled apart. Places with a creator mention, a member save or a member gem rank first, and mentions weigh most. The rest runs on a broader popularity signal from our wider place index, so the tail of this list moves less than the top does. Last added to in March 2026.
