For those that have been salvating at the Covent Garden hoardings of the impending Shake Shack opening the wait is finally over!

Shake Shack's first non-US restaurant has officially opened in Central London's uber busy Covent Garden.

Those wishing for the authentic US experience will not be disappointed, the burgers are just as delicious as the original US burgers. The other great thing about the new London restaurant is that Shake Shack have taken the time to source their ingredients fairly locally with all the Aberdeen Angus beef coming from Scotland. There's also some UK specific "collaborations" in the form of a Cumberland sausage hot dog using a rare breed pork sourced from Sillfield farm in Cumbria. Deserts like the 'Drury Lane Jam' and the 'Big BlENd' also see ingredients coming from the nearby St. JOHN Bakery.

If you've visited Shake Shack in the US you already know what you're going to get, if you haven't then you're in for a treat. Even the vegetarian 'Shroom burger is pretty impressive!

Granted, if you're only in town for a couple of days this might not be the most "London-centric" place you could stop off for a burger but if you do find yourself in hungry in Covent Garden you could do a lot worse.
