Wigmore Hall Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

One of London's most famous yet intimate concert halls. With world class artists performing to packed enthusiastic audiences in a very unfussy setting. Always a joy and highly recommended if you're in town check out what's on an treat yourself. There's a great bar and restaurant too where you can relax before and after or just drop into.

Brilliant family concert! We went to one +7y and it was just brilliant

I attended a concert here last week, the second one I've been to at Wigmore Hall. The venue itself is fantastic, perfect for chamber music, being small and intimate. Every seat has a good view of the stage, and the venue is impeccably well kept and tidy. Tickets are well priced, and for under 25s are often free. Under 35s also get discounted tickets. For the concert I saw, the venue was only half full, which seems a shame considering the quality of the event, so I would definitely recommend that anyone in London book tickets for a concert here.

There's something very special about this place.

Lovely venue for concerts. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice looking restaurant downstairs.

Clean, comfortable with a real history as a music venue. Welcoming staff, coffee/sherry after concert a real treat. Not big, very suited to the piano recital.

Premier league concert hall in a lovely central location. Great harmonics too!

Great concert hall with excellent sound acoustics

Arrived at about 6pm, restaurant was almost empty, but staff were welcoming and offered us a bar or A la carte restaurant menu. Chose A la carte menu, 2 courses for £30, 3 for £40. Sat at a nicely -laid table for 2, staff were welcoming and attentive, so far so good. We were presented with menus and served promptly with drinks, offered a choice of rolls and butter and our orders were taken in a polite and friendly manner. The starters were well-presented and flavoursome. The main courses (both fish- cakes) were fine, but unexciting. After this, the waiter offered us coffee, and we asked to see a dessert menu, at which point his attitude changed and told us we should have ordered all courses at once because it runs like a train and they needed to be ready for the performance at 7.30. We told him nobody had said anything about that to us, and he justified the position further, saying that anyone who arrived after 6.45 is only offered the bar menu (it was 6.50). However, he said they’d make an exception and took our dessert orders! We waited and waited and the restaurant filled up with pre-concert customers from 7pm. We were only able to attract the waiter’s attention at 7.15 or so and he assumed we wanted the bill (we’d given up on the idea of dessert by then as the concert did indeed start at 7.30), so he arrived with the payment machine and a bill for 2 x 2 courses @£30 each, drinks and 2 x 1 course @ £25 EACH! for desserts that they hadn’t brought, bringing the total to £125! Fortunately they recalculated the bill and we paid just in time to get to the concert, but what a disappointment after a promising start!

Great place for music & refreshments. So welcoming - very friendly & helpful staff - always! It is a compact hall & the acoustics wonderful. Probably my favourite place in London for baroque music & recitals. Back again later this month!

A beautiful venue for beautiful music.. Highly recommend if you are in London and wish to attend a classical performance. It usually has several performances a day

Lovely as always such superb acoustics. Audience so engaged and appreciative of Tunde Jegede and the NOK orchestra playing exquisitely. An interesting programme showcasing African classical music - lookforward to the next concert

Great place for concerts. Staff are very nice and friendly. They are happy to help and accommodate. I also recommend the bar and restaurant downstairs. Excellent atmosphere and quality!

Comfortable seats, great acoustics, clean loos (and plenty of them), polite and helpful staff... what's not to love about Wigmore Hall?

Acoustics are just wow you can hear everything.

Brillante, me he emocionado hasta las lágrimas. Nuca había asistido a la ópera. Gracias por promover la belleza.

We had a dire experience in the restaurant last night. Seated at 6.15 p.m. our orders were not taken until 6.40. We asked to have one course but were told that two were obligatory. The first course was not served until 6.55 p.m. At 7.20 the bells for performance were ringing and we had no time to eat our main course, so it was waiting for us in the interval, but the time was inadequate to finish. The soup was cold and the fishcakes uninspiring. What happened to the efficiency of yesteryear?

Brilliant venue, location and phenomenal performance. Strongly recommend booking a 1pm performance as an inspirational and invigorating lunch break. Taken by my partner to see Vedran Janjanin play (amongst others) Scriabin. His work speaks for itself- go check him out. However it a beautiful venue, and lunch performances are as little as £10! Plus, extra kudos for considering even us aged 34 year olds for your young person discount to £5. Go go go!

Relax in style listening to magical music 🎶

Great mid sized concert hall in Central London. Focusses in Chamber music due to the size of the stage. Beautiful hall.

A beautiful Victorian hall where you can sit, listen and relax. Found out about its existence through a colleague and decided to experiment one cold night. It’s such a lovely place, a bit like a time capsule just off Bond Street. Went to listen to a string quartet - felt my emotions quite attuned to the rhythm of the compositions and the excellent musicians. I’ll definitely come back. The hall is easily accessible by public transport. There is a bar/restaurant but didn’t have the chance to try it. The music room is good size, not too big and comfortable.

Great classical music venue with wonderful season this year. Acoustic not the best but very intimate feel

Always wonderful atmosphere and concerts. Comfortable seating. Friendly staff.

Excellent concert and lunch. One of my all time favourite venues

Beautiful venue but there is no slope to the stage. Makes it a bit challenging to see the performers. Closer seats will be better.

My son and I went to a lunch hour concert given by Sir Willard White. A lovey hour well spent!

Nowhere better to hear an intimate concert by some of the best musicians performing today.

Une des meilleures salles du monde!

The Wigmore Hall is always a welcoming place to visit. Courteous professional staff, free programme with song lyrics translated Too bad the concert itself on Thursday night was a tad under par. You win some. You lose some.

Wonderful space for classical music!

Thanks so much for your service

For context, this review is for the concert hall, which is a beautiful and intimate venue. The artist I saw there was amazing. Great to see and lovely to hear. As expected, acoustics are mesmerising and upon leaving, I felt so relaxed and 'zen'. Will definitely return without a doubt. Glad I discovered this place, I've been missing out.

Always beautiful sound for classical chamber music. This was harpsichord, recorder, bassoon and strings.

An acoustically perfect concert hall for chamber music. Many of the world's best performers of Western classical music appear here. The Sunday morning concerts are just an hour long and very reasonably priced, attract a faithful audience of all ages and are a great way to become familiar with standard and lesser-known works.

Absolutely great hall, staff are lovely and helpful. In a great location.

Top notch venue for smaller classical works.

Probably the best chamber music hall in the world, always packed with the most talented performers. It’s an absolute treat to have it continuously delivering outstanding music in an affordable fashion. If in doubt, pay a visit. A must for London.

We had booked for an early meal at 5pm so it was very quiet when we arrived but quickly filled up and developed a lovely atmosphere. There were a number of young people serving and it was a pleasure to see them being so well trained. The table settings are immaculate, the glasses were gleaming! and the food delicious. we were in London for a few days and this evening was a highlight.

Superb Bach sonatas, both JS and CPE.

It feels like the pianist playing the piano right next to me. Amazing acoustic!

Always best interprters in town. Beautiful hall. Educated adiences not uptight nor too freindly/chatty. I can have my own space before listwning to sublime music.

Fabulous intimate chamber concert venue with fantastic acoustic. Had the privilege of hearing the Doric String Quartet playing Schubert's D.887 in G ... exquisite playing from a quartet at the top of their game!

Amazing hall with amazing artist 👏 the place to be when you need a relax day in London.

Best intimate concert venue in London.

It was a lovely night with mozart sonatas. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Fab acoustic for all sorts of music

Such a lovely place to go for performances and shows. Traditional but spacious. Wonderful acoustics during the concert. Brilliant venue, it is just fantastic. This is absolutely one of my favourite places in London.

one of the best acoustics in the world. everything can be heard in all areas equally well (have sat through a few different spots over the years). programming is spectacular. go go go!

Nice & historical building.have had a beautiful piano concert from Mozart.

Insufferable audience. Pompous unpleasant and pseudo posh.

Fabulous venue for piano concertos and other music. They have an amazing deal for under 35s- all tickets are only £5!!

It's a really cool place to see a classical concert. The venue is quite small but it doesn't matter.

Visit with My kids on a school trip. The program and performance was amazing. Well done.

A beautiful venue to enjoy chamber music, which is well worth frequenting!

Great venue, wonderful acoustics and helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Acoustics not ideal for piano recital. Booking fee expensive compared to price of lunch-time recital tickets.

It’s a great venue for classical. Also, they have 5 pound tickets for various performances for those under 35 years old! (At least in June 2023)

It's not a hotel it's a performance venue.

I enjoyed a fantastic concert performed by students from the String Department of The Royal College of Music, and was incredibly impressed by their technical brilliance and musicianship. The concert line-up in the upcoming season brochure is outstanding in terms of wonderful musicians and repertoire. I wouldn't miss the opportunity to attend more concerts whenever visiting London.

What a treat - 65 min of chamber music!

I have been to Wigmore hall for at least 15 times in 1.5 month. Always feel very warmly welcomed by staffs. The concerts are just amazing, eyes (and ears!!!) opening!!!! Ps their ice creams selling during the concert intermission are just fantastic too! I chose plant based vanilla flavour since I am lactose intolerant. Highly recommend everyone to try other flavours on my behalf!

Perhaps the best chamber music venue in the world. The London home of the string quartet.

Still one of the best places for classical music small groups

Beautiful people with exceptional customer service, eager to help.

Review: Wigmore Hall - A Haven for Musical Excellence Rating: ★★★★★ Nestled in the heart of London, Wigmore Hall stands as a beacon of musical excellence and a cherished haven for lovers of classical music.

The attention to detail and commitment to artistic excellence is evident in every aspect of a Wigmore Hall concert. The programming is thoughtfully curated, often featuring thematic or historically significant programs that provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of the music being performed.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend to all who like piano!

Happy to find a treasure place to enjoy classic music. The staff are really friendly.

Photos are not allowed inside. Staff are nice and friendly

Best small concert hall in London...high class artists trios, quartets, piano recitals, leider

The Wigmore Hall was as ever the perfect concert venue. It's size makes attending a concert an intimate and pleasurable experience. The staff are ever keep to help and work to make attending a concert a pleasure and a joy. The Wigmore Hall acoustics are superb and it is these combined qualities that make a visit such a pleasure.

Nice environment and good acoustic.

We really enjoyed the concert we saw. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A classic either fabulous range of music almost every night of week. Great bar and snacks too

This was my first visit here to listen to some piano music. The atmosphere was excellent, acoustics great and a good bar as well. Some great photos in the bar area. The performance was really good and the programme of future events looks great. Highly recommended.

Attended a Strings and Clarinet Concert here. Good view from the Balcony seats. Decent bar area.

One of the best places for chamber music.

We went to see a soprano and harpist and it was incredible. It's a beautiful building, the staff were lovely and the tickets were well priced

Lovely experience of tranquility and wonderful music 🎶

Unforgettable experience ! Gorgeous small venue, wonderful acoustics, decent piano, amazing audience, very helpful and kind staff. Thank you very much for the very warm welcome.

I bought a ticket for a future concert.

A jewel-box of a hall and one of THE places for serious lovers of classical music in London. Terrific acoustics, reasonable prices, and reasonably well-behaved audiences (no clapping between movements, cell phones going off, or candy wrapper disturbances, but yikes, folks, what’s with the coughing?). Truly enjoyed seeing the Marmen Quartet there during their Sunday morning series and pianist Beatrice Rana alongside violinist Simone Lamsma the other evening. Btw, lovely staff: kind, young, pleasant, and helpful.

Absolutely delightful place to hear music. The acoustics are superb and the hall is small and intimate.

Lovely venue, lovely environment and perhaps the most economical way to enjoy the best UK and international musicians and performers of classical music. Kind of a very well kept secret, it's a gem.

Culture always a great way to start your day

Beautiful venue and and world class chamber ensembles. The £5 tickets for under 35s are a great bonus!

Love this hall in the heart of Marylebone... very nice bar areas on the lower ground... perfect acoustic for hosting musicians... only downside is that you don't see well from everywhere... so if you sit behind someone tall you are skewed...

Beautiful and intimate concert hall with excellent acoustics. Have seen many of the chamber music performances there whenever we are in London. Saw the Aris Quartet perform on Sunday at 11.30am. The Sunday at 11.30am performances are an hour long with no intermission. You get to have a glass of sherry or coffee after the performance. Ticket prices are very reasonable. Attached below is the schedule of the Sunday at 11.30am performances for March through April. Would strongly recommend a visit if you are in London. Advance ticket purchases are a must as the concerts are very popular.

The best chamber music venue in the world!

What’s not to like - we’ve been to two Sunday morning concerts - superb musicians and an appreciative audience. What a great way to start a Sunday. And then perhaps a trip to see the Wallace Collection and lunch etc. Well done Wigmore Hall.

Cool little spot which host some very classy nights maybe good to try something different- I enjoyed something didn’t think I would

Amazing acoustics. A rare venue, to be cherished!

Famous venue for chamber music and lieder

If you can catch the video of Van Cliburn winner Yunchan Lim in first British concert in Jan. 2023, you will see the future of classical piano. Extraordinary!

Super acoustics , friendly staff , good food

A fantastic English Art Deco concert hall to attend for chamber music. Can get quite expensive for tickets but goes towards the restoration. Lunchtime drop ins are popular.

My 1st concert at the famous Wigmore Hall - we saw the Hagen Quartet play Mozart last night. So impressed with them - the 3 Hagen siblings Lukas, Veronica & Clemens, joined by Rainer Schmidt - all from Salzburg in Austria. They’ve been playing together since 1981 & 1987 (Schmidt) & it shows. They are a joy to watch - the connection between them is so strong, and with music like Mozart it’s always fun to watch the interplay when there is such a close bond as his music is full of fun & surprise & that’s why I love the intimacy of a string quartet. The Hall itself is lovely - beautiful setting with excellent acoustics. Seating was a little compact in space and it was full where we were and a bit stifling so we moved further back where it was less crowded, after the first piece. Might’ve been more to do with me being ill with a chest infection though. The Bar/Cafe downstairs is surprisingly large - we only had drinks so can’t comment on food offerings.

Für mich persönlich der schönste Konzertsaal Londons mit einer außerordentlich guten Akustik, die sich ideal für die vielfältigen Lieder- und Kammermusikabende eignet, die dort ganzjährig stattfinden. Der im Jahre 1901 vom Berliner Klavierhersteller Bechstein als 'Bechstein Hall' eröffnete Saal (im Ersten Weltkrieg als 'Feindesgut' deklariert und enteignet) wurde vom Architekten des Londoner Savoy Hotels entworfen und ist mit seiner dunkelroten Bestuhlung und den Wanddekorationen auch visuell ein Juwel! Wenn also etwas passendes auf dem Spielplan steht - unbedingt hingehen. Die Preise sind eher moderat und es lohnt sich auf alle Fälle! Spiffing!

Delivering concrete to the new bechstein pianos concert hall @mixamate mix and pump service

Sunday concerts make living in London worth it

A good place to listen to inspiring music. Will visit it soon again.
