The Albert is a well-known pub in central London. It’s a great spot to watch a match with big TVs. Good selection of beers and a few ciders. I ordered the Steak and Ale pie with cabbage and mash and gravy which was great and quite British. When in London…The fish and chips also looked good. There are plenty of tables both up and downstairs.

This is my first and only Fish and Chips experience in London. I really liked it. The bar is packed when I got in, so had to maneuver and wait for a bit for a table. But the drinks and the fish and chips are great! I loved how crispy my fish is, and the chips are very tasty as well. Lots of people here seem just to hangout after work, so very nice. Overall highly recommend this place.

Can't really judge the food as only had a snack. But the pub and atmosphere lovely. Beautiful old pub, so well decorated keeping the character of the old style and not ruining it's style. Nice and clean. I loved this pub would definitely go again. Good selection of drinks, too.

We visited The Albert for lunch. Nice selection of beer on tap. They offer the usual London pub menu. I tried the fish cakes. It was OK. Friendly service. Remember to order at the bar.

I can't really comment on the food as we only stopped in for a pint as we strolled around London on holiday. The bar staff were quite friendly and the atmosphere was top notch for this immaculately decorated Victorian era pub. The contrast of the exterior in the otherwise thoroughly modern section of town is what initially attracted us, and I'm glad I stopped in to enjoy a cask ale - highly recommend the house 'Albert' ale.

Had a lovely dinner here today. The lady (Shakira I think it was) who served us and took our order was extraordinarily helpful. Very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend.

A quaint pub in a very pretty part of London. The Two Chairmen at the end of Queen Anne's Gate is a lovely pub in the heart of Westminster. A small pub from the Greene King stable, it offers all the expected treats, both solid and liquid. A calm and at the moment Christmassy feel to the place. Lovely people, both sides of the bar, great pub.

We had the best meal in London in our trip. The food was very very tasty, not a culinary masterpiece but because it’s Britain we’re talking about. Big portions in our opinion. The atmosphere was lovely! Make a booking tho, there won’t be any space otherwise :)))

Set a new standard for me for Sunday roast - so delicious! Excellent and friendly service as well. Will come back anytime and highly recommend.

When we arrived we just wanted a quick snack but apparently our first 3 orders were sold out. Our server was friendly and attentive but beyond that this pub needs updating. The decor is old with cardboard prints hanging out in corners, the bar is too big for a pub this size (considering the food is cooked on a different level) and it needs a fresh impetus to bring in new blood/ideas considering the prime location of this place

Our waiter was attentive and friendly, I cannot fault the service. The restaurant was busy but quiet which made the perfect setting for an evening meal. My only complaint was that the chicken tenders (starter) had too much batter on them and were slightly undercooked however, the mains were amazing, fresh and came out in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend the vanilla cheesecake if you have a sweet tooth!

This cozy spot offers a perfect ambiance for a relaxed evening. The pizzas are delicious, and the salads are fresh, creating a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a laid-back atmosphere and tasty food.

I took my 5yr old son here for a well deserved rest from sightseeing- there’s not much around this area to suit kids so we dived in here. I wanted to sit outside but was advised by the waiter/server they were short staffed with just the two of them so inside only. To be honest I’ve only ever been to a Pizza Express once before around 2 years ago (& no, it wasn’t at Woking with Prince Andrew either 😜) and I wasn’t impressed so always avoided a re-visit…. However, whilst we only shared a pizza 🍕 I was very pleasantly surprised- even my son commented on how tasty the food was! Very dark in the restaurant which I don’t mind as it sets an ambiance.

"The staff were so friendly" seems like a cliché but these guys genuinely made our son's night with their wit and banter. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and they carefully catered for our coeliac dietary requirements. We cannot recommend this place enough! Please go here if you get there chance!

Booked for today (Saturday) and we were given a table out of the way. We had to wait a while to order drinks and then food but it was all delicious when it arrived. We joined the app and managed to get 50% off pizzas for 4 of us which was quite a saving.

The place is stunning. Staff is very nice. We went there for a birthday celebration and really enjoyed the meals. Some vegetarian dishes can look a bit the same, but overall, they are very tasty, very well seasoned, and beautifully presented.

A South India themed restaurant. We visited for lunch which had set menu. We went for vegetarian menu and were not disappointed. Great preparation and taste. Staff is friendly and restaurant has warm and inviting atmosphere. Although, the price is at higher end but definitely justified by tasty food.

I’ve dined at over 20 Michelin starred restaurants and this one is the worst of them. Food was served while I was away to the washroom. The only drinks We ordered was one sparkling water and one distilled and they could still the mistake by giving us only distilled water. The presentation of dishes was dull and the taste was lack of excitement. However, £50-60 for lunch is rather cheap for the whole package.

We booked Quilon for our son's birthday lunch. We were told that the menu would be a set menu but we were not disappointed. The service was top class and the food spread was quite good. The affair was mostly South Indian and tasted authentic. Giving 4 stars for the atmosphere as I expected a bit more from a Michelin Star restaurant, but the food and service were top notch and hence 5 stars for them.

My husband and I had mixed feelings about our visit to Quilon. We tried the Non-vegetarian tasting menu. On one had we loved the duck roast, the lamb curry and artichokes! Also thank you for the anniversary cake at the end. It was a sweet gesture which we really appreciated. On the other hand, I was not impressed with the service and overall experience due to following three points: 1) My duck roast had two mustard dips while my husband’s duck roast came with one mustard and other green chutney dip. 2) the glasses in which we were served rasam were not clean. We had to wipe the glass base in order to be able to hold the drink without getting our hands dirty. The server also didn’t explain us what she brought. After looking at our confused faces she just asked “it’s Rasam , you know what it is right?” 3) I had a hair on the bottom of my red velvet cake! See attached photos. The manager was very kind. He apologized and waived off 20 pounds from the total bill to compensate. We had come to Quilon expecting much better quality. Due to this experience, we’ve been offered a 25% discount voucher for next dining experience but I’m not sure if I wanna go back! Will definitely edit my review in case we go back.

We stopped there for a drink and some food snack. The ground floor was busy and we went downstairs to the basement and found a nice room like a little cave where we sat there on our own (my friend and I). It is a cozy place and we had a great time. I ordered some shared platter and a video and the bar staff was friendly and smiley. The food did not take long and the staff who brought our food was a lovely lady with great simpathy and big smile. Very friendly all the staff we had. The food was really good and very tasty. We had a great experience and we would definitely recommend this Pub. It is just opposite St James Station. Leave your car home,take the tube and enjoy your drinks there.

Had lunch here with my girlfriend on our way to Westminster Abbey. Really enjoyed it. Relaxing atmosphere and nice staff. Felt really welcoming 👍 the food was also good, so we finished our plates. Not too expensive. Value for the money.

Came in one afternoon with my girlfriend last Saturday after visiting Buckingham Palace. As Americans we ordered the Fish and Chips and the traditional English Steak Pie ,both were amazing ! Staff were welcoming and the pub had a great atmosphere. One of the best modern pubs I’ve visited so far in London.

Cool spot! Be sure to check out the downstairs! Super cool. Bartender was standoffish but the guy (maybe the owner) out in the restaurant was super nice and kind and happy to help. Had the pork buns. Quite tasty. I’d come back.

As a regular visitor with my therapy dog, I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding treatment we receive from the dedicated staff. Each day, we are greeted with warmth and respect, making our visits truly enjoyable. Recently, we encountered an unfortunate situation where a disruptive man insisted my 'animal' be removed. The staff handled the situation with grace and professionalism, calmly explaining Starbucks' dog-friendly policy. Despite facing unwarranted abuse and this man taking pictures of them and me they remained composed and focused on providing exceptional service. It's evident that the team here goes above and beyond to create a welcoming environment for all customers, including those with four-legged friends. Their commitment to exemplary customer care shines through, making each visit the highlight of my day.

Coffee and food food was amazing. A lady helped me walk because my leg hurt all of a sudden, I gave her a big £50 tip because of that. Also the place was extremely clean

Friendly staff, not enough place to charge your phone, can become crowded due to the small/tiny space. I tried the new Chocolatey Waffle Cone Coffee Frappuccino, and it tasted a little bit bitter but nice though.

Really pleasant experience. Artur was easygoing and hilarious, gave us samples and helped us pick coffee as we are clueless. Would highly highly recommend this store, he made our day. Thanks :)

Was okey, but there is no toilet so you should not expect setting with comfort here like any other cafe , staff are good and efficient, I think a bit pricy but this is London

Today, I embarked on a culinary adventure with my son and daughter at the esteemed Caxton Grill, nestled within the delightful St Ermin's hotel. The ambience exuded a tranquil and inviting aura, perfectly complemented by the attentive staff, especially the remarkable Mr. Nahid, the manager. His charm, amiability, and vast knowledge shone through as he gracefully guided us through the menu, ensuring that even our gluten-free options were expertly chosen. Not only did he provide recommendations, but he also regaled us with a brief introduction to the hotel and restaurant. Given the time constraints, we unanimously decided to indulge in the main course only, as my son had to swiftly return to his office after his lunch break. Surprisingly, we all independently gravitated towards the tantalizing Freedown Hill olive-fed Wagyu steak burger, adorned with a delightful tomato relish, crisp gem lettuce, and accompanied by the heavenly aroma of smoked Applewood Cheddar ,steak chips. To add a touch of variety, we also savored some delectable roasted root vegetables. As my daughter ordered a cocktail to delight her senses, I opted for a glass of Malbec Mendoza from the renowned vineyards of Argentina, which perfectly complemented the flavors of our meals. Despite the slight variation in ingredients due to our gluten-free requirements, the harmony of flavors surpassed our expectations, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. I cannot emphasize enough the exceptional role played by Nahid, whose remarkable service and leadership left an indelible impression on us, both as honored guests and as members of the staff. Our gratitude knows no bounds for the unforgettable experience and delectable cuisine we savored at Caxton Grill. Rest assured, we shall return to relish more of your culinary delights and even explore the tempting offerings of your afternoon tea. To all those seeking an extraordinary dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Caxton Grill. #doctorfoodielondon

We had a lovely time at Caxton grill!! We sat at the bar, ordered a martini and another cocktail that was so good. I highly recommend you get the sticky toffee pudding it was delicious!!!😍 The bartenders were also so so nice!

Recently visited for a business dinner and my meal started well with a lovely beef carpaccio. For main I opted for the 400g sirloin from the “specials” detailed to us by our waiter, sadly it was extremely fatty and had a fairly large section of gristle through the middle as well as being a tad overdone (requested medium rare and it was much more medium than rare). At £48 (without any sides) I personally expected a better quality piece of meat. Overall a reasonable meal due to the great starter, friendly waiter and lovely Irish coffee to finish. Would I return, potentially but I’d be avoiding the steak options

As I ventured into Caxton Grill, discreetly nestled inside St. Ermin's Hotel, I couldn't help but marvel at the ample space that it offered. The layout, featuring intimate corners, high tables, and of course, the inviting bar, provided the perfect cover for covert meetings. The intimate areas, well, they held secrets just as well as they held conversations. The high tables, where one could exchange documents without drawing suspicion, were strategically placed. As for the bar, let's just say that its counterintelligence was as impeccable as its cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, the selection was somewhat limited, but the mixologists had an uncanny ability to concoct anything one desired. A trait that any spy would appreciate; they never blinked an eye, even when my requests grew more complex. The food, considering the context of a hotel bar, exceeded expectations. It was satisfying, providing the sustenance needed to keep my espionage endeavors on track. Now, the service – it was truly amazing. The staff operated with such precision and discretion that I couldn't help but wonder if they had been trained in the art of espionage themselves. And here's the twist – the bar was so good that I couldn't help but think about changing sides, much like the ebb and flow of wartime allegiances. The atmosphere was so inviting that even a seasoned spy could find themselves contemplating a different path. As I savored my drink, I couldn't help but notice the number of Americans patronizing the establishment. It felt as though there were more of them than secret agents in wartime Berlin. I suppose you could say it was a "friendly invasion," much like our American allies during World War II. In conclusion, Caxton Grill at St. Ermin's Hotel is a place that could make even a spy consider a change of allegiance, all while enjoying excellent service, intriguing spaces, and, of course, cleverly crafted cocktails.

Best bruschetta I’ve had in London, hands down! Quality of food is fantastic, and it is so lovely that they have specials. We also ordered the vongole, which was fantastic. Would happily return, thank you!

Fantastic Italian food! We had the ravioli fantasia and seafood risotto with sides of broccoli and spinach. We didn't have reservations and they still kindly found us a table on Saturday night! The service was amazing and the food was outstanding! Definitely recommend this place!!!

Delicious mains - all the table was very pleased! Draft beer / other drinks also good. The staff’s hospitality 10/10 Price-wise it’s on point. Good atmosphere! Only cons: it might take a bit for the food to come

Bon Gusto delivers an Italian dining experience that's nothing short of fantastic. The food is exquisite, leaving taste buds in awe. With quick service, you won't be waiting long to indulge. And the desserts? They're the perfect finale, leaving nothing to be desired. This spot is a culinary gem worth savoring. It's advisable to make reservations, as this place can get busy, and they may have to turn people away. Don't miss the chance to savor this culinary gem!

We had a very nice Valentine's Day evening, here. They also gave roses to our girlfriends. Especially the waitress of Brazilian origin(forgot the name) was very friendly and polite. :)

This branch is relatively small although it has seating areas, up and downstairs. It was fairly busy with mainly with tourists on my visit. The service here was slow with only three staff members on service at the time. The refreshments, wrap, baguette, rolls and the fillings was good quality, freshly made and flavoursome. Disappointingly the restroom was not to the standard of cleanliness that is required.

I popped into this Pret as I like them it’s familiar territory for me, and I had an appointment nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food tasted good albeit the bread was a bit more chewy than I expected. The store was quite busy lots of takeaway customers. Some people seated on Ground level, I decided to eat downstairs. I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent amount of sockets down there as my phone was nearly dead! However luckily I decided not to go to the toilet until when I finished eating! I was so shocked as it was not even 11am and they smelled bad and were trashed. These toilets were unisex toilets there were two of them and both of them were bad. I didn’t bring my phone to the toilet with me so no pictures…no way was I going to risk going back in. Due to this, unfortunately I’ve had to rate this low which I hate to do! I hope to revisit in the summer to see if things have improved by then. All places that serve food need to have regular toilet checks to ensure this does not happen. If I had gone toilet before eating I would have headed upstairs for a refund as it was stomach churning. I eat Pret in various locations and have never seen anything like this!

My favorite coffee shop. I love the sandwiches and the variety. My absolute favorite is the vegan mozarella croissant. The coconut latte is delicious and the coffee is strong. Service can be fast depending on time of day you may queue or not. It has a corner for fruits which is super handy.

Great location and ample space inside. We are visiting it on regular basis. The staff and service is constantly on a good level. They are open on Sunday which is quite unusual for Pret’s, and which is quite handy for us. Great food and quality. Definitely give it a go!
