Perhaps not "trendy" in the sense that you mean, and therefore might not be at all what you want, but I would *strongly* recommend a visit to Churchill Arms Tavern (going from 3-year old memory, so allow for some minor error):

Take the King Street tube exit.  You can walk from there if you're a sturdy walker... find King Street (as you exit tube turn right and King St. will be on the left just a bit up the block).  Walk til you find the tavern (on the left side as you're going up the street).  The front is a traditional English pub -- and in the back room is a
*FABULOUS* Thai restaurant.  I'd call that fun and cheap.  Can I come???  :)

Correction:  it's the High Street tube station you want. :)

A fun, cheap, and trendy restaurant is not necessarily of the class of "best restaurants."  That said, what is your desire?  Good pub food?  You can find that at places like the White Horse on Parson's Green in Fulham, or at Perseverance in Bloomsbury, just as a couple of examples, and there are many more.  Or perhaps you like something like sushi, served inexpensively and conveyore-belt style at Yosushi?  Wagamama for Japanese noodles?

Or maybe a place like St John at Smithfield Market or Spitalfields... assuming you aren't a vegetarian.

You want big-time trendy, and under the rubric "best restaurants in London," then you search out one of the Gordon Ramsay places.  Even at the relatively less-expensive ones, like the Boxwood Cafe, bring money or a credit card with a healthy credit line.
