Taylor Swift might have sang So Long, London but it seems the superstar isn’t done with the city just yet.
She’s back, bringing her record-breaking Eras Tour to Wembley Stadium for an impressive eight shows this summer, kicking off on June 21.
And while many might expect the singer to enjoy some of London’s finest food while she’s in town, she’s going to be tucking in to something a little different during the first leg.
That’s because her team have placed an order with Kentish Delight, a kebab shop in Kentish Town that Swifties will instantly recognise.
The unexpected location appeared in Taylor’s 2017 music video for End Game featuring Ed Sheeran and Future.

In the video, the singer-songwriter can be seen wearing a sparkly dress and blue fluffy coat, while enjoying a kebab. And according to staff at Kentish Delight, this is something she’s done in real life many a time.
Her go-to order is a chicken kebab, either doner or shish (she’s apparently had both), with extra garlic sauce.
As fans flock to London for the shows this weekend, many are also heading down to try out the order for themselves, and I decided to join them to see if Kentish Delight lives up to the hype.
I have to start off by saying that I’ve never actually ordered a kebab in my life. I’ve been to kebab shops after a night out, sure, but my go-to was always a portion of cheesy chips and that was that.
So, you could say this was a doubly important moment for me, as a foodie and a Swiftie.
The kebab shop is nestled on the high street, and aside from the selfie of a staff member with Taylor Swift in the window, the place is pretty unassuming.
Ahmed Khan, who runs the shop, is working on his own when I arrive, chopping cabbage for more kebabs. The last few days have been a whirlwind for him, with the business going viral once again.
