The Coral Room in Camden

Afternoon Tea at The Coral Room - the sandwiches were nice but the cakes and scones were excellent. Service was lovely!

Great nibbles, expensive wine, and beautiful place. Service not super attentive.

Very nice place to go for a drink in London! The service was impeccable and the cocktails were very good!

Delicious tea, great service and an amazing vibe.

Went for afternoon tea. Very nice space, comfortable seating. The tea was excellent and the food was good. Scones were the best in my opinion. My one issue was the service. After I was seated, seeing one waiter who seemed to be in charge of my area pass by and ignore me several times, I had to ask if he was my waiter. He asked me to give him a moment and came back a few minutes later. After that, service remained slow--it wasn't until 5 minutes after I got the nice warm scones that they brought the clotted cream and jam, which was too bad as the scones had cooled off some. Overall, a nice experience for afternoon tea, but not enough to lead me to return

I’ve yet to dine there, but recently visited for London Cocktail Week and had such a beautiful evening. Warm reception, and attentive staff - gorgeous settings too! Loved their Palmaráe cocktails on offer - would definitely recommend! Excellent service all round. I’ll be back soon :)

The interior is great. The service is apathetic and the cocktails are horrendous.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely cocktail menu. David took care of us and he was absolutely lovely <3

Mt favourite bar in London, easy, chic, elegant, not snobbish or overwhelming. Amazing . Thanks, Gio, and the team to make every visit so special.

From the moment you walk in, the stunning coral-colored walls and chic decor set the vibe. The tableware, glasses, staff uniform are gorgeous too, adding a really classy touch to everything. The cocktails? Next level. Each one is perfectly crafted and looks as amazing as it tastes. You can tell they put serious thought into every drink—they’re not just good, they’re an experience. But what really makes this place stand out is the staff. Super friendly, welcoming, and they know their stuff. You’ll feel like a VIP from start to finish. If you’re after great drinks, a stylish atmosphere, and top-notch service, The Coral Room is a must-visit!

Booked ahead of arrival which was a good call. Service was good but slow to make cocktails.

I have visited the Coral Room multiple times and I had a friend visiting from outside London who I thought might enjoy it. It is a beautiful bar, usually a very nice experience. I was excited to share the venue with them. The visit coincided with London Cocktail Week and we spent the day exploring London based around different venues. When we arrived at Coral Room we were seated and I went straight to use the bathroom. On my return to my friends, I found them looking upset and I asked what happened. They explained to me that they looked at the menu and, unfortunately, the cocktail on the list for Cocktail Week contained nuts. One of my friends has a nut allergy, and was therefore unable to drink this. Apparently they had asked for an alternative owing to the allergy and had been told this was not possible. I found this hard to believe, to be honest, because in every other venue the first question when being seated was “are there any allergies?” - this is commonplace in 2024. I must have been frowning as they explained this experience to me because a waitress came over to ask if everything was ok, so I started to say to them “well, no not really because my friend has an allergy and we’ve been told you won’t accommodate them…” and at the same time, the original waiter who has spoken to my friends whilst I was in the bathroom came and interrupted his colleague and I with “we have already been through this, there is nothing we can do” - in a way that if a bored eye roll could be a voice, that’s what it would sound like. I was shocked. It was rude, and full of attitude - suggestive of if someone was making inappropriate and inconvenient demands instead of having a life threatening allergy. I was extremely embarrassed as I had been the one to suggest coming to this venue, and to be made to feel so uncomfortable about something like a nut allergy as if it was “impossible” to offer literally ANY alternative drink from the extensive menu that they have, with super skilled staff that a venue like Coral Room would have… it’s unbelievable honestly. It’s 2024, there is more awareness about allergies than ever before and it’s unacceptable that you refused to provide necessary support for your patrons. Will not visit again, following this experience. When my friend and I visited Sushi Samba earlier that day, we ordered their cocktail of the festival which upon tasting I hated. It was really not to my taste, even though I knew it had tequila in I’d tried it because we had wanted to experience the venue and I felt ordering a tequila based drink was worth the risk. Because I took the risk to order it, when they asked me how it was and I said “it’s not to my taste, honestly” I was happy to persevere because I knowingly ordered when the spirit of choice wasn’t my preferred. Instead, the bar staff insisted they wanted my experience to be improved and they asked if I had any allergies, preferences and then proceeded to generously give me their bestselling cocktail for free as a gesture of courtesy. THAT is how you do customer service. It was not expected, but it was a gesture that I won’t forget and improved my perception of the brand because of their simple kindness. Coral Room should learn to embrace kindness and empathy, and drop the attitude.

If I could give it 0 stars I would do. Came for cocktail week as we had wanted to try it. However, we found out that the cocktail of the day contained almonds which one of our party was allergic to. In every other bar they had asked if we had an allergies and even in one bar when we didn't like the cocktail, it got changed free of charge! In the coral rooms they were very dismissive and almost couldn't wait to get rid of us - when we asked if there was an alternative to get told no. Won't be returning!

Beautiful venue and great staff!

The afternoon tea was excellent and very filling. Service very friendly.

A wonderful place filled with an abundance of soft coral hues.

It’s a beautiful place. Sadly the food wasn’t as good as I was expecting to. Really terrible standards. A simply egg overcooked. An egg royal presented badly. The egg not runny as it supposed to be. The croque madam dry. Waiter didn’t care much. I’ve refrained from ordering a cocktail as the price was £17 each. A very glamour place that doesn’t much the standards or food or service. Not recommended.

We visited this bar for drinks today and were impressed by its neat and ambient environment. The atmosphere was cozy yet modern, perfect for a relaxing night out. The service was prompt and attentive, making the overall experience smooth and enjoyable. Definitely a place worth revisiting if you're looking for a calm and efficient bar experience! Kudos to the Italian lady who served us!

We had a lovely time in the bar. The service was first class.Well worth a visit

Good afternoon tea and professional service. Tasty scones and sandwiches

This bar is truly a phenomenal place to unwind. Wonderful bartenders and cocktails. Though I did not order one, the special cocktail menu was thoughtfully prepared and a joy to simply read through. The complimentary tarali and almonds were top notch.

Lovely service, atmosphere and cocktails! Very lovely nightcap.

Absolutely amazing experience. Our friends are visiting London next week and have already made a reservation based on our recommendation. Our waiter was the BEST!!

Our waiter was brilliant, he was so attentive, to the point that he didn't want us to pour our own tea, he was continually on hand to do so for us. Unfortunately, the lady, who I assume to be the m'aitre d' was not so friendly or happy, it felt as though we had interrupted her in some way. She actually took us halfway to our table and then just pointed and grunted in the general direction! The afternoon tea was good, the chicken and steak sandwiches were standout. 4 scones each and a selection of 5 sweets, although the earl grey and blackberry dome was the star of the show, for sure. Reasonably priced at £48 per person or £65 with champagne, although if booked on ' The Fork' there's currently an offer for £40 including sparkling rose but the staff had no idea how to apply this offer so there was a bit of a kerfuffle with the bill at the end and we were overcharged by around £70. But it was all sorted in the end and we left happy. The decor inside is fabulous, with very high ceilings and interesting chandeliers, lots of artwork on the walls, large mirrors and bright coral paint. Large comfy chairs and cushions at low tables have a relaxed and enjoyable feel.

Incredibly beautiful place with tasty food and friendly service, exceeding expectations!

Extremely impressive bar. The ambience is exceptionally classy and unusually spacious. The serving and bartending staff is very highly skilled and very gracious. Cocktails executed to perfection. High-concept drinks done they way they should be done. Even the music selection is beyond reproach.

THE MOST ROMANTIC COCKTAIL BAR . This wasn't my first time at the @coralroom and I always think it's one of the most stylish and romantic cocktail bars in London. It's a villa-style bar topped with chandeliers offering creative cocktails and small plates. . We tried and loved: Tipsy Yellaman cocktail £16 King Puck cocktail £16 Teriyaki buttermilk chicken £13 28 days aged beef sliders £16 Pea and gorgonzola arancini £14 Charcuterie board £14 . 📍Location: Bloomsbury 🚇Closest station: Tottenham Court Road

Stunning setting for special occasion cocktails

Beautiful bar in London. The cocktails were divine! Had the Paloma and it was absolute perfection. Will come back!

Amazing bar lounge in the Bloomsbury Hotel. Has a 1930s vibe and well made drinks and impeccable service. It’s quiet and can be romantic or a great place to wrap an evening up with friends. Highly recommended.

Great bar! Super vibes - the coral room indeed - does what it says on the tin. The bartender that served us on a Friday afternoon was skilled and she made us a very nice Basil Smash and pisco sour

Terrible Service and Overpriced Low-Quality Drinks. I do not recommend this bar to anyone and will certainly not be returning. I visited this bar with a friend last Friday (June 7th, 2024, from 9:00 PM to midnight) and had a very disappointing experience. The waiter, a tall man with light hair, was unhelpful and rude from the start. When my friend asked for a menu and inquired about the snacks, the waiter's cold and irritated behaviour made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Despite the bar not being busy, the waiter ignored us for most of the evening. He only seemed to attend to larger groups or middle-aged people, completely disregarding our attempts to get his attention. We waited for 15-20 minutes just to get the menu and were left waiting for another 20-30 minutes to place our order and cycle repeats. When I finally ordered a cocktail, the drink was a complete disaster. It contained a single, large piece of ice that was the same height as the cocktail itself, which is something I have never encountered in any bar I've been to around the world. Half of the drink was just ice, making it both a rip-off and a clear indication of poor quality (16 pounds). I didn't even bother asking for a replacement cocktail because I feared I would have to wait another 30 minutes just to place the order with the waiter.

Came here for afternoon tea with a friend and really enjoyed it. The sandwiches/scones/pastries were all delicious and the service impeccable. We were offered lots of refills and it was a relaxing experience compared to other places which rush you out so they can have the table back. It’s also reasonably priced for a London afternoon tea.

Somehow this place is universal. Feels like it suits any format of the meeting you are having. Nice cocktails. Very good staff.

Beautiful bar with expertly made cocktails. Fabulous service, special mention for George who offered impeccable service both friendly and knowledgable . Will definitely return , perfect spot for a special occasion or equally just popping in for an impromptu drink . A definite must if you’re in the area , already looking for an excuse to return.

Beautiful bar. Delicious cocktails. Poor service. The bar looks fantastic, and the cocktails are excellent. We wanted to have more drinks, but found the service became inattentive, so we left after one round. We sat for a while with empty glasses and nobody checked on us for more orders, to give us the menus back, or for more water. Disappointing, as we wanted to stay. It was not busy at all. From reading other reviews it seems we just had a bit of bad luck here.

All staffs are lovely and helpful.

Amazing service. Really good cocktails and the ambience is cool

Wonderful place with kind and considerate service. We visited for afternoon tea and had a delightful time. You can reorder the small sandwiches and pastries at no additional cost, which is a lovely touch. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend making a reservation in advance.

Beautiful decor, friendly staff, nice ambience, high ceilings, comfortable seats. Came here for drinks. Highly recommend this and will definitely come back!

Stayed 2 nights in London, both nights we went to the Coral. Didn't have any food, but the atmosphere and drinks are top notch. Loved the interaction with the staff and the level of service.

Just fabulous and out new friend Shukran was the perfect host. 10/10 recommend. This was my first visit and I'll be back

We went for afternoon tea and had a lovely and pleasant experience. They portions were generous and the tea flavours were sublime. All in all very relaxing and would visit again.

Very smart and relaxed bar converted from what was the original hotel foyer. High ceilings, open fireplace, comfy sofas and barstool seating. The bar staff are absolutely great, really approachable and good to chat with. They have a nice cocktail menu too. Highly recommended!

Loved this place for cocktails. Booked midweek having walked past the entrance before. Stunning room to have cocktails in feels very upmarket. Staff were lovely and lots of comfy seating. Cocktails were excellent and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Wow! Gorgeous spot for high tea (served between 12-4pm). We splurged for the champagne tea and absolutely worth it. Plenty of food, with the option to always order more free of charge. The service was very attentive, despite a large and demanding group of 10 seated next to us.

Amazing afternoon tea experience. Staffs were very accommodating regarding dietary restrictions.

Beautiful tea room. Fabulous service! Even rude tourists couldn't stop the impeccable service. Splurge for the Champagne! Well worth it!

Beautiful place. The hostess sat us down and unfortunately we had to leave after 15min waiting and no service. The waiters walking around and no one came service. Sad!

Excellent service, and very nice atmospher.

The name of the bar is derived from its colour. We enjoyed the bar and appreciated the friendly staff.

The atmosphere of this place is so excellent - it feels special and a little bit fancy without being stuffy or formal. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I especially loved the March special cocktail and the complementary smoked almonds. And even though it's barely off the beaten track, it wasn't too busy at all!

I took 3 twenty somethings to high tea at Coral room and found it very beautiful. The champagne came quick the tea pots generous w lovely teas. The savoury food portion however was disappointing w too little filling and not very attractively presented. Sweets were pretty. Improvment areas: changing of tea cups w fresh pots of tea

One of the most disappointing bar experiences I've had in a long time. This is supposed to be a fancy hotel bar, but service was bafflingly poor - especially for what they charge. Went in on a very quiet Monday afternoon, there were only 6-8 other customers there. We were asked if we were ready to order about 30 seconds after being sat down, we then ordered two glasses of wine and after about 10 minutes only one came. We were asked if we had ordered anything else, when we confirmed we had and effectively ordered again another approximately 10 minutes pass and the second arrives. I can't understand what was happening that two glasses of wine to one of your three occupied tables is difficult to do. For all this they charge £27 plus 12.5% service charge, plus VAT. Save your cash, better service just about everywhere else.

Thi hotel bar provides a delightful ambiance, boasting a beautiful and cozy decor. The music selection adds to the warm atmosphere, creating an immersive experience. The cocktails are truly excellent, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. It's a recommended spot for those seeking a relaxed yet elegant evening.

Not so good service, waiter touching our belongings, spilling cocktails without apologising, splashing wet liquid on my back for no reason. Management needs to be improved, same with some etiquette trainings.

Mia thé maître d was amazing and very lovely. Thank you Mia!! The service was also great

One of the best places to have a drink in London. The historic 1930s venue is sublime, the service is attentive and the cocktails are refined.

The Coral room will always be a firm favourite of mine. If you are looking for great drinks or an afternoon for a special occasion, this place is always worth the visit. The staff are always extremely helpful and welcoming, and they always explain the menu to you perfectly. They have a great selection on the drinks menu, but the afternoon tea changes seasonally, which entices me to revisit. Can’t wait to go again soon!

Ich werde unser Besuch da nie mehr vergessen. Alles Top, vom Personal, zur Location bis zum Essen alles tadellos.... wenn ich wieder in London weile, muss ich unbedingt wieder kommen. Da reuen mich die vielen £ überhaupt nicht.

I came here for an evening catch up with a friend in June 2023. Great atmosphere, a quiet and peaceful spot in a busy area.

I visited the Coral Room with my mum on 7th December. We were served by Shukran as well as some other waitresses, they were all great and even got us some extra sandwiches. My second time visiting the Coral Room and it was great again

Excellent environment, quiet , classy and elegant

Really beautiful bar area and even better fireplace cosy lounge. Aesthetically pleasing and the service was top notch 🫶🏾 Thanks to our marvellous waiter! The jasmine tea served in a flute was magnificent

Booked a table for my anniversary with my boyfriend and was such a shame because the vibe was so nice and the cocktails were okay but we had horrible service! The brunette lady at the front desk was really rude and abrupt. She tried to tell us we didn’t have a table when I told her we were there for drinks and then when I told her we had a booking she seemed really reluctant to give us a table despite me literally booking this in advance a couple of days ago. Also told another waiter that we wanted to split the bill and she didn’t listen and put the full charge on one card, barely apologised and ran off hahaha. Heads up to anyone going that if you run into a mean brunette front of house receptionist — you’ll probably have to beg her for a table even if you have a booking 😂 Seems like some people have had great experiences here so just depends on who you run into!

We went to this bar every day during our stay, special thanks to Jasmine who treated us with a really special care, always smiling, professional and available for any demand. If I could recommend some of the dishes we had, it would be the ceviche, the croquettes, the buttermilk chicken and the parmesan and truffle fries. Thanks to all the staff, especially the two Johns, Hannah, Marie and Shukran. Every cocktail we had was fantastic, great quality drinks and products were used.

Wide selection of cocktails and they were pretty nice Love the ambience but the music was quite loud (live DJ) on a Friday night so it’s probably not a good place to chat😂 Service was good ☺️

To start with the positive, service was very attentive, caring, and friendly which is always wonderful. Also, the cocktail pricing is extremely affordable. On the downside, I found the decor and atmosphere extremely pokey, featuring selfie-taking tourists, people eating at the bar, and precarious barstools. I feel almost reticent about writing a review as the staff were indeed lovely but this simply is not a bar that offers an experience that is comparable to the best that London has to offer. Artesian, Connaught, and maybe Common Decency are all worthy contenders for a place to see and be seen.

Loved! What a fun experience. Go for afternoon tea. The tea and treats are delicious. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is gorgeous. It’s also the best priced afternoon tea in London!

One of the best places I’ve been to in London. I went to The Coral Room for drinks followed by dinner at Dalloway Terrace and had such a great time. The venue is spectacular, the staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive and the ambience was incredible. Highly recommend!

It's a lovely place with great ambience, friendly staff and the in-house cocktails were novel and delish. There was also a DJ on deck for the Thursday vinyl music special but the music selection could be better. Some Bossa Nova mixes would suit the Coral Room really well imho.

Went there to celebrate my birthday with some pre-dinner cocktails and Gio and his team looked after us so well, the atmosphere is just so great and my favourite place in London to have a cocktail! Thanks for having us!

Amazing evening in one of the chicest bars im Soho (London). Special thanks to the amazing host Georgy who made us so welcome and comfortable. Coming back soon…. Xoxo

I have it 4 stars - it is beautiful inside, the wait staff are all friendly, but I believe the presentation of food and drinks (esp. tea time) lacked the ambience expected.

A great bar within The Bloomsbury Hotel. Service is easy going and not overbearing. One can easily have a conversation.

David , the supervisor , Simply the top , Gentle and care about any custumer need , top !!!!

What a hidden gem for afternoon tea! Joel was the tea master - he captained our incredible tea service and made sure we were all stocked up on sandwiches and scones the entire time. I have a dietary restriction and substitutions were made with ease. I will definitely come back next time I am in town, if only to experience Joel's lovely personality again!

I love the place, the team, the drinks. Amazing experience as always.

Had a wonderful experience here. The ambience is lovely and the wine was great. Special shout-out to our waitress Shukran, who made us feel welcome and was extremely friendly and patient. Will definitely be back soon!

Rude with customers!! NEVER COME AGAIN

Lovely place to get a drink. There’s a huge number of cocktails on offer - a little overwhelming, actually, and not helped by the fact they’re in three separate menus. But the drinks themselves were truly excellent, and they give you free nibbles, which is always appreciated. The person who sat us was very nice, but one of the dark-haired waitresses had quite an aggressive manner, and was very abrupt. Still - a nice place for a quick pre-dinner drink, and would recommend if you’re in the area!

The lady with the long black hair in a pony tail serving us came across as very rude and unfriendly. The room and drinks were lovely but the service was tainted by her experience.

Interesting interior design and great service, thanks to Shelina !

We had an excellent evening, there was a great atmosphere. David was our waiter, he was efficient, friendly, extremely helpful and gave us exceptional service. He is an asset to your team.

The Coral Room is a great place for afternoon tea or aperitif. Great place to hide from the rainy weather and get a warm feeling again.

One of the best experiences with afternoon tea in London! It is somewhat less well known as an afternoon tea spot compared to, say, Harrods or Fortnum and Mason, but it is definitely worth it and everything from the food and service to the atmosphere is on par with the big ones! The staff are very meticulous about making sure they abide by everyone’s tastes, allergies and dietary restrictions, and are very patient and friendly! The coral room is also very well situated, only a 2 minute walk from the British museum and in the heart of beautiful Bloomsbury. Would definitely recommend as a must for a traditional afternoon tea experience!

Wonderful cocktails, staff kept water topped too. Overall a lovely place

Friendly welcome and service from Shelina and the awesome team. It's a stunning room, yet super comfortable. Great loose leaf teas, and yummy cocktails.

Fully enjoyed proper tea in the Coral Room and then hung out for some cocktails! ☕️ Excellent dishes and service. It was relaxing and felt as if I was Zelda Sayre visiting London in the roaring 20s. The decor is fabulous! I only wish I had a better outfit on to take some fun pics with. 🍸 amazing! I can see how they’re well known for these. They have a very fun menu with illustrations and inventive and unique flavor combos. Would absolutely go back here purely for the atmosphere and the comfortability of it all. I tend not to like a ton of people, so it was good we came here on the Monday.

Nice atmosphere as decor is lovely but food is atrocious. You would think they could find some better cooks with the prices. Worst sandwiches I have ever tasted and scones were as hard as a rock.

Artsy cocktail place, nice vibe, perfect for families and friends gathering, especially after a long visit to the museum. Shelina is so helpful and gave a great intro about the building. Will come back for sure!

Came in today for Brunch. Really really enjoyed the dishes we ordered. However, my two faults are that the service was quite slow although our waitress was very kind and I didn’t enjoy my Banana daiquiri cocktail, it tasted too strong.

During our first time visiting London, we really wanted to try out the classic team time experience. After looking around for the best-rated places, this one popped up. When we went in, we realized that a reservation was required, but the hosts were so accommodating that they arranged with the kitchen to serve us. Once seated, we were greeted by Shukran and she thoroughly explained the menu to us. To make a long story short, we had the most wonderful experience enjoying the scones, sandwiches, desserts, and of course the tea (you can order coffee instead if you'd like). Shukran made us feel very welcome and we were there for almost 3 hours! Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and if you're able to be served by Shukran, then you're in for a wonderful time.

Venue & decor excellent, trendy and lux. However, let down by poor service & rude waitress with bad attitude (who tried to justify a 30 minute wait for the first drink - quote, “you should be grateful we didn’t charge you for it “ … and was just not customer focused or friendly). Shame, since the vibe and environment were very cool.

Very bad service! Rude waitress

Fabulous gimlet, nice and cool on a muggy London day

Fantastic! Had such a nice afternoon tea with my mum here who was visiting from NZ. The service was great they really helped us make the most of the afternoon tea, with trying a couple different teas, extra clotted cream :). We ate so much we were very full and still didn't eat everything so were able to take the leftovers with us which was great! Will 100% recommend.

It was ok but I don't think I will visit again. The receptionist did not even bother to check my reservation because of my delay due to subway interruptions. Luckily my invitees came to my rescue.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Lovely decor, beautiful food and the service was brilliant. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion. Plus, there was air con which is always a bonus!

I was looking at originally doing an afternoon tea at Harrods or the other more known places and so glad I came here instead. The interiors and atmosphere were so lovely i could have stayed there all day. I was a solo traveler and my waitress was so warm and lovely. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Would definitely recommend for a nice day out solo or with friends.
