Best London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of London Bridge Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The food was great, although not a lot of vegetarian options, which isn’t ideal. But the smoked mushrooms curry was delicious and the roasted cabbage the best I ever had! The sandwich (meat) and Mac and cheese were also quite good and overall it was a good experience - we walked in without a booking and were sat immediately! Only downside, we ordered a beer that was really odd (flat, irony, it seemed very off) and asked to change it and we were charged for it as the bartender said it was its regular taste - if you know you have something that odd on your menu maybe let people know!

Traditional old British pub, full of local patrons on Sunday afternoon. The vibe was nice, warm and cozy, with bursts of laughter at times. First time in a pub, seems like you need to find a seat. Waitress/server was a bit cold and poker faced when I politely asked about seating. The bartenders were more welcoming and helpful, giving me a sip to try a recommendation of his before ordering the beer. Love the Golden George beer, light and fruity. They accept both cash and card.

We stopped by for a few drinks. Beautiful place. Well maintained. I have not been here for years. Loved the quirkiness of this old coaching inn, the wooden beams, the galley restaurant upstairs. Narrow staircase. Good beers. We will be back for dinner next time.

Built in 1864 as a large hotel, the old George Tavern welcomed guests from all walks of life to London’s Isle of dogs. And despite it being remodeled in 1932, The George of today is no different. As one of the few remaining pubs on the Island. There are delicious food, cask and craft ales, premium and spirits, fine wines and heated beer garden. The steak and caramelized onion sandwich with cheese sauce, served with rich beef gravy, is a truly fantastic and delicious menu option. I absolutely love it. Every bite is exquisite, with tender and flavorful beef. The atmosphere inside is as cozy as being at home, and the potato chips are also excellent.

The George Inn, or The George, is a public house established in the medieval period on Borough High Street in, London, owned and leased by the National Trust. It is located about 250 metres (820 ft) from the south side of the River Thames near London Bridge & the Borough Market and is the only surviving galleried London coaching inn. The staff are friendly and helpful in accommodating & their knowledge of the history of the building. The beers, wines & spirits are varied & good value for the centre of London. Plenty of seating within this establishment, parasols on each table & a heated courtyard with long benches and tables. Definitely worth a visit.

It was my first time visiting, found this place from the Michelin guide. Easy to locate and fantastic first impression from the host till my table. Lovely ambience and professional service throughout. My favourite is they offer great market menu catering first timer like me; An extensive wine and fortified wine selections. Well priced appropriate portion from appetiser till dessert. One of the best restaurant I ever had in London. The detailed service that I love about is the offering coatroom service. I will definitely back here again!

What a great spot for traditional British roast. The Yorkshire pudding was excellent and the beef was tasty and tender. The cocktails were also quite delicious. It’s definitely not a Sunday night at the pub and far more upscale. And such a great location right in the borough market.

I dined at Roast restaurant on New Year's Eve and unfortunately had a disappointing experience compared to the high prices charged. The food itself was excellent - I enjoyed the fish and well-seasoned sides. However, the service really fell short. Our server was inattentive and at one point mid pouring our drinks stopped to deal with another customer! While the elegant, upscale ambiance suits the cuisine, the execution from the wait staff failed to match it. The delicious food alone was not enough to justify the bill at the end of the night. The saddest thing was I went to Roast for the first time about 5 years ago and nothing had changed. Great food, bad service and overpriced. I hope the restaurant can improve training to provide an experience more fitting of the prices.

Great upscale restaurant. Staff was friendly and service was fast. I was surprised but appreciated that they asked if I had any allergies after ordering. Had to get the beef wellington, which did not disappoint! Great flavor and texture.

Absolutely stunning meal! The ambience, food, drinks and service was excellent. The Big Ben cocktail looked amazing and tasted great. Their chateaubriand was superb - the best I’ve had in my life! Their beef wellington and roast beef is also a must try. We ended the meal with a lovely sticky toffee pudding mousse which so delicious and wasn’t too heavy.

Staff weren't rude... Just not friendly or welcoming and definitely no smiles - certainly don't know what was going on with them tonight. I hope they're OK. The food was average to say the least. A schnitzel that needed full force to cut through, it was thick and over seasoned. Will say that the portions are generous but there's no love in that there food; it was fodder. The drinks went down well. Shame but we won't be returning.

We went on a Friday evening, and managed to catch the tail end of the Christmas parties and the lull before the lads groups came out. We had jaeger schnitzel and roast pork, both were good for the price. I preferred the pork as the schnitzel was slightly overcooked. Service was reasonable for a busy day. Big queue, but it moved quickly as groups went to the bar. The food was relatively slow to come out (we separately ordered a pretzel, which was also slow to arrive). I take this as a sign of it being freshly prepared, so a very good thing. I felt the food fairly good, for German food. Beer was good too, a standard offering (Paulaner).

This is the best pub/ tavern I've visited in London so far. List of things that have been great: cozy and inviting location, friendly but unobtrusive service, fair prices, large selection of tasty pies, and of course the beer. ;-) I guess that's worth a try!

A short walk from London bridge station (literally straight up the road, easy) you'll find this beautiful pub. Prices as expected in central London. Food was good, typical fancy pub grub served on a wooden chopping board, portions are small, not great for vegans/veggies. Let's focus on the positives - stunning pub with lots of character, great atmosphere and location. Defo worth a pit stop for a pint if you're in the area.

Great pub just outside of London Bridge Station. Prime location. Have been here several times over the years and it's a nice starting point for drinks with friends. Staff were lovely. Very cheerful and offered a top class service. The food is very nice, as you'd expect with a Fullers. I had the mini steak pie and mash for £7.50 which I thought was an absolute bargain. The menu is also very good. Decent choice and price is normal for London. I've marked it down a star overall because the drinks were just a bit too pricey. We ventured elsewhere nearby and they were a pound cheaper in the same standard place. The pounds add up! Also marked down for atmosphere as the air con was on too much and it was too chilly. Definitely go back, though, for one!

Very busy Friday night, staff had no issue with single diner and gave great service! Dining area upstairs, private party 3rd level. Had the fish cakes and veg side, couple glasses of wine. Again, staff works very hard and hopefully appreciated!

Right around the entrance of Borough market. This tapas place is busy on a weekend night. However, the waiting time was very manageable. we had a drik at the bar, the inside table was ready. everything we tried was delicious. Good service too.

Food is very authentic - I ordered the prawns, tomato bread and croquettes. It was all excellent, but the croquettes were the winning dish! The atmosphere is lovely, warm lighting and good music. Service is good, but quite slow. Will be back!
Amy Skinner - 3 months ago

Staff were friendly but they forgot 2 things we ordered. It's a tapas restaurant so it should be pretty common that people order many dishes but we needed to ask twice unfortunately. It'll be better if the waiter can ask us if everything is okay so we don't need to frustrate to call someone. Food was good but not exceptional.

One of the best tapas bars in London. Prawns in Garlic and Goats cheese with honey are our absolute favourites. Delicious 😋

*BEWARE allergy sufferers* Whilst the traditional Spanish Tapas was absolutely delicious, my friend (who has a severe nut allergy) and I were both shocked at the serious risk at which this restaurant is placing its customers when it comes to lack of care regarding food allergies. Neither upon arrival nor before ordering did our waiter ask us about any allergies and the printed menu here does not state any allergen information next to the dishes. As a result of these failures, having ordered the Chicken Thighs With Romesco Sauce, we only realised it contained nuts when the plate arrived (which we had to send back of course due to my friend's serious nut allergy). Whilst the lovely female manager immediately offered us a replacement and looked after us like VIPs we both expressed serious concerns about the lack of visible allergen information and the "near miss" we experienced. My recommendations to the BRINDISA management are as follows: 1. Ensure it's standard practice for ALL staff (including bar and waiting staff) to ask customers if they have any allergies when booking, upon arrival at the restaurant and then again prior to ordering any food or drinks 2. Have clear allergen information printed (in bold) underneath each dish/item on the menu 3. Require waiting staff to verbally inform customers of allergens present in dishes ordered (for.example "Just to let you know the chicken romesco contains nuts")

We went out for a Christmas meal together and I really loved the food , ribs were tasty and my partner loved the desserts as she looks at that first. Was a really busy night, packed so I would book ahead if you want to be safe. Will go back and try the burgers as I’m not a pizza fan.

We wanted to visit a restaurant after a theatre play. We made sure this restaurant's closing time was 23:30 so we booked. The restaurant wasn't busy but the toilet was pretty dirty. So no wonder we saw a mouse/rat running around the floor. It was really disgusting to see. We ordered steaks for medium rare, my partner's one was fine but mine was blue/rare so couldn't eat. I had to ask to cook more eventually but no apology. The bearnaise sauce wasn't great. The salad looked fancy but they don't think of the customer, they just tear the lettuce in big chunky pieces so you have to cut the lettuce on the plate, I've never had such a salad. At 23:00 we were asked to leave as they closed, I guess there wasn't other customers so they decided to close earlier. We asked the closing time on the booking besides it took time for re-cooking the steak by their mistake but we were forced to leave. It was awful. My partner planned the night for us so I don't wanna complain but I don't think we will visit here again.

This was the second time I visited this restaurant and its still a great place to eat at. The venue is so airy open and bright, Wonderful for a sunny afternoon lunch. The decor is modern and chic. It has a French bistro sort of vibe even though its a steakhouse. The food was great. Very tasty and well presented. The staff are nice and friendly. Initially they were attentive and came over regularly but this started to slip during our visit. We didn't have 1 specific staff member attending to us, which was a little annoying. 1 server (who may have been the manager) was really good and sounded like they knew their stuff redeemed them for a while. It's a nice place and I would still visit again.

It was quite a nice discovery! We went there on a Saturday evening, and we had no trouble finding a table. We got two cider and fish n chips (totally recommend it, it’s super nice and we had one and it’s enough fir two people) However we didn’t get any information about the closing part of the first floor at 10.30pm, we only had one member of the staff telling us to go downstairs directly. Fortunately we had time to eat our plate beforehand, otherwise it would have been complicated. Would totally recommend! The location is perfect.

After a visit to BAO in Borough Market, we found ourselves drawn to the inviting atmosphere of Anchor, a quintessential British pub known for its fish and chips and Sunday roast. Ready to climb a few stairs, we entered the self-seating establishment, greeted by a bustling ambiance and a great selection of beers on tap and bottled. As we perused the menu, we couldn't help but feel that it could benefit from a bit of streamlining, focusing on staple items to ensure consistency and quality. Nevertheless, we opted for the iconic fish and chips, a classic choice that certainly lived up to its reputation. While the fish and chips were a hit, the same couldn't be said for the steak sandwich on ciabatta bread. Priced at £10, it fell short of expectations, lacking flavor and tenderness. It highlighted the importance of refining the menu to showcase Anchor's standout dishes. Despite the culinary misstep, the overall experience was enjoyable. The historic building and cool location added to the charm of the visit, leaving us intrigued enough to consider giving Anchor another chance in the future. In summary, Anchor offers a lively atmosphere, a great beer selection, and iconic British dishes like fish and chips. However, inconsistencies in menu offerings suggest room for improvement. With some refinement and focus on staple items, Anchor has the potential to elevate its dining experience. For now, it earns a modest 3 out of 5 stars, with the hope of a more satisfying experience upon our return.

Ordered the fish and chips which were amazing! One of the best I have had in London 😀 Also got Chicken Kyiv was pretty good but very oily. Do grab some beer with it, helps! The staff is friendly and you can request beer tasting before purchase. Def worth a try! Fun atmosphere by the waterfront and chill vibes, grab a table under an umbrella especially to take cover from the London rains. Close to Shakespeare Theatre 🎭.
Sonali Bhatnagar - 2 months ago

We had a nice relaxing time sitting in after hours of strolling in the city. Warm and welcoming atmosphere, mellow lighting with a nice view of Thames. Fun fact: it’s the only tavern that left from Shakespeare’s time and lived through the London fire (with renovation). I definitely recommend to head in while you’re around and check out this historic pub.
Tamás Papp - 5 months ago

A fine historic pub popular with tourists at which you can normally get a table. Ordered several food items from the sides/sharers and most arrived cold or lukewarm, although were replaced quickly when we pointed it out. It was around £7.30 for a Peroni which is fine for the location, but less fine when it's served in an unbranded generic pint glass. Service, food and atmosphere is all a bit Wetherspoony which is absolutely fine if you're expecting that sort of thing.

Beneath the grand arches of London Bridge, lies The Mug House pub – it's a portal to a bygone era. Stepping inside is like stepping back in time, with its oak-panelled walls, old furniture, and antique curios adorning every corner. The warm candlelight and low hum of conversation create an atmosphere that's both inviting and intimate. The Mug House boasts a rich history dating back to the 18th century, and it oozes charm from every brick. The menu at The Mug House is a celebration of classic British fare, with hearty dishes like bangers and mash, roast beef, and fish and chips gracing the pages. Whether you're looking for a cosy corner to curl up with a good book, a lively atmosphere for drinks with friends, or a hearty meal, The Mug House has something for everyone. It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of London and unwind in a truly unique and historic setting.

Hidden away under the road onto London Bridge this is an pub with character in it's style and selection of drinks. One of only a few places that you can get Davy's celebrated old wallop, by the pint or a 4 pints jug. The lighting and vaulted ceilings make it very atmospheric. It's position, just off the beaten track, keeps it not too busy at lunchtime making the service excellent.
Ron Ron - in the last week

A pub for pub people. A great little tucked away drinking hole under the inimitable London Bridge. Surprisingly friendly patrons for a central London boozer, everyone is happy to raise a glass and smiles come easy. Some might find it a little rustic with uneven floors and a couple of door says to duck through, but it all adds to the authentic charm of the place. Pull up a chair, enjoy a local pint, and witness the history around you.

We rented the whole venue for an event and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Throughout the planning and the night itself, all the staff we came into contact with went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Their hospitality, knowledge and friendliness made our party all the better. The catering was great and the venue very accomodating to our band and decorations etc..5* all the way.
