The best restaurants serving British food in St James's City of London, Westminster London

Great atmosphere great beers on tap.

Gem of an establishment in a fantastic location! Beautiful rooftop terrace with great views and a fine selection of drinks, perfect for the weather we've been having as of late👌🏽 The service we recieved was next to none, both Maisy and Nyron had fantastic chat, gave great recommendations, and made us feel right at home!

Nice hideaway as everything else around Leicester Sq was very busy & we couldn’t find seats. Music wasn’t great. The person behind the bar wasn’t very enthusiastic. It was ok, glad we got a seat in the pub, but it wouldn’t be my favourite sorry. Maybe on a different day - different music/crowd etc. ladies toilets upstairs. Older child friendly on weekends. We didn’t eat.

Six of us went to Champagne Charlies this evening. We were extremely fortunate to be looked after by Mattea. He is a real credit to Champagne Charlies and was exceptional in the manner in which he represented the restaurant and dealt with our requirements. My only request is that fish and chips are added to the menu.

A splendid setting – the outdoor seating area is very peaceful, the service is always prompt, and the food is excellent. 👌

La tienda de té TWG estaba justo al otro lado de nuestro hotel, el Thistle. Conocemos TWG por nuestros viajes a Singapur y Malasia. TWG es originalmente una empresa de Singapur y vende excelente té en contenedores distintivos; cientos de ellos se muestran en la tienda. Nos gusta Singapore Breakfast Tea y como nos estábamos quedando cortos en casa aprovechamos para comprar lo suficiente en TWG para atarnos hasta nuestra próxima visita a Londres. Si te gusta el té, entonces una visita a la tienda TWG en la plaza de Leicester es una necesidad.

Bueno, fui por un poco de té y pastel bastante agradable, pero lo que me llamó la atención fue un miembro del personal limpiando una mesa que simplemente tiró todas las migas en el suelo y luego continuó con lo que se suponía que debía hacer, que obviamente no estaba claro, ya que la mesa no se limpió para los próximos clientes. Llamé a alguien que parecía superior y le señalé que esto no era un café de cuchara grasienta y me avergonzaría ver que un prestigioso local como este se queda tan corto. Dijo que lo investigaría. Señalé un trozo de chocolate congelado en mi silla y su respuesta fue que eso debió haber ocurrido ayer. Así que eso está bien fue mi respuesta muy pobre! Ll

Excellent fish and chips and great beers. Violet's service was exceptional!!! We loved the family lunch!

Can you please help? We have been trying to get in touch since last night, I’ve made about 10 calls and can’t get through - a member of our party is unwell and we can’t make it today, we need to make a cancellation - can you please help us? We have emailed and called endlessly…

everytime i came in this Spaghetti House near Leicester Square i never come out disappointed. The pasta menu reflects traditional Italian recipes without distortions, which instead is often the case with many other restaurants that want to call themselves 'Italian' here in London. recommended

Stopped in for a quick drink, great place with friendly staff. Wide selection of beverages.

Valeria was lovely and very attentive. The food was excellent. Highly recommend.

The Chandos, London — A Pre-Theatre Classic With a G&T Twist Tucked just off Trafalgar Square and a gin-soaked stone’s throw from the London Coliseum, The Chandos isn’t just a bar — it’s a ritual. A well-timed tonic. A cultural interlude before the curtain rises.This legendary London watering hole blends the charm of a traditional British pub with just enough theatrical flair to set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Think Victorian woodwork, frosted glass, and a buzz of pre-show anticipation thick enough to taste.The G&T here? Classic, crisp, and served with confidence. No muddled over-mixology or pretentious garnishes — just a clean, cold pour that reminds you why this drink has stood the test of time. Their gin selection leans traditional, with just enough modern intrigue for the adventurous sipper. The crowd is a lively mix of opera lovers, tourists who’ve stumbled into something authentic, and locals who know this spot hits the sweet spot between pub and performance. So whether you’re heading to Tosca or just want a dash of culture with your cocktail, The Chandos is your overture. Raise a glass, sip slow, and let the show begin.

Lovely traditional pub in Covent Garden. Reasonably priced. I didn't eat but the food looked good. There were also some special burgers on that were a nice twist on the norm. Friendly staff.

The spare rib brisket meat pie had layers of flavor that were absolutely terrific..... Really glad we visited!
