Imperial in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

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

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 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 !!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 rude staff. Despite the reservation they didn't let us eat and made us wait in vain without telling us anything. We had to find something else. Avoid, there are definitely more hospitable and better places

Lovely staff, always looked after and valued

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

Traditional London pub. It is an old place and at the same time interesting in its decoration. The service is very good. The waiters are very nice and friendly. You find typical food. Be sure to try the “fish and chips”, it is a delight!! Prices consistent with quality. Highly recommended.

Staff were good!! Comfortable place...

The location is very pleasant, close to Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Bang... among other tourist attractions. I tried a delicious IPA beer that I only saw here. The manager is super friendly and made us feel comfortable. Alfie, thanks a lot. 🙏👏👏👏👏

Owen needs a promotion! Best customer service ever! Drinks have never tasted better! Love his work!! Owen always goes above and beyond!!

Nice pub nice server and good dish for my part bbq chicken and fish & chips

A great spot, within easy reach of theatres but not so pricey as it's position would suggest. A good range of drinks and food. Bookable tables. Busy but not packed when we visited early on a Friday evening.

Martyna, was very helpful when we came in and there was a good atmosphere in the pub. It was easy to find and the staff were kind.

Great place, not usually very busy despite its excellent location and slightly tucked away where people don’t notice it so much. Great drink in central when headed into china town or soho

Excellent pub with great atmosphere. Food and beer first class. Service friendly and very good.

Amazing staff, great insight into the beers & gins! Definitely going back.

Very improvable service. Very surly waiter stealing antipathy. You have to order and pay at the bar. He brought us our drinks and left the tray on the table. There were five of us and the cutlery set us up for three. Food is not bad. Neither atmosphere. Place with great possibilities if it were run as two orders.

I was asked to place a bad review for Martyna to compensate for the good reviews. Hence, I will only give 5 stars even though this nice pub would deserve much more. Next time in London I will be visiting this nice location again. Drinks and especially the meals are great. Also there is a good mix between pub like and full meal choices as well as very different dishes! See you soon

Great pub with honest price in city centre - definitely recommend if you want to have some British food

Amazing pub with amazing staff and service.

Great bar off Leicester Square. The small plates were great and pretty generous. The food quality was excellent and the service good. Will go back when we can

Great location and great bar staff.

Great service by Alfie and Vivian (especially his suggestions). Lovely Ambiance and vibes. Makes you stay for one more pint (more than once) 😂

Owen was a great server, pulled pints like a champ. Made me feel welcome and right at home. Cheers fella!

Thoroughly enjoyed a mid afternoon (okay... perhaps late morning) beverage at The Imperial. Owen our waiter was very attentive and polite. Will visit again soon & highly recommend. Heard he is in a great band too so will be keeping up with their music and socials @mosaicsband.

Lovely gem of a pub literally a few steps off Leicester Square - able to sit and watch the huddle and bustle - whilst sitting enjoying a drink and delicious food (light bites, mains and puddings 😋) in the outside seating area. Inside is very smart with a traditional bar - good range of pump ales. Staff were really friendly and attentive, both Martyna and Owen took the time to welcome and chat with us - as managers they are definitely leading by example. Thanks guys - we’ll be back.

Amazing place with very friendly bar staff, feeling like home. Delicious food, especially fish and chips! Martina is very good manager and she doing great job! Will be back soon!!

The pub looked absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Everyone was really nice including the doorman, a couple who worked for the company and were off shift enjoying a drink, and a gentleman called Owen who was extremely friendly, professional and looked like he really enjoyed what he was doing.

Asked for no onion rings and they gave me onion rings, my friend asked for onion rings and they were the smallest I'd ever seen. He was displeased with the size of his onion rings.

Very friendly, we went as a family, good food and good beer. To repeat without a doubt. And you have everything nearby to continue with the scheduled visits.

Very nice pub in busy area. Good selection of drinks, great classic food. Amazing service- thanks Martyna for looking after us.

Attention. Big scam. I ordered a double gin and the liquid matched but from the taste I realized it was diluted with water and tasteless. Tourist trap with a facade that tempts you but is a huge disappointment. Go somewhere else!!!

Really nice visit speedy and great service, great location. Really nice staff especially Martyna, really hospitable

our waiter Martina was lovely and was fast with service

Proper English pub in the heart of the west end. Awesome staff superb service.....very good beer. Great fish and chips!

Delivered here for Greene king, brilliant quick and fast delivery. Martyna and the fella that was also there. Both very helpful! Would deliver there again!💪🏼.

Wow such an amazing atmosphere. The staff is lovely. Martyna was super helpful and made our time at the Imperial joyful.

Top pub! Great service and staff!

absolutely fantastic have now found my new local, great food and great staff.

Very delicious fish and chips. In addition to many other eating options. We were several families and they were very friendly and let us settle in by changing the arrangement of the tables. If I return to London I will try to repeat.

Great pub. Top quality food, drink and service 👌

Had weekend in London found this beautiful pub, the staff were amazing felt very welcome, & the food just topped off a perfect day, will definitely come back soon.

Best pub if you’re looking for cold beers, delicious food and great atmosphere

The most snide is quite small but there’s outdoor seating as well. I got a steak and ale pie and my wife got fish and chips, pretty tasty.

Really great food, the gravy is nice and thick. And Martyna is a fantastic host 👌✨

Great pub, great prices,great atmosphere, excellent staff. Everything you could want from a traditional style English pub. Really nice fish and chips

We are searching for traditional fish and chips, so happy to have found the imperial. As you can see by the pictures it looks and tastes amazing. The staff are really accommodating and have great knowledge of the area and places to visit. The prices are good considering it’s in Leicester Square, the pub is clean and has a great atmosphere.

Love this place, very good service. Good selection of beers. Refurbished not far ago. Superb staff. Like atmosphere. Martyna and Kaya made our afternoon/evening more exceptional than expected.

Lovely old pub with great beer and food. The crispy smashed potatoes were delicious. The staff especially Martyna were friendly, very efficient and helpful

Can't thank Martyna and the other staff for being so welcoming. Exceptional service

Amazing time. Food was great and the drinks too! Service from Martyna was excellent 👌🏽 Would go back 1000x

Popped in to kill a bit of time before meeting a friend to go to M&M world. Enjoyed it so much we stayed there all afternoon and the staff were a good laugh. Will definitely return!

Just stopped for a few drinks food looked lovely.

Great pub with fantastic atmosphere

Beautiful pub in really busy area. Very good food and good selection of beers on tap. Big thank you to Martyna, great service!

Good beer , excellent service 👏.

Great cozy pub , amazing bartenders

Amazing service, great range of beer with a lovely outside. Perfect for a pint after a stroll in central London, also the team were supper friendly with my dogs bringing them water and treats!

Nice little pub in Leicester Square, decent prices considering location and friendly staff.

Great place, good atmosphere!!!! Had a good time with my friends

Nice and cozy pub on the side road of Leicester Square. Delicious food, wide selection of beers and wines, great location and fantastic atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. If you haven’t already, check it out! We will definitely come back.

We made a booking and we were made To feel like an inconvenience 2 of the bar staff were outright rude. The other 2 amazing. Food was great with good portions and very tasty.

Nice pub in an annoyingly busy area, nice inside, chilled vibe, very pleasant and welcoming staff… special thanks to #Martina and #Kaye for the service me and a friend got on Monday evening after the cinema

Lovely Pub, good selection of Beers as well as niche Belgian Beers. I had the Guinness and it’s well kept as well as a reasonable price for Central London. Service was efficient too.

If, like us, you want to visit a typical British restaurant, you've come to the right place.
