    I’m visiting London in July for the first time.

    not looking do the usual tourist stuff, and looking for a few recommendations for some items on my checklist.

    1. best place to get fish and chips

    2. Looking to pick up a nice felt hat looking for a good hat shop

    3. also looking for a nice billiard hall to play pool one day

    thank you in advance for your recommendations

    Welcome: London has quite a few chip shops and covers an area of about 1000 square miles - how about you give an indication of where you are staying first ?

    For a civilised sit-down meal with fish & chips you could try one of the Ivy family (Chelsea or Kensington for example) - there are a few traditional fish & chip takeaways in that area such as at Worlds End in Chelsea - another option is a pub with sit-down fish & chips such as the Britannia in Kensington

    Pool/snooker/billiards could be a challenge in safety but really is outside my knowledge

    Not sure my sartorial expertise extends to felt hats but Peter Jones or Cordings might help
