I am looking to work at an investment bank in London and to narrow down the options I would be interested in knowing which bank have canteens and if the food is any good. This is way down on my list of criteria but something that would help the day pass smoothly.

Is this a trick question? No food in London is any good. Period.
That really helps. And you call yourself ValueAdd. Do you just live in a world of irony?
The very thought of basing your future career on the quality of food in the bank's canteen is ridiculous. If this is seriously a factor in deciding which bank to work for, you should probably look into pulling your head out of your ass first.
If, however, discussing good food is your interest, I can tell you that the food in London (and the UK in general) is terrible compared to almost anywhere else in the world. Get out of the UK and dare to tell me differently.
Word.
Well, value add banker is sometimes rightfuly so considered an oxymoron...
Well all of the banks (except BNP Paribas) are in the City or Canary Wharf, both of which have an abundance of speedy and deliverable food. I don't even know if my bank has a canteen or what it's like, I'll be fine with sushi or soup or whatever from a takeaway place.
We have a canteen
It serves the worst food in the world.
From the ghetto....
thank you everybody that replied
