★★★★★ Perfect Stay – Exceeded Expectations! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff was warm and welcoming, the room was spotless and beautifully decorated, and the amenities were top-notch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved the little thoughtful touches throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. The location was perfect for exploring, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

We really loved this hotel. It is such a beautiful building , inside and out. It is centrally located to everything. Walking distance to train stations and to attractions. The only downside was that we wished we had a suite with a separate room, there was 3 of us staying. But other than that everything was great, the staff the cleanliness, etc.

First visit to London and would stay here again for a second visit. Tube station on site makes it easy to get around the city. Close to wonderful theatre, famous London sites and dining. Staff was wonderful and the room great. Extra bonus. Stocked refrigerator with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and snacks replenished daily at no charge.

Really impressed with this central London hotel. We walked in the door and our daughter was immediately given a teddy. Such a nice touch, not to mention the complimentary mini bar and snacks in our room. Service was excellent, the hotel is nice and clean. It’s in a good central location close to Leicester sq etc. would definitely stay here again. The only small criticism was that the room was a bit tired, the shower head for example had some lime scale, carpet was dirty and there was a little bit of a funny smell. But maybe because the smell outside the room was divine. We asked for some room spray and the hotel staff were very accommodating. We also got given a free drink at the bar. Overall, my partner and I were both very impressed. We stay in London fairly regularly and would come again.

A Delightful Afternoon Tea Experience! We had the most wonderful afternoon tea experience! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and seated in a beautifully elegant setting. The attention to detail in the table arrangement, fine china, and cozy ambiance made for a truly special afternoon. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and every request was met with a warm smile. It was clear that great care was taken to ensure every guest had a memorable experience. Overall, our afternoon tea was an absolute delight. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a moment of relaxation, this is a must-visit. This is our 2nd visit and will definitely be returning soon.

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!

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.

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.

Ate here on 11th Jan 24 evening, service was fine, not many diners for a Saturday so quite quiet, but meat was poor. We have a rib-eye steak and lamb chop, both were tough and the steak was very chewy. Not good sorry, and not good value for money.

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

I had a lunch date there. It’s a beautiful venue. On a sunny summer’s day, it’s the best place for a drink. We had lunch on the lower deck. It is at the water line and you can feel the movement of the boat. Had drinks and lunch. They have a well-stocked bar. I had scallops and they were small scallops. And they were delicious. Also had the beef short rib which fell off the bone which came with some greens and mashed potatoes. The beef ribs were tasty. The waiters were attentive.

Accidentally stumbled onto this place for a happy accident, amazing drinks, a better view, and genuinely some of the warmest welcoming service I've experienced, our server Lumi was both helpful and generous, the foundation for our pleasant experience. A gorgeous view across from the eye complemented with all the lights, perfect experience, would heartily recommend to anyone I cross😃

Went here two nights, first night just drinks on the upper deck, there was a D,J on, the atmosphere was electric, and great wine. Second night we decided to have evening dinner downstairs in the restaurant we both had the sunday roast i had the lamb and my partner had the beef, both delicious and reasonably priced , great service and again great atmosphere

We spent NYE in 2024 on the boat moored opposite the London eye. Our experience was fantastic. Paul and the team provided outstanding service and left us with memories to cherish. What a way to see in the New Year!

We went on 23 February as a group of 8 of our family for an anniversary celebration. We asked for a specific view from the ship's restaurant when we booked on line and this was given to us. Perfect for what we wanted. Service was great. Staff were polite, attentive and very accommodating as we had a toddler with us. Food was delivered hot and we were made to feel extremely welcome. Food choice was varied and as a Sunday, roasts were offered. The food we had was excellent and we chose a variety of different options from roast dinners, to steak, starters, sharers and children's food. Hot, tasty and good sized potion for everyone. Cannot fault the quality of the food or the prices considering the amazing views, location on the Thames and being in the heart of London. We have paid more in pubs outside of London. I cannot say how wonderful an experience it was and we will definitely be back. Thank.you all at the Tattershall for making our day so special.

We're on vacation and were drawn in by the name and loved the food. The fish and chips is fantastic and my wife loved her sirloin steak sandwich. The service is also fantastic. You might want to make reservations. We didn't know but we still got a table.

Great bar/pub and restaurant. The pub has a very good atmosphere, fortunately no screens so conversations can still be held. The staff is friendly and helpfull. They serve multiple sorts of delicious beers and other drinks of course. While we visited the pub on a friday late afternoon it was pretty crowded and people enjoyed their accompany. The restaurant above is completely decorated and equipped in the theme of Sherlock Holmes and provides a plethora of paraphernalia. It is a joy to spend some time in “investigating” all the objects exhibited. The rooms in the restaurant still have the original wooden wall panelling and wall paper. Very pretty! Also here the staff is friendly and helpfull. The dinner we got served was excellent and against a fair price. I highly recommend this venue in order to drink, eat and enjoy the good atmosphere from old times.

Nice and cozy pub in the heart of London. The service was very authentic and heartfelt and we loved our little breather in the rainy London in the midst of our visit. I ordered the beef tenderloin sandwich, my daughter ordered the chicken sandwich, my husband had the BLT, and then we had fries on the side. The food arrived promptly even though it was getting busier. We managed to get there right before the rush hour and were able to get a table without a reservation. But I do recommend reserving as it tends to get crowded.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! The service was excellent—attentive and friendly throughout. The decorations were truly stunning and created an incredible atmosphere; it felt like stepping into a movie scene. Every detail added to the charm, making the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

This is a busy pub close to Trafalgar Square. I was here at 4.30pm on a Tuesday and the atmosphere was good. I had a double Craggenmore at £9.40, taking advantage of the double up for £3 offer (a single is £6.40). This is a very popular pub with tourist giving it a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. During the day a large part of the pub is brightly lit due to the large windows on two sides. At night it has a more intimate feel. I was here on a cold day and the pub was quite chilly, due mainly to the fact that the main doors were open. Despite the cold there was a lot of people drinking outside. They do serve food and have a large upstairs dining room. There is also a small museum dedicated to Sherlock Holmes. The service was okay. In summary, an OK pub in a great location.

My boyfriend insisted on us seeing this pub and it definitely lived up to the hype. Really cool history throughout while maintaining a fun casual vibe. Although the outside looks busy it’s still very easy to get a drink.

The ship & Shovel is a must. Present on a Friday evening at 7:00pm. There is not a singular structure housing the pub. You shall see when you get here but both sides are a vibe, you just have to dive in and select your destination. The right or the left, are you feeling like the right piece of grilled cheese or the left piece? Divided down the middle by the bar buddies congregating in the Craven Passage, here you will find a delicious lager: the Ship & Shovel: hells lager. After drinking a Crisp, clean, light-bodied, hint of lemony lager you become immersed in the British pub culture surrounded by accents, beer and friendly banter. Highly recommend, cheers to your first pint!

Great little pub. Managed to get a seat and had a couple of drinks. The atmosphere was good and drinks resonably priced for London. Lots of choice and room to stand out the front
Beth Hill - 3 weeks ago

This is a small, quaint pub, it only has seating for around 24 people. It has a lot of wood panelling and a dark, tile red ceiling that gives it a cosy feel. The barman was excellent and I opted for a Badgers Fursty Ferret ale at £6.30. They had three cask beers and their selection of spirits was very limited, due to the small bar area. The toilets are in the basement and are accessed by a steep staircase (beware the low ceiling halfway down the stairs). This pub is rather unique, it certainly has to be one of the smallest in central London. For that reason alone it is worth a visit.

Situated in the luxurious Corinthia Hotel in Westminster, this place did not disappoint from the moment we walked in. The decor, lighting, table setting and general ambience especially after dark spells class. Service was fantastic and their seasonal menu was good too. If you are in the mood, head over to the bar next to the restaurant for great live band and cocktails to end the evening.

Exceptional food complimented with exceptional service. We dined on the first day of their new set menu for the festive period, which contained a great selection to choose from for each course. The atmosphere is not too bright and not too dark, it has a perfect warm ambience, a great setting for dinner. The staff were attentive and the food delivery timings were perfect.

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!

Seems like a legit place to hang out and relax with friends and have a few drinks. Playing good tunes. Unfortunately the burger was dead on arrival and overcooked even for hades himself. I didn’t think London liked hockey very much but they’re definitely serving hockey pucks.

Took my American brother here for his first ever full English breakfast, he has been RAVING about it ever since! Loved it so much! Lovely food and quick service, such a great example of a "British Pub" for a tourist 🫶🏻

Nice pub at a nice location. The food and the house beer need some improvement though. I ordered nachos but it wasn’t close to being a proper nachos plate. There was no guacamole, instead it was big chunks of avocado. Salsa tasted wrong. Cheese wasn’t enough. The spicy flavour was from chips itself not the pepper - there was no pepper. Smashed potatoes could be better with a different presentation. Fries were ok. BLT was ok, nothing special though. That applies to the house beer as well. The atmosphere is good. It makes you thirsty :) The staff is friendly but for some reason some seemed in between rush and panic. I have also seen an apparently senior server roasting another server quietly but in the middle of the tables. This was not nice. They show PL games and F1 races which is great. Thanks!

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:-)

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.
Burev Şenrak - 2 months ago

Great pizza and excellent service, though there was a bit of a wait. The only downside was a loud alarm ringing throughout the visit—not the restaurant’s fault, but it did affect the dining experience. Otherwise, a great spot overall.

Had a good time there today considering i went without a reservation on a Sunday at 7 pm. The host was lovely and our server was a polite blonde boy who I believe was named either San or Sam, he was great but clearly very stressed out and needed a break but he was busy with the other tables as the restaurant was full. The food didn't take long to come out, we got the margarita pizza, mac & cheese and crispy potatoes. The potatoes were cold but they replaced them for us as soon as we asked but everything else was great! The pizza and mac & cheese were hot and delicious and the potatoes came with a delightful marinara sauce. The atmosphere of the place was amazing and the staff were all helping each other out which was very nice. I just wished we went in on a less busy day because i know the service would've even better then, if you're in London i'd recommend a visit to it. As for the prices, i included a photo of the check.

Recently I enjoyed some delicious pizza and bruschetta, and I must say, both were outstanding! The pizza was perfectly baked, featuring a wonderfully crispy crust topped with fresh ingredients that burst with flavor in every bite. The presentation was stunning, with vibrant colors that made it almost too beautiful to eat! The bruschetta was equally impressive, with toasted bread generously topped with a savory mix of ripe tomatoes, aromatic basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It was a delightful appetizer that set the tone for a fantastic meal. Overall, both dishes were a feast for the senses, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a delicious dining experience!

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.

A little bit of delay waiting for a table and there is a philosophy of self service mixed with some staff serving you but very tasteful plates and nice atmosphere!

Delicious pizzas as always and service was good. There was 2 downsides to this place. 1 - it was card only (not a problem for me but would be an issue for others) and 2 - the toilets was underground so had walk down many steps (again not an issue for me but would be an issue for others as I didn't see a lift anywhere - maybe I missed it completely).
