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

Absolutely loved this hotel! The location was so perfect, literally steps to the Charing Cross tube station. The staff were so kind and housekeeping was so attentive and thorough. The room itself was nice, with comfy beds and a wonderful bathroom/shower. The only thing I can think of that might be an issue is that at night you can hear the trains running underground. If you are a light sleeper could be an issue. I will definitely be coming back!

Incredible hotel, amazing location, so clean and the rooms are extremely comfortable. Third stay for me and my family and every time is better than the one before. The mattresses and pillows are so comfortable, much needed after a full day exploring London. The breakfast is that of a 5 star hotel. The highlight? Antonio at this hotel's wonderful bar! He makes the best cocktails in London! For sure! Can't wait to return!

Five star review! The location of this hotel was perfect. Central to everything and a tube station steps away. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated with friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in the family suite and it exceeded our expectations as did the housekeeping services. I highly recommend staying here if visiting London.

Ideal location for a west end show visit. We were given a free room upgrade upon checking in and the room was lovely and quiet. All staff were extremely polite and would always greet you walking past. The breakfast was superb. Huge selection and quality was very high, exceeded expectations. Will definitely make this our hotel for future trips into London!

We stayed for 2 nights as family of 3 and would recommend the Clermont.The location is perfect right next to tube, train station and Trafalgar Square. The hotel itself is lovely, immaculately clean and all staff were friendly and helpful. We had a room with a sofa bed for our 10 year old. The room was spacious, clean, great amenities (daughter particularly liked the free sweets) and plenty of room for all of us. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and had a great night's sleep. The sofa bed was also very comfortable for my daughter (the same cannot be said for others in London hotels we have experienced). We were on the 4th floor and can hear the rumble of trains from the station but it didn't hinder our stay or our sleep. We would definitely stay again.

Really enjoyed the meal here in a comfortable and contemporary yet still period feeling venue. Cocktails were great but a slightly limited selection. The food had great portions and was perfect in every way and the waiter was friendly and offered great menu advice.

I had a wonderful experience at Boyd's Grill & Wine Bar. The waiter was so attentive even though the restaurant was short staffed on the night I dined there. Service was fast despite that! Food was tasty. Decor and ambiance were noteworthy.

Lovely place to go for a meal and a drink. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is great too. The staff is very helpful and the place is never very full so it's great if you don't know where to go but want a good meal. They have a great wine selection too. I see a lot of people having dinner here before going to see a show. Highly recommended

Attendance from waiters was very good. We had dinner here on a Thursday evening. It was very quiet. Food was ok for it being a hotel restaurant.

Wonderful staff, just disappointing portions. I ordered cottage pie and it looked like a starter in a small serving bowl. I thought it was embarrassing.

My SO and I chose this place to stay during our 5-day short trip to London, and we were incredibly satisfied. First of all, the location of the hotel is fantastic. Trafalgar Square is just below, Leicester Square above, and with theaters around, there's always something to do as soon as you step out. We didn't have any issues with the hotel during our stay. They offer a nice breakfast, and the room service and cleanliness are good. I recommend it.

Overall, this hotel is in a fabulous location, especially if you're in town to see shows on the West End, but we had a few issues with our stay. We arrived at the hotel at 8am, hoping for an early check in. They were not able to accommodate it (which is fine, it wasn't an expectation), and the front desk staff was able to store our bags for us while we went out. We were told our room would be ready at 3pm. When we returned at 6pm, we were told that they weren't sure if our room was ready yet. This was especially frustrating since they were well aware we were already in town and had been told it'd be ready 3 hours earlier. They had no real explanation as to why it might not be ready, but said they'd send a staff member up to check. This took much longer than it should have, and we were in a rush to get our bags and get into our room to change before an evening West End show. When we finally got to our room, the top comforter was noticeably stained. The next morning, while in the bathroom, the inside door knob completely fell off in my hands. Luckily I hadn't shut the door all the way, or I could have wound up trapped inside. To the hotel's credit, they did repair it while we were out that day. I will say that the beds were at least comfortable and the room was clean, aside from the stained top sheet/comforter (see picture).

I recently stayed at the Thistle London Trafalgar Square and had a fantastic experience. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from Trafalgar Square and all the other major sights. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, especially the reception manager, Prince, who went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable stay. My room was clean and spacious, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was very comfortable, and I loved the view of the city from my window. The hotel's amenities were also excellent. I especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which had a wide variety of delicious options. The bar was also a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Overall, I highly recommend the Thistle London Trafalgar Square to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in London. The staff, the location, and the amenities were all top-notch. I would definitely stay there again!

Great value for money. Room isn't modern but it was clean and comfortable for three of us. Service was impeccable and efficient and the location is great for tube stations. Would recommend 👍🏻

The location is very good, close to the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square. Service was good, and breakfast was decent. We stayed two nights at the end of February. We were given a room that looked like a room for people with disabilities. While the room was big and clean with a comfortable bed, the bathroom was disappointing. I forgot to snap a photo, but a photo was shared by another recent reviewer, who had a similar experience. The bathroom has only one small basin without any pedestal or table top. The shower temperature was difficult to control because the hot water and water volume are integrated in one lever.

Today, our family rendezvoused at Sherlock Holmes, and what an unforgettable experience it was! Nestled in a bustling area, this establishment boasts a vibrant ambiance, with a bar and seating on the first floor and additional dining space on the second. Everywhere you look, the place is adorned with captivating pictures and stylish furniture, creating an atmosphere that's both cozy and chic. Our server truly went above and beyond, delivering impeccable service that complemented our delightful meal perfectly. From start to finish, every dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving us all thoroughly satisfied. One of the highlights of our visit was the thoughtful gesture of receiving a cool mug packed in a box to take back home. It's rare to encounter such genuine hospitality, and this unexpected gift left a lasting impression on us. As Americans visiting from the USA, discovering Sherlock Holmes was a treat, and we couldn't recommend it more highly. Whether you're seeking a casual drink with friends or a memorable dining experience, this place has it all. Do yourself a favor and seek out this gem—you won't be disappointed!

Been here several times and it's always a pleasure. Had a great evening again, with the best vegan mushroom chili, Fish and Chips, cake and a tasty ginger beer! Thanks to the wonderful and friendly owner Nat and her sister Jo, making guests feel so welcome and always take some time for a nice chat, though they have much to do, as the Pub is quite full. See you again soon:-)

Sherlock Holmes pub is a definite must see while in London, especially if you’re a fan of this fictional character. The pub is themed in the Victorian era and has an atmosphere and feel that throws you back in time. The pub is downstairs and the restaurant is upstairs. As you ascend the stairs be sure to look to your right at the recreated room of Sherlock Holmes’ famous Baker Street flat. It contains memorabilia from the show and is nice to look at. If you plan to have dinner here, I highly recommend making a reservation. Unfortunately it was crowded during our visit and we were unable to get a table. However, we thoroughly enjoyed having drinks downstairs with friends. The pub is located between the Embankment and Charing Cross tube stations which is also near many London attractions including Trafalgar Square. A definite must see!

The food is awesome! I love the streak pie and slow cooked pork. Great selections of ciders and ales. The sticky dates pudding is so good, satisfied my sweet tooth 😊

It is the only pub divided into two parts on either side of the street. And I think that's what makes this place such a cool atmosphere. A very nice and quiet traditional London pub with good food and a selection of beer.
Barbara Steltmann - 3 months ago

For the location and considering what else is around, this place is a nice spot for a break. A cozy place with quick service and affordable prices. The triple cooked fries were perfect, but the cold scotch egg was a bit over and not too fresh. Still, it's a great spot for a beer and snacks.

This has a very relaxing feel, it's the only pub divided into two halves either side of the street. Nipped in for a sit down and a drink in 'The Snug'

Old and nice pub, actually a hidden spot, and it's nice for a break in the city or chat with friends.

The pub came up on a review search. Well worth a visit. Cracking location and spread over two locations makes it a tad quirky. Staff were super friendly.

Fabulous pub with a marvellous range of well kept cask beer. Had the Marble Stout myself. Busy every time I've been in here regardless of the time of day. A central London institution. No children allowed. Additional seating upstairs if it is rammed downstairs.

Great little pub. Traditional feel, small and compact yet can fit plenty people inside. Definitely a pub directed for those attending the theatre but that didn't stop me. Fantastic beer and cider selection from various breweries. Fast friendly service. Great character and charm about the place.

went to have a festive meal, it was quite empty at 1pm, the service from the waitress was very good. the starter was OK, bread was nice, main was very good and the dessert was nice, the coffee was good as well.

Our meal here was absolutely stunning and the service was phenomenal. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and did not leave disappointed! We tried the house cured salmon, the ricotta and pine nut ravioli, the pork tenderloin, and the veal, as well as some wine. Everything was exceptional, from the sourdough that came out with an artichoke cream and decadent salted butter, all the way through the mains and the dessert selections offered. There was a small hiccup with the side not arriving with our mains (which wasn’t an issue to begin with.) and our server removed the charge without even being asked. I would return here in a heartbeat and wish to thank all of the staff for making our first meal in London and our wedding anniversary special, and certainly a meal to remember!

Went to Northall resturant for a business dinner. Great fine dinning resturant with prices to match, but definetly worth it! For starters we had bread with butter and I had Hand Cut Lake District Beef Tartare - without a doubt one of the best tartares I had in while. Thus was followed by the Grilled Iberico Pork Loin, cooked medium and moist with mash potatos. For dessert an amazing merengue and stramberry dessert. Wines were also great, in par with the quality of the resturant. For business or special events this is the resturant to go.

Great atmosphere. The staff are very polite and diligent. They had a good kids menu too for children under 12 years old. We went for my wife’s birthday and they brought out a nice surprise dessert which was very sweet of them. The bar was also very trendy and had a good selection of cocktails and mocktails. Would definitely go there again and try more dishes. Set menu was decently priced too which I had, while my wife selected from the a la carte menu.

Serving modern European, with bar. Great location, atmosphere, and very professional and friendly services. Selective and seasonal menus. Very high food quality, desserts look great but taste is a little pale in comparison, still great though.

Pizza Express mains are always great, no complaint. The service here needs some improvement; staff don't want to help, don't want to make eye contact, and they seem only concerned with strictly their own tables and, I guess, some kind of commissions system. The wrong order was brought out too, and we had to pay extra due to the waiting staff not understanding our order. Nevertheless, it's Pizza Express, so it's still great.

You always know what you're going to get with pizza express. The pizzas were tasty and the dough balls were delicious. Great location and nice big, spaced out restaurant. I've taken a star off because the service was very slow, even though there weren't that busy. Our dough balls were also Luke warm by the time they arrived.

Nice pizza (I had the garlic prawn romana) and very glad to know that they do gluten free food (one of our group had dietary requirement) very well. Decent price with app offer. Our waiter Kris was very friendly and helpful. A good meal all in all.

Always love going to Chandos and any Samuel Smith Pub for that matter. Delicious salad (Burrata with Tomato salad) with vegan option, beer is amazing as always and the service friendly and fast! 4 instead of 5 stars as there should be 2 people serving at the bar and the menues are in desperate need of a wet wipe 🥴
