Food Hygiene Training in London

From Borough Market to Brick Lane, Chinatown to the thousands of independent kitchens scattered across every borough, London runs on food businesses that live or die by their hygiene standards. Good Food Hygiene trains staff online, CPD-standard, with an instant certificate.

81,191 registered food businesses in London Inspected by London's borough councils 14 languages available

Trained for a rating, not just a certificate

Every one of those 81,191 businesses is inspected under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme by each London borough's own Environmental Health team — there's no single London-wide authority, so every borough, from Westminster to Hackney, inspects independently. A certificate proves your staff were trained — it's what they do every shift afterwards that the inspector actually scores. GFH's courses are built around that gap: real kitchen habits, not just passing a quiz.

Built for how London's kitchens actually staff up

Independent takeaways, restaurants, cafés and street food traders across London train staff from every background — which is why every GFH course is complete in 14 languages, not just English with a translated splash page. A new starter can learn the material properly in the language they actually think in, then sit the same UK-standard assessment as everyone else.

Courses & pricing

10 CPD-standard courses from £15 — Food Hygiene Levels 1–3, HACCP, Allergen Awareness, Health & Safety and more. Free taster version on every course, so a business can try one before training the whole team.

London FAQs

Which council inspects my food business in London?

Whichever London borough you trade in — there are 33 separate Environmental Health teams across Greater London, not one central authority, so your local borough council is the one to check with.

Do I need a food hygiene certificate to trade at a London street food market?

Yes — from Borough Market to Camden, organisers and the relevant borough council almost always require proof of Level 2 Food Hygiene training before granting a pitch.
