Imperial in City of London, Westminster

Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff .. lovely food would recommend definitely

Lively traditional pub, just off Leicester square. Welcoming staff, good ale (Abbot ale - I can drink Taylor's Landlord at home) always found a table. Outside tables, but it's March..

Very professional service. I loved the atmosphere. Martina has been very kind. Thank you 😊

They serve Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc on tap so I am automatically obliged to give 5 stars!!

Pub with typical decoration, what we were looking for. Very good and plentiful fish and chips. Very nice waitresses.

Came for a few drinks after work, we were drinking the 1664 blanc and its so good! Martyna’s service was fantastic I look forward to coming back!

10/10 the best place I have eaten in all of London, the phenomenal atmosphere where you can talk but there are not people shouting or the music being too loud, the wonderful waiters even called the kitchen to ask if they could make a change to the dish I ordered and they let us take photos behind the bar, the quality-price is fantastic, it was the most flavorful food I have eaten on the entire trip, and you can also enter with minors until 9 at night. I will return.

Lovely experience yet again at the imperial. The long dark haired fella with the beard had great service. Kushty

Two of us popped into The Imperial during the late afternoon on a Monday prior to seeing an evening show in the West End. The place was quiet with plenty of tables to choose from The barman was friendly and polite, drinks were served quickly and were priced around average for central London pubs. Looking at the food menus we saw there was a great choice at very reasonable prices and we would have eaten there had we not already booked a table elsewhere. The place started to fill up while we were there with groups of people who had obviously finished work but despite the increase in numbers the lone barman coped well and was professional throughout. This pub had an atmosphere that just makes you want to return. Busy but you could still chat and be heard, no blaring music and friendly staff. Just beware of the stairs down to the basement toilets. It's an old building and they are very steep.

It was here that I entered a pub for the first time while sightseeing in London. I ordered the long-awaited fish and chips. The batter is crispy and not greasy. The cod is fluffy. The taste was very delicious and you could customize it to your liking. The atmosphere inside the store was calm and comfortable.

A nice little spot just off the beaten track. Nice atmosphere. Staff are very pleasant

Great pub food ....,beer well kept ,not inflated prices ,great service The staff were warm friendly and charming ..what more could I ask for ?

Saif tiene un servicio excepcional, incluso me recomendó una bebida que se ha convertido en mi ir, califico su corte de pelo también. Con todo, volvería al 100%.

Saif tiene un servicio de atención al cliente increíble, recomendando grandes nuevas bebidas a aquellos que quieren ampliar su gusto. La comida que recibí fue realmente delicioso también.

It was a nice pub. The price was reasonable for the area.

Muy acogedor, buena comida, buen servicio. Excelente relación calidad-precio. El personal fue atento sin ser intrusivo. Excelente ubicación para comidas y bebidas antes del teatro

While on a trip to London I dropped in at this pub for a drink and a snack. I highly recommend it. The food and drinks were good. The service was very nice (greetings to the nice Mrs. Martyna).

For a couple of beers it's rather good

Lovely food and really nice place to be. Would recommend to anyone

Best pub in central London, great selection of beer and their staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend to visit this place when you’re London.

Couldn’t get any food, 30 minute wait

Lovely place, and the guys are very well mannered, a lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing I would recommend to anyone visiting London for a holiday or just a nights get away

great pub in central london... amazing cozy atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food - the halloumi wrap was wonderful

This was the imperial just round from the m&m shop. Can I just say, one of the worst experiences I’ve witnessed in such a small amount of time. My friend and I ordered food, she ordered the cod goujon sandwich, I ordered the Camembert dumplings and a halloumi sandwich. The goujons turned up as just ‘goujons’, no fish to be seen what so ever. No real apology given, just left her to it. The Camembert dumplings were just deep fried bread rolls, barely any cheese at all. The halloumi sandwich came as a wrap, with mustard on it! No chili jam. I took it back to the bar and to be fair they gave me a refund straight away. However, the two lads behind the bar then proceeded to eat the wrap from by the glass wash area which could be seen from our table! They must have heard us talking as came over about 10 mins after the fact and offered me a free drink to compensate which I declined. Never have I ever witnessed so much incompetence in one transaction. Needless to say we finished our drinks and went to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe !!! Seriously need to sort your staff out!

Fab. Was busy and first rate…. A really cosy English pub with really good food and (katsu burger alone will bring me back).

The door staff and bar staff were very welcoming. My wife and I had fish and chips and a pint. Atmosphere was very good. Fully enjoyed our hour there.

Staff are great with our Son who has Autism. They remembered he likes trains, even though our visits were months apart . Little touches like that really make a difference. Good selection of beers and food . Only criticism of food is ,a few more chips in a portion would be nice . Apart from that the food itself looked and tasted fantastic . The pub is nice and clean. Seems very well managed for a busy little pub . Will 100% book again

Pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere of this London pub, in addition to the Christmas vibe. Exquisite cocktails and pretty good food. The fish & chips were crispy and the wings were juicy. We liked it so much that we repeated the next day 😋

A pub as we like it, friendly.... impeccable service. Pie, and very good burger....

Love this pub. Been here around this time for years and always welcoming. My wife dropped her drink today and it was cleared up and replaced in no time. Epic. Thank you guys.

The waiters are rude. No courtesy. Not coming back again 🤨

Great food and drinks, well priced for central London. Friendly service from Martina behind the bar...definitely recommended.

We absolutely loved the Imperial! Great food, charming pub and loved the outdoor heaters!

Great pub - relatively tucked away on Leicester Square so normally not too busy.

Extremely pricey for even that part of London

Increíble ubicación y decoración moderna llena de historia, el equipo brilla con el servicio y marcan toda la diferencia. La comida era preciosa y se puede sentir la Navidad está allí, lo recomiendo totalmente.

Went in for a quick drink and something to eat. Was served by a lovely server named Alfie. Was a great calm atmosphere and good quality food. Will be back again.

We go here when we go to London, because it is well priced, and the food is always good, and the staff are always friendly

We had a nice dinner when we got there before we found our apartment

Gran pub ... personal muy amable y acogedor. La comida (compartir platos) era genial. Puede poner justo el servicio al cliente. Gracias por recibirnos 😊

Good service. Usual price for London. Nice pub

Honestamente el mejor pescado con papas fritas en bastante tiempo. En bastante tiempo. Empezó con pollo pegajoso, fue muy bueno. Y por supuesto un borrador Guinness. Personal muy amable, solo un tiempo muy agradable. Y realmente uno de los mejores fish and chips de la ciudad.

Great time. Martyna make this place better

Świetne miejsce, klimat i jedzenie wyśmienite, Martyna pracująca tam bardzo życzliwa i uśmiechnięta, zdecydowanie polecam!

Guy there called Saif is so kind.

Our server Martina was really helpful and very kind person..she recommended us the best food I ever had in a pub!!!thank you to her and I will be back soon!!

Love the cosy atmosphere and classic British pub vibe, with great food and a fun cocktail menu. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

You don't have to do it for a Sunday roast. But the location is beautiful and the pub is authentic and atmospheric.

Chris was amazing helped us out same as the others good experience

The food was very good(fish and chips)

Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere inside the pub is nice and calm. Good place to go if you are in the area and looking for some good food and drinks.

We stopped for a couple of beers and had a great time, the shopping is average, we also got some fried food as an accompaniment at normal prices, the 3 guys behind the counter were very nice and easy going

Delivered here for Greene king, brilliant quick and fast delivery. Martyna and Chris are lovely people. Both very helpful! Would deliver there again!💪🏼.

Excellent service by Martina 🍻 good food and great selection of beers

Highly recommend, brilliant location. Good atmosphere inside the pub and the staff are nothing but helpful 👌

I really had a very good experience, I really appreciate the effort and service by Martina. Very good customer service.

Absolutely wonderful experience at the Imperial, the team was the highlight of my stay here. Giving amazing recommendations and very attentive which you do not find in all pubs around London.

Excellent service. Great atmosphere and a wide range of drinks to choose from. Great for a quick stop or get together.

There are no people around, so it's calm and comfortable. Recommended for chatting with friends

Nice pub in Leicester Square. Close to Vue Cinema and china town

Nice place near Leicester Square. Outside seating if the weather is good.

Everything was great except the Nachos which were terrible. For the money, not a good deal, one thin layer of Doritos, hardly no dips,would never order that again, should have complained, but we had a wonderful time, spent a lot of money. I do like the pub

I spent a lot of time here during Frightfest weekend and it was a blast. Despite how busy it can get it's generally easy to get served by the attentive staff. Food is also tasty and well priced (for central London). A little gem tucked around the corner of the Odeons in Leicester Square.

Oasis of calm in busy London tourist area. Food first class and staff clean happy and professional. We were made very welcome and just enjoyed the ambience, the service and the food with excellent service. Cheers Alfie we will call again.

I’ve been into this pub once or twice now and must say it is lovely. The bar staff are amazing especially Alfie who pays great attention to detail and his costumers. Would recommend highly!

Great atmosphere friendly staff

Great food and staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely be coming back again soon

Great pub, love the atmosphere 👌. Couldn't fault the staff at all. One of our group had allergies, so the manager Alfie was really helpful and explained all the options available. There was 3 of us eating, the food was great and prompt service. Would definitely return.

Had a lovely time here last week, a great pub for a bite to eat. We were visiting the theatre later on in the evening but couldn’t resist a bit of lunch. Food was good, came quickly and service was very friendly. Love the fact that it was a “proper” traditional pub- not many of those around in London these days, definitely worth a visit!

I had a lovely experience. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great

Great staff, drinks was amazing

Lovely pub in a good location. Drinks excellent highly recommended

Had such a great time. Alfie and Martyna keep us fully entertained. Great night out !!!

Fairly good food as for a pub, staff very attentive and helpful. I will definitely go back. Thanks

The food was pretty good and the draft cider was excellent. Surprisingly it was not too crowded for being close to such a tourist heavy area.

Martyna is so beautiful and charming! And the place is perfect for all people who want to feel the London vibes! 🩷

Nice drinks in good prices. Martyna behind the bar’s the best 🔥

Very nice Mrs. Martyna, helpful and smiling. Delicious drinks, great service 🫶

Ahhh great place! Delicious drinks! It's worth asking about Martyna! A very polite girl! (Polish) who serves the most delicious drinks here I recommend !!!!

Great atmospheric place. Fantastic service. Drinks and food great. Greetings to Martyna who served us.

Good atmosphere and looks, I'll give you that... But ordered cider was a joke (a sparkling lemonade) and both female toilettes were clugged. I don't think anybody checked on it for a while.

This pub is really nice. !!! Very attentive team and very good beer at the pump. I recommend it! BB

Great surprise!!!! We were looking for a place to have a typical dish like "pies" and we chanced upon this pub. The staff is charming, attentive to our needs and advising us. The food was delicious, the best fish and chips I have ever eaten and the Pie was delicious. If you want to leave with a good feeling, go eat there.

Great service and a lovely barmaid called Martyna

Martynas great service , friendly , overall 10/10

Tolle Biere und freundliches Personal, lohnt sich hier kurz eine Pause zu gönnen, direkt am Leicester Square 👍🏻 Bei schönem Wetter auch draussen sitzen

Lovely atmosphere, food was great. Martyna, the girl who served us, was very helpful and knowledgeable. We'll be back

Great little pub just out of the way of the hustle and bustle of Leicester Square - great food, friendly staff and really nice venue.

Lovely pub, great friendly attentive staff and a brilliant selection all round

Absolutely fantastic little place, clean, great food and wonderful staff. Bravo 👏

One of the best places in London. Great service by Martyna. Definitely will be back!

Great atmosphere friendly staff and quick service enjoyed time out with friends and the prices of the drinks where decent aswell

The place have an amazing atmosphere and the the fish and chips is the best . Totally recommend ❤️

Cushty service! Will be back soon!

Great pub with nice atmosphere! Team is very friendly, especially Martina who recommended aperol spritz!

Marytna is amazing and super helpful

Great place to have a cold beer or Cider. The food was awesome! 100%

We walked into this pub to rest a bit, and it was lovely. The staff is friendly and dealt very good with our poor English speaking skills. Husband enjoyed a Guiness, I had an Aperol Spritz, and together we shared a plate of delicious nachos. The atmosphere is relaxed, kids are also welcomed. Such a lovely, hidden treasure in the middle of London. Highly recommended to take a relaxing break there, super tourist friendly and still very british. (For the ladies: There's quite a handsome barkeeper 🤫🫢)

Very nice atmosphere. Friendly place to relax after a days work. Come here to try it out with a drink or two, you will not regret.

Very friendly pub, nice staff, good atmosphere. Love it here!
