My absolute fav restaurant in London is Vong's.  It is not a chile restaurant 
per se.  It is fushion Thai/French.  Their starters plate/tower for two is a 
full meal of taste delights.  That with a bottle of Chardonnay is wonderful.  
My husband and I always head there.  It's in the Knightsbridge area near 
Harrods.  It is located in a hotel---forgot the name sorry.  Vong's is the 
best of Jean-George Vongerichten.  (author of best seller:  Jean-Georges 
Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef).

There are numerous Indian and Thai restaurants all over London, some good, 
some fair, some dreadful.  If you aren't familiar w/Balti Indian cooking give 
it a try.

I recommend picking up a copy of the Current Magazine, TimeOut London which 
will give all sorts of current info on restaurants and what's happening.  You 
can get it here in the states at some book stores that carry international 
publications.  Otherwise it is available at the news stands at Hearthrow for 
sure.  When you exit customs straight a head are two news stands and both 
carry it.

London is still very pricey!  My old hangouts in Victoria Station Area for 
Indian and Greek food have even become pricey.  Where oh where have the cheap 
eats of Indian walk-aways gone?????
