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

My wife and I chose to stay at Rosewood London for a long weekend, and we had an amazing experience. The rooms and service are top notch, and the hotel is conveniently located right next to the Holborn Underground station, which connects to two lines that can get you to almost everything in the city (including Kings Cross and Heathrow). Another huge benefit is the hotel has a guest-only entrance to their on-site bar, Scarfes. It is one of the top bars in the world, and there is a queue for non-guests every night. We went twice and were given a table immediately without waiting - such a great amenity! We will absolutely choose Rosewood the next time we come to London, and I couldn’t recommend it more as it’s an amazing place to relax after a long day exploring the city.

Lovely afternoon tea at the Rosewood hotel. The staff is attentive and welcoming and the menu is well thought and accurately presented. We enjoyed the selection of savoury and sweet treats. A perfect way to spend a few hours in a relaxed ambiance. The hotel was nicely decorated for Christmas too!

I stayed at the Rosewood for six nights, at nearly £1,000 per night. The room itself was luxurious and very comfortable, the lobby was beautiful, and housekeeping was meticulous. However, my overall experience was mediocre for a five-star hotel, with nothing truly exceptional to mention. I did not receive a warm welcome from the staff at the entrance or at reception. There was no small talk, no sense of hospitality—overall, a very bland experience. I am from Qatar and wear a headscarf. On several occasions, staff members spoke directly to my husband without acknowledging me or even making eye contact. This felt strange and uncomfortable. I am unsure whether they assumed it was inappropriate to address me directly or assumed I could not speak English. Either way, it was disappointing. I travel frequently to Europe and the United States, and I have never experienced this kind of treatment before. Breakfast was also mediocre. The buffet was only available on weekends, while weekdays offered a set menu with very limited options. Overall, while the hotel is visually impressive and well maintained, the experience itself felt average and did not meet the expectations of a true five-star hotel.

My stay at Rosewood London was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff provided a warm welcome and outstanding service, reflecting the hotel’s world-class standards. The lobby is stunning — elegant, spacious, and filled with soft lighting that creates a sense of calm luxury. The room was beautifully designed, with a plush bed, elegant furnishings, and a marble bathroom stocked with high-end amenities. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged for maximum comfort. Despite being in the heart of London, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, perfect for rest after a busy day exploring the city. Breakfast at the Mirror Room was a highlight — fresh ingredients, a great selection of dishes, and attentive service in a refined setting. Overall, Rosewood London offers the perfect balance of British charm and modern sophistication. It’s ideal for those seeking luxury, comfort, and impeccable hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again. 🌹✨

I celebrated my 50th birthday here over the weekend. Stayed in family room with two kids. As always, it´s about the people. The kids were made comfortable and entertained, excellent advice from the concierge and a slight misunderstanding regarding payment for breakfast was solved without hesitation by the front desk. A true five star experience.

This is a small, intimate bowling alley with just six lanes, which gives it a cozy rather than grand feel. The layout is noticeably cramped, and at £18 per person for one game (roughly 30 minutes), expectations were understandably higher.That said, the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, staff keep things running smoothly, and it works well for a casual, low-key session with friends. Plenty of tables are available if you plan to eat, and the bar offers a decent selection of drinks. Good fun in a quirky, small-scale setting, but the price-to-space ratio feels steep. Worth it if you value the intimate vibe and don’t mind the squeeze; otherwise, manage expectations or look for larger venues nearby.

Pretty good bowling alley. Not the best beer selection in my opinion but enough for all tastes to be catered for. Just maybe not the brands you like. They do food as well, was not bad for that type of place. We had a great time so would recommend the place.

Went to All star Lanes Holborn with my colleagues and had a really good time. Though drinks were not up-to my liking but still a good place to spend time with friends and family

We had the best time. We went for the Lodge area, where there are only 2 lanes and is almost empty. We had also a private karaoke session and it was so much fun! I had never tried it before and I cant recommend enough!

Had a galentines here on the 13th and we all had the most amazing time! Bowling, food and drinks were great however the service we received stole the show, unfortunately I don’t remember her name but she was doing a mix of reception and being on the floor in the evening of the 13th of Feb, she was a delight as was everyone working that night.

Location is perfect and the staff service and hospitality was delightful. From the reception staff, the restaurant staff to the housekeeping (the two housekeeping ladies - Miyoka and her lovely aunt were so warm); everyone is helpful and friendly. Initially we were given a much smaller twin bed room but we informed how inconvenient that was given our luggage and how the room looked much smaller than the image of the one we'd booked, and it got resolved and we got a bigger one. Overall, the experience was amazing!

Was here for a week stay as I wanted a central location in London to see as much as I could in such little time. Great location to stay just outside of Soho and leads you right to Oxford St. Walking distance to many areas. Rooms were basic. Bed a little too firm for me. Water pressure in shower strong. Towel warmer rack in bathroom was amazing. Housekeeping daily however they missed a few things here and there, yet politely obliged when requested to finish service. Room service was fantastic. In fact all staff were extremely friendly and exciting to chat with at front desk, bar, and restaurant. Bar and restaurant was amazing. A complementary english breakfast was the best part. Small cocktail list at the bar. Grabbed a drink on occasion before we ventured over to the Soho bars. Overall nice place to stay would stay again due to the location and fair deal.

The hotel have a clean and welcoming entrence and a lobby bar and restaurant with lift to the rooms. I can really recommend this hotel just in the end of New Oxfordstreet. We stayed in a junior svit that was surprisingly big, and the room was really nice and clean as well as the bathroom. It was well organized with security safe, a bigger minibar fridge, the/water/coffe (Nespresso machine) and comfortable beds, pillows, quilta and beddings. The staff was super friendly and helpfull with anything we wanted. There’s noice from the road outside but it Will call down later at night and it dosn’t disturbe in the morning.

Location great - close to Oxford St, Tottenham Court rd station and walk from Leicester sq, covent garden and theatre land. Staff are great too - nice and friendly. Room was a bit tired and dated - old fashioned bathroom. Bed very comfortable but breakfast a bit limited. Three star facilities but four staff service overall…

We were here for afternoon tea and the staff were exceptional and very welcoming. Raj, our host, was particulary attentive to our requests and promptly assisted us. The food was delicious, teas brewed to perfection and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating a birthday. Thank you to all the staff on Sat 7 Feb! Highly recommend this place.

One of my favourite pubs. It just has this really special old world pub vibe. All the woodwork, tiling, the little glass partitions and the tiny cosy nooks make it feel like you are stepping back in time. It is a bit of a maze in the best way. The atmosphere is always spot on and the beer is reliably good as you would expect from a Sam Smith pub (I always go for the organic lager). Just a brilliant place.

N E W F A V O R I T E P U B What an absolute gem! The Princess Louise in London is hands-down one of the most stunning pubs I've ever stepped into. The interior is superbly decorated—think ornate Victorian tiling, intricate woodwork, and those gorgeous snugs that make you feel like you've time-traveled to the 1890s. It's not just a pub... it's a work of art!

Cosiest pub in London! The atmosphere inside was incredible and the design!! It was not crowded, so you can normally sit and talk, which we loved a lot.

One of the finest pubs I visited while I was in London. An old pub, not many tourists, it has a cozy room upstairs where you can eat, away from the noise. Not too many draught beers, but what they have is excellent. It has a good choice of premium pub food.

Lovely old fashioned pub from Samuel Smiths. Lady that served us was very warm and friendly. One star off for the Gents loos... horrible. Seems to be a trend with Samuel Smith pubs. Its nice that the pub is Victorian in style, but the sanitation doesn't need to be!

Great place to eat. They are famous for the beef burgers which are huge. Its a modern place with the restaurant down stairs. We ate early a table of 8 and the food came quickly. After having the prawn starter followed by the beef burger there was no room for desert. We place was clean and well kept and our server was amazing. I would recommend.

Good pub vibes, they have downstairs for food that are quite popular too. Nice interior design and friendly staff, but steak was very average (good portion though).

I went on Saturday for dinner and it wasn't too busy. They have two floors and one bar. The service was attentive and fast. I ordered a bottle of pinot noir for £45 and the steak platter to share: fillet, steak, both cooked medium-rare, prawns and onion rings for £69, with the additional chimichuri sauce. For dessert, sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. The food arrived fairly quickly and it was cooked perfectly and soo tasty. I must return to try the rest! I recommend it!
