London is one of the biggest restaurant and food capitals of the world, with an endless variety of dining options from eclectic ethnic eats to contemporary cuisine.
Korean immigration to the UK has been on a steady rise in the last 10 years, and there are now Korean restaurants all over London. There is a mini Koreatown at Tottenham Court Road and a large Koreatown in the suburb of New Malden. There are about 25,000 Koreans in the UK, with 20k in the London area and about 8k of those in New Malden. New Malden is the largest Koreatown in all of Europe.
The standard of living in London and food prices there are very high, so prices are higher than what you will normally pay in the States or Korea for Korean food. You may get a couple side dishes for free, but you will usually have to pay for your kimchi. Bibimbap and Korean BBQ are both popular among non-Koreans in London.
