This is a must visit when in London! An old school diner with fantastic food and generous portions! This is what exactly what I think of when I think Diner. Fast friendly service, a great seating plan for everyone to get a seat, and food, the food is great. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Fresh Coffee, Hot Milk, Delicious Orange Juice. If you miss it, you missed out!

My wife and our friends visited Cahoots Underground before going out to dinner and it was fabulous. The ambience and quirky service was brilliant and made the evening as well as the delicious cocktails that we had. A great place to go to.

Gestern waren wir im Angler,da wir vor 3 Jahren eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung dort hatten,also dachten wir,wir werden diesmal auf alle Fälle wieder kommen.Nur waren wir total enttäuscht. Für 155 Pfund pro Person für das 8 Gänge Menü,erwartet man schon was gutes. Aber es gab keinen Gang,der auf Sterne Niveau war. Im Gegenteil, dass essen war langweilig und schmeckte nach Nix,der Fisch trocken. Nach einem kurzen Gespräch fanden wir raus,dass es einen neuen Besitzer wohl gibt und einen neuen Chef Koch. Also hat diese Küche Nix ,mit dem „Alten“ Angler zu tun. Der Service ist miserabel,wirklich sehr schlecht. Wir hatten einen Kellner,der einfach nur unsympathisch war und genervt rüber kam. Das war also das letze Mal für uns im Angler und ich denke mit diesem neuen Besitzer,wird dieses Restaurant den Bach unter gehen.

Tomé el té clásico de la tarde aquí en agosto, que era fantástico, así que traje a mi hermana aquí para el té festivo de la tarde la semana pasada. Desafortunadamente fue muy decepcionante. El pan para los bocadillos estaba duro y seco. El sándwich de rábano picante y carne de res en particular fue decepcionante: una rebanada delgada e insípida de carne de res en pan espeso y seco con un pequeño trozo de rábano picante insípido. Los bollos se servían calientes, pero eran muy densos y secos y difíciles de comer. ¡Ni yo ni mi hermana pudimos terminar nuestros bollos, lo que es la primera vez para nosotros! El stollen fue un toque agradable, pero desafortunadamente no sabía a auténtico stollen en absoluto, y por lo que no lo terminamos. Los canapés y los postres eran agradables, y el servicio era bueno, pero la experiencia en general se arruinó por la comida no estaba a la altura esperada.

A wonderful evening. Delicious food and very friendly helpful staff 🙂

Best pub in London. Fantastic selection of real ale, great food and perfect community atmosphere. Go and see!

Great coffee and croissant. More shops like this needed in the area

This quaint café inside a church is a true hidden gem! The atmosphere is peaceful and unique, making it the perfect spot to relax. A special shoutout to Robyn, who was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful—she truly went above and beyond to make our day even better. Such a lovely experience with great service in a one-of-a-kind setting. Highly recommend checking it out!

Glorious building and a wonderful club. I attended an event that hosted 150+ for drinks and canapés. Delicious food, great service, beautiful surroundings.

Best restaurant 👌.Good service, food and workers are friendly.

It is beyond me how a restaurant can be so complete. The second we entered the restaurant we were incredibly welcomed with the joyful atmosphere and the staff being the best I have seen in any Michelin star restaurants I have been to. They were extremely professional while remaining incredibly nice and caring. The variety of the food, exceptional mastery of different ingredients by the chef and the presentation of the dish makes me mind boggled of how this restaurant only has 1 Michelin star. In the Michelin restaurants I have been to I have always had at least one or two dishes I didn’t like but here moving to the next dish was like a divorce for my taste buds of the wonderful flavor I had just encountered. On top of all of these things the song choice was amazing and helped with combining hearing with tasting. By far the highlight of my stay in London and definitely will be sending everyone I know here 😁

Very small, fine hotel. Very British. Friendly and attentive staff. Delicious and extensive breakfast menu. Nice atmosphere for afternoon tea. It takes 15 minutes to walk to the two nearest subway stations. Busststion for this almost on the doorstep.

Been coming here for 44 years (as the Alpini for most of them). Absolutely faultless, clean and fantastic value for a lovely breakfast. I really wish all concerned the very best you are keeping the very high standards of previous owners over the years.

The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it.
