This is by far and away the worst McDonald’s restaurant in the world. Fact. I thought these places were all the same until I discovered what was my local 24 hour drive-through filthery.

The first thing to note about this place is that if you go there after midnight they only serve what is known as the “night menu”. This is supposedly a small selection of the basics inluding quarter pounders (no cheese only), big macs, chips and not a hell of a lot else. In actual fact, it’s a lot closer to whatever’s still sitting around in its own grease since the friers were switched off.

Expect your order to be:

a) Limited to things you don’t want
b) cold
c) dry
d) burnt and/or frozen
e) put together badly
f) served with a sneer
g) and worst of all, incorrect.

If you are lucky enough to escape some of these problems, you can more or less guarnatee that, at the least, your food will be squashed with all of the ketchup bled out of it.

Depsite this horrendous quality and service, you can expect a minimum of a four-car queue at all times of night but, whatever you do, do not atempt to go inside the restaurant to place your order. Firstly, you’ll find it shut. Secondly, you’ll find the reason it’s shut.

Gangs of youths hang out at this popular nightspot, munching poorly constructed fast-food, just waiting for people to be foolhardy enough to leave their vehicles. There seems to be a certain pride with which the McDonald’s at Wandsworth round-a-bout gathered yellow crime sandwich boards. I’m sure I saw an employee actually cleaning them with a duster and a can of Pledge once.

The only postive thing I can tell you about this restaurant is that it is indeed open 24 hours a day, just as they advertise, and, unfortunately, one of the only places in the area where you can get a bite to eat after three in the morning.

Is it possible to give a negative number of stars?

This Mc Donalds compares equally with all the other mcDonald’s in London. You can buy burgers chips etc etc. The music they play is pretty good and it is overall a clean restaurant, and occasionally they even give out balloons!
The toilets are small but clean and the food tastes like your average McDonalds food. It is free wifi which is good and there is also a nice area that you can eat outside which is really nice- although you can sort of hear alot of traffic.
The drive thru option is also very quick!

One thing to look out for is that some of their food has actually gone up in price- eg Happy Meals have gone up 20p in price :O
