Before 'Chicken Shop Date' Ends, Here's Every London Restaurant That Helped Make It Famous

Key Points Amelia Dimoldenberg announced that Chicken Shop Date is ending after more than 12 years. Before saying goodbye, Dimoldenberg says a few final dates are still on the way. Fans can visit many of the actual chicken shops where iconic episodes with Andrew Garfield, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and more were filmed. After more than a decade of awkward flirting, celebrity guests, and an ungodly amount of chicken and chips, Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date is coming to an end. On September 3, creator and host Amelia Dimoldenberg announced that she is saying goodbye to the YouTube series after more than 12 years and 100 episodes. Thankfully, we aren't getting ghosted immediately: Dimoldenberg says there are still 'a few final dates' coming before the series officially ends. The news marks the end of an era for a show that started when Dimoldenberg was a teenager and eventually landed some of the biggest celebrities in the world. Andrew Garfield, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Stiller, Paul Mescal, Charli XCX, and countless others have all subjected themselves to Dimoldenberg's signature deadpan flirting, all while sitting under the unforgiving lighting of a fried chicken shop. While your chances of watching Dimoldenberg finally find love over a tray of nuggets are dwindling, the London-based chicken shops where they were filmed aren't going anywhere. So, if you've ever wanted to sit where Rosalía flirted with Amelia or recreate her date with Andrew Garfield's for yourself, consider this your Chicken Shop Date bucket list. Sam's Chicken—Harlesden 84 High St., London NW10 4SJ If you're looking for a Chicken Shop Date location with an absolutely stacked celebrity résumé, start here. The Harlesden location of Sam's Chicken has served as the backdrop for dates with Andrew Garfield, Billie Eilish, Lando Norris, and Tems, among others. Yes, this means you can technically sit inside the same chicken shop where the internet spent several minutes collectively analyzing every interaction between Garfield and Dimoldenberg. Do with that information what you will. Sam's Chicken—Watford Way 39 Watford Way, London NW4 3JH Apparently Sam's Chicken is the Nobu of Chicken Shop Date, because another one of the chain's locations has hosted an equally impressive lineup of Dimoldenberg's dates. Sabrina Carpenter and SZA both filmed episodes at the Watford Way location. So if your ideal dinner party somehow consists of these women, this is basically sacred ground. Morley's—Stroud Green Road 121 Stroud Green Rd., London N4 3PX Brick Lane isn't the only Morley's to make its Chicken Shop Date debut. Rosalía filmed her episode at the chain's Stroud Green Road location. Now there's a very convincing argument for turning your next London vacation into a Morley's crawl. Chicken Cottage—Praed Street 135 Praed St., London W2 1RL Chicken Cottage has been part of the Chicken Shop Date universe since the show's early days, but its Praed Street location has hosted some particularly memorable dates. Paul Mescal sat down with Dimoldenberg here, as did Keke Palmer and Shania Twain. Eating fried chicken in the same place where Paul Mescal once endured an intentionally uncomfortable date feels like a perfectly reasonable tourist activity to me. Chicking—Edgware Road 362 Edgware Rd., London W2 1EB Add Delish as a preferred source in your Google search results. Use your Google account to add this to your settings. Add to Google settings Jennifer Lawrence's 2023 Chicken Shop Date appearance took place at Chicking on Edgware Road. Her appearance was particularly surreal considering just how far the series had come by that point. What began with Dimoldenberg interviewing grime artists in London chicken shops had reached the point where an Oscar-winning actress was sitting across from her, eating fried chicken. And somehow, the fluorescent lighting remained. Kasey's Chicken & Grill—Holloway Road 223 Holloway Rd., London N7 8HG Kasey's Chicken & Grill has hosted several Chicken Shop Date guests over the years, including Charli XCX and Phoebe Bridgers. The thought of Charli XCX and Phoebe Bridgers having anything in common is already incredible. That 'thing' being a fried chicken restaurant in Holloway makes it even better. Kasey's Chicken 4—Ellesmere Street Ellesmere Street, London E14 6BA Harris Dickinson's 2025 appearance took Chicken Shop Date to another Kasey's location, this time in East London. If you have ever wanted to retrace the steps of the man who made half the internet watch Babygirl, congratulations: I have found your lunch plans. Slim Chickens—Cambridge Circus 1 Cambridge Circus, London WC2H 8PA As Chicken Shop Date got bigger, so did its guest list. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman filmed their joint 2024 appearance at Slim Chickens near Cambridge Circus. It's also one of the more convenient stops for tourists staying in central London, meaning you don't even have to work particularly hard to add some Chicken Shop Date history to your itinerary. Sam's Chicken—Kilburn Lane 338 Kilburn Lane, London W9 3EF Yet another Sam's Chicken makes the list. Dominic Fike filmed his episode at the Kilburn Lane location, as did British rapper Fredo. At this point, you could probably build an entire Chicken Shop Date itinerary without ever leaving the Sam's Chicken ecosystem. Morley's—Central Parade, Croydon 6 Central Parade, Croydon CR0 0JB RAYE's episode took the show south to a Morley's location in Croydon. If you're keeping score of every single episode, Morley's is one of the most frequently recurring chains in the entire series, which feels appropriate. Nothing says romance quite like fried chicken under aggressively bright lighting. So yes, Chicken Shop Date may be ending. But between Sam's Chicken, Morley's, Chicken Cottage, Kasey's, and the rest of the restaurants that served as the show's unlikely sets over the past decade, there are plenty of places to keep its legacy alive. All you need is some fried chicken, a date, and the confidence to maintain eye contact for a bit too long.
