Great service! The staff was super nice and professional. Spacious, clean and quite rooms. They even sent a cake and balloons to the room for our daughter birthday. Our AC was not working properly the first day but they responded very well. The location is so good that we barely had to deal with taxis. Excellent for the price.
Thank you

Dinner at the hotel was a true highlight of my stay. The menu offered a great selection of well-prepared dishes, beautifully presented and full of flavor. From starters to dessert, everything was delicious and thoughtfully crafted.
What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service from the waiters. They were not only professional and efficient, but also genuinely warm and attentive. They anticipated needs without being intrusive and made sure every detail was just right. Their friendliness and care created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable.
It’s rare to find such consistently high service across an entire team – they really made the evening feel special. A big thank-you to the staff for making every dinner a memorable experience!

Following a memorable stay last winter at The Clermont Victoria, I recently had the pleasure of returning to London and chose to stay at The Clermont Charing Cross. The experience was nothing short of exceptional.
From the moment of my arrival, travel-weary and in need of a seamless transition, I was warmly welcomed by James, whose professionalism and attentiveness immediately set the tone for a wonderful stay. Andrea provided outstanding assistance in coordinating our airport transportation—no small task given the volume of luggage from my son’s university move-out.
The entire stay was marked by excellence. The property itself is impeccably maintained, with an elegant yet inviting atmosphere. The interiors are exquisitely appointed, striking a perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. The on-site restaurant offered both a delicious menu and stunning views, making each meal an experience in itself.
The location of The Clermont Charing Cross is unparalleled—ideally situated within walking distance of many of London’s iconic landmarks, with superb access to public transport. While I thoroughly enjoyed my previous stay at The Clermont Victoria, the Charing Cross location proved to be particularly convenient for my needs on this visit.
A special commendation is due for the exceptional cleanliness and overall ambiance of the hotel. I look forward to returning to The Clermont Charing Cross on future visits to London.

Had very good pre-theatre menu here last night. Very reasonable and although limited choice of starter, main and dessert they were all excellent - salmon starter, minute steak and cheesecake. It is and impressive high ceiling.dining room inside an hotel. Our waiter was great as well.

We loved it at Boyd’s!! Had a pre-theatre dinner and bottle of wine. It’s so nice and quiet / spacious in the restaurant, the server was really attentive and friendly, the food was amazing!! (Had a salmon trio, sausage and mash and the cheesecake). All so delicious and homey/very filling. Would highly recommend!

This place is spectacular. The room is elegant, the staff delightful and the menu is superb. I would have expected £100 main dishes in a place like this but the £15-40 prices were a wonderful surprise.

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.

We visited here after the theatre. Food was nice nit many people in when we were there so not much of an atmosphere. Staff were very courteous. To go to loo we had to get someone to sort the lift as hotel so not anybody could go up we had to have assistance. Overall experience was OK.

An unforgettable experience! Dining on this boat restaurant along the Thames was magical — with stunning views of Tower Bridge and the London Eye right from our table. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was warm and professional. Watching the city lights reflect on the water as we ate made it truly special. A perfect London evening — highly recommended!

Had a lovely lunch at Tattershall Castle. The weather was perfect and dining on the Thames was a great experience. Service was stellar. I had the fish and chips, my husband got the crispy chicken burger—both were tasty and well-cooked. The added cold, crisp beers made it even better.
Kelsey Andrews - 2 months ago
Lovely boat on the Thames that has been made into a pub. The view from the top deck is stunning, with a direct view of the London eye. There are 2 bars at the top with lots of seating, as well as an indoor seating area downstairs. They also have a fish and chip bar on the top deck as well as serving food from the kitchen menu. I've been here a few times now but not yet tried the food but it looks really lovely!

I've overlooked this so many times and came here twice recently with a friend. Great atmosphere and beautiful views. Perfect for a few relaxing drinks. I didn't try the food but I saw what other people were having and it looked nice.
The location is amazing, right near big Ben and the London eye - I would love to visit on an evening when everything is illuminated. The staff are friendly and the prices are what you would expect in London but for the experience of being on a boat it is well worth it! Highly recommended.

We stopped here because of the name and are glad we did. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We both had the fish and chips and thoroughly enjoyed them. The pub can be a bit noisy but that adds to the charm.

Want to feel like youre really in a pub? Want to really enjoy the atmosphere youre eating in? Look no further than this super adorable Sherlock Holmes themed pub. You enter straight into the bar but the steps to dining and in the right corner. As you make your way upstairs, the walls are adorned with Sherlock themed photos. The dining area provides a fairly spacious experience with amazing food. We had the beef rillett as a starter that was delicious. For entrees we ordered the fish and chips, the bacon burger, and the panko chicken each one was unique and delicious. We followed that with the sticky toffee pudding and oh my goodness it was amazing. We had a variety of drinks and all were equally delicious. This pub is kid friendly until 9pm so if you plan on bringing littles under 16, keep that in mind. We truly had an amazing experience and hope that if you give it a go - you will too!

This establishment offers a pleasant atmosphere, but Saturdays can be quite crowded. The bustling energy adds to the lively ambiance. Seating can be limited during peak times. Many visitors to the area frequent this spot. It's advisable to arrive early for a more relaxed experience.

An interestingly located place. The food was fairly good. You order at the bar or through an app.
A big plus for the free tap water.
The staff mainly just bring out the food – more of a delivery role than full service – so it's actually a relief that there's no added service charge.

We went there last Thursday with 50 students and ate a pizza. The room downstairs is big enough to welcome large groups of pupils. I forgot to take a picture of the chocolate cake but is was amazing! Moist and delicious!
The waitresses were very nice and helpful!
Thanks a lot for everything and the take away for the coach driver!

We experienced a rude welcome. The waitress exudes negative energy. She is unfriendly and not cheerful. The menu looks appealing, but the pizzas are not good. I’m attaching a photo. The glasses are dirty. I wouldn’t come again and wouldn’t recommend it.

I have been looking forward to dining at PizzaExpress again for a long time. I was especially excited to enjoy their gluten-free Dough Balls once more. The food was absolutely fantastic, service was amazing and the restaurant provided a nice, peaceful atmosphere to relax and enjoy the meal. It can get a bit crowded at times, but it’s not a major issue. Thank you for another pleasant experience and delicious food:-)

I wanted to try Pizza Express as I hadn't been since I was a teen and kids ate free with a adult ordering a main. It was alright overall. We did book ahead so got sat really quickly on a busy night however because it was so busy, service was a bit slow. They were alright at catering for my childs dairy allergy. However, my pizza arrived with hardly any cheese. I was mocked for asking if my son could have pineapple on his pizza (far enough Italian restaurants don't do it but I didn't think Pizza Express counted as an Italian restaurant just thought it sold all sorts food). Also thought that it was silly that the kid's drinks weren't included in the kid's meal deal.

This was a pleasant experience, yet at times I felt like I was not important.
I came in as a solo diner and was given no menu. I had to walk to the host stand and grab one myself.
At time of payment, the waiter demanded that I gave them 5 stars on Google as they needed to “up their reviews.”
However, the food was delightful and came very quickly.

Great Pizza Hut. Clean and friendly staff. I’ve noticed all Pizza Hut restaurants now encourage you to pay via QR code, but you can also order at the counter if you want. It’s quite small inside though, however, I didn’t book and I came here off-peak.
I got the Weeknight Treat deal which is £16 for an individual 9” pizza (pan or original), with free salad and unlimited drink included. Dips are an additional 95p each. Definitely always recommend pan pizzas.
There are a lot of steps down to the bathrooms however, so keep in mind if you have any physical disabilities.

I recently visited Pizza Hut, and I must say it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The pizza was delicious, with a perfect balance of fresh toppings, flavorful sauce.
But what really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our order was taken correctly and delivered to our table with a smile. Their professionalism and positive attitude made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
A big thank you to the Arun and kirutika at Pizza Hut.

The service was great and our waitress made sure we scan my club card to get points. Food was nice and came out very quickly despite so packed in the restaurant . I love the open kitchen view. The only thing I didn’t like that all customers were crammed at the back and the front had empty tables. The place is maximised for seating and feels we all sit together with other customers like one big family 😆

The layout of the restaurant is nice with an open kitchen. The food was amazing between the starters and the main dishes we were so full as the plates sizes are very generous.
The waitress Marie was amazing! Very nice, funny and welcoming. We had a great time but unfortunately no room for desert🤗

Popped in for lunch, easy to find, the restaurant is located 1 level below street, and a rss is via stairs. We were greeted, seated and served by Rob, wonderful service, order was spot on even with changes, and food and service were 10/10, you could happily spend more and get lower quality food and service.
It was reasonably busy but still quiet, and a nice place to escape the madness of nearby Covent Garden and the Strand.
Comes highly recommended for location service and food. Thank you Rob.
