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

What a nice surprise to walk into this very classy lobby, welcomed by a very friendly bellman. The location really couldn't be better. It's steps away from Victoria station. In fact, thought it was closed while we were there, but they actually have an elevator the drops you right into the station. The front desk was willing to help whenever we asked and the room was what we expected. We didn't try the breakfast, as it was a full buffet and priced as such - we simply don't want that much food to justify the cost. We did try the lounge one night. Servers were very friendly, but not exceedingly knowledgeable. We got the impression that some of the workers were new to the area, having recently relocation from India. Still they were nice and engaged the help of others as needed. One of the bartenders was VERY kind and accommodating, coming to our table to help clarify questions and even to offer very helpful and friendly advice to us as travelers. We were a little disappointed that the lounge manager came to hurry him away. Overall, we were pleased with our choice, and would certainly consider staying here again.

Not worth the money. Room was clean & spacious, but bathroom tiny. No dressing table in the room, no where to do hair and make up near a plug socket with decent lighting. Room very cold until heating sorted. No where to hang coats. Tv only had terrestrial channels and guide not accessible. Only 4 coffee pods and four very small milk containers. How much do they cost? Service in The Soak was very slow and poor. Fire alarm went off at 1.30 in the morning, staff not helpful or clear in directing residents to exit the hotel. Wrote to the manager and the nature of the response explains exactly why the above are an issue, the customer is way below costs. We stayed here because we thought we would get a better service and facilities than cheaper hotels but alas no - will save my money next time and get better facilities and service

Only visited the bar. Reminiscent of a nightclub. Spacious but echoey music, with a fairly monotone palette. Not that busy when we visited. Service was quite slow, however, considering the numbers of staff that appeared to be otherwise unoccupied. I don't think I would go back again. It is adjacent to / part of the structure of the front of Victoria Station, so convenient for travel / theatre

Hotel is really nice and is in a fabulous location close to Buckingham Palace. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The only downside was my room wasn’t serviced the second day for whatever reason. I left my room at 08:00 and returned at 15:30 to find my room had still not been serviced. Having traveled from overseas I decided to have a sleep. Unfortunately, even with the “Do not disturb” sign on someone came into my room and woke me up. Housekeeping came around at 17:05 looking to service the room which isn’t good enough as I’ve stayed in enough hotels in my lifetime that this should be all completed at the latest lunchtime.

This is a beautiful, well-maintained historic hotel. It’s perfectly updated while keeping the original charm and ambiance of the historic building. I love the lobby, with the grand staircase and chandelier. It’s conveniently attached to Victoria station which is great when traveling to different locations and also offers a variety of restaurants and shops right outside the door. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend. Great location, lovely stay.

An incredible stay for the beginning of our vacation. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is so beautiful!! The lobby, the bar, the breakfast area. We did a Royal High Tea, had dinner at The English Grill and breakfast almost every morning. The hotel is right next to Buckingham Palace and Victoria tube station so getting anywhere is so easy. Cannot wait to stay here again.

Although the rooms are small due to their age, they are well designed and very comfortable. The hotel was exceptionally clean and well kept. It is the staff that really put this place over the top. Check in was pleasant and very helpful. A bellman brought our bags up and reviewed some of the features of the room. The concierge followed up moments later to confirm the room met our needs. Top all this off with the fact that the Rubens is just around the corner from Buckingham palace and you have an excellent hotel for a first visit to London.

My wife and I booked a 4-night stay at The Rubens for our first trip to London and we thought it was lovely. A very old school hotel with wonderful doormen and a homey atmosphere. We arrived several hours before check-in, and they were able to accommodate our belongings without hassle and even gave us a free room upgrade. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The room was well kept, very clean, and the amenities thoughtful. Located in a great area, just a 4-min walk from the Underground and within walking distance to many of London's best attractions. I would absolutely stay at The Rubens again for the location and the charm.

Fantastic hotel right in the heart of London. Staff is absolutely amazing. Paschal the Doorman should be a national treasure! Location is amazing as you are close to all modes of transportation to get around the cityscape. Much you can walk to as well! Our room was pretty tight, but we expected that coming to Europe. Otherwise, absolutely top notch place to stay!!! Cannot recommend any higher!!

I'm thrilled to share with you my recent culinary adventure at Rosa's Thai Victoria. Let me just say that the Pad Thai chicken is a dish you shouldn't miss! It's a masterful mix of flavours that bring your taste buds to life. But what makes this experience even more special is the service provided by their staff member Harri. Harri is not just a waiter but an ambassador of hospitality. His friendly and attentive service made the whole dining experience memorable. From recommending dishes to providing timely refills, he's truly the cherry on top of an already delightful meal. So, if you're in the mood for authentic Thai cuisine, Rosa's Thai Victoria is a place you should definitely check out. And if Harri is your waiter, consider yourself lucky!

It had a good selection of food. I wouldn’t get dessert from there though. But the main dishes were lovely. I had popcorn shrimp which were fresh and crispy. And I had the drunken noodles with chicken. Also very fresh, and the chicken was very tasty. Good filling meal.

It's a wonderful restaurant, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Where you can enjoy reasonably price tasty Thai food and lovely cocktails. I had lunch here, which I enjoyed with a glass of wine on this visit. The service was excellent.
Rosanita - 2 months ago

Service somewhat impersonal and rushed. Thai food was just ok and had more of an Indian food flavor vs. strictly a Thai flavor. Sauce in my entree was a bit too fishy. The chicken meat, both the satay and Chili & Basil with chicken, was not the best quality. A fine quick meal location but I would not go out of my way to eat at this location nor would I recommend it.

Large portions even for the starters. Really liked that the fried calamari was not oily. I had the tom yum noodle with prawns and it was exactly what was needed for a chilly day.

After waiting years to visit London this hotel was the perfect place! Already starting the visit with a great concierge named Robert who was extremely friendly and answered all the kids questions. The rest of the staff was also really helpful and were always there to help if anything arose. The placement of the hotel makes the trip in London easy seeing as how good the connections are by the hotel. Would recommend the breakfast on the hotel it was amazing! Rooms were great if a bit untidy in spots in the bathroom.

Everything you need and more from a hotel in London. Great location but still quiet enough to sleep well and get work done. Fantastic room size , great services and amenities as well as a good food and beverage offering!
Josh Sarembock - a week ago

Our trip to London was motivated by our participation in the London Marathon. The hotel is well located, close to tourist attractions, the subway station and restaurants. Magnificent, clean, cozy rooms. Breakfast with lots of options. The difference was the courtesy shown to us by the staff, especially Florina with her charisma and friendliness. In fact, everyone at reception is the benchmark for a good hotel, I felt at home. Sincerely, Rafael and Celina.

Just came back from a stay here. Booked for my two daughters birthdays. Room was huge and beds very comfortable. Though going by the price it is what I'd expect. Ideal for theatre location. Only downside was noisy next room occupants and traffic outside. Still 5 stars! Would definitely come back

This pub has a really nice feel to it and is very pretty. We had dinner in the upstairs part which was beautiful. There’s also an outside covered terrace that looked really lovely. The food was really tasty and artfully presented. Only thing that let it down was that the scallops were a bit over cooked. Paige served us and she was very attentive and friendly, she made an Old Fashioned for my husband, even though it wasn’t on the cocktail menu.

Such a lovely pub, food was excellent and a great selection of drinks. Josh, Reya and Barry were great and service was super quick! Would recommend, especially the outdoor area on a sunny day.

This is a great pub to pop into as it has plenty of seating and good service. I haven't been here during busy times though so not sure how it changes. Lovely roof terrace and a small garden also which is a rarity in the local area. Being charged £7.40 for a pint is never going to sit right with me BUT it was good and just last weekend I was charged much the same somewhere else and the lager was so bad that I told them to take it back and left for a different pub. I haven't tried the food yet but it certainly smells good.

Had dinner and drinks here on a Sunday. The menu is different because they offer Sunday roast. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked. Also had the sourdough and Camembert. Very good. The drinks were priced about right and they poured fairly. I could not use the app to order drinks because it wouldn’t take my phone number. The bartender said he preferred we ordered through him anyway. Nice place.

Really nice place located a 5 minute from Victoria train station. Warm, welcoming atmosphere, traditional British pub decor done smartly. 2 Nice little terrace areas, one smoking, one not. Didn't stay for food, just had a quick drink soon after opening time,hence why it was quiet but it had soon filled up by the time we left. Friendly, Helpful and efficient staff, especially the young lady who served us, thanks.

Cool little place..Stopped in here for a bite to eat after visiting Buckingham palace from the bus tour. The salad was so crisp and huge for a "small". I also had the honeycomb ice cream which was to die for.

We had lunch here. We had chicken, fish and chips, kids size pasta and some sweet potato fries. They were all very good. The service was unbelievably amazing. Staff here were trying to cheer my daughter up and make her laugh, super nice and have sense of humor. Love this place.

Great experience at afternoon tea. Tasty food was plentiful. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The price was great, especially for the amount of food that we received. Large selection of teas, and a very delicious hot chocolate.
Mistysunflower2 - a month ago

Had afternoon tea, fixed price, good deal for the the price. The savory bites were delicious, the scones were great but the sweets were meh. Note if you have a group of 4+ then you can add a glass of prosecco for free.

Had an absolutely amazing saturday night for my Girlfriend 30th Birthday. Got seated in a great location in the restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The waiter was great. I wish I got his name as he deserves praise for his service, humour and style. Also had a very good waitress that served also. Quite busy night. Food when it came was exceptional from the A la carte menu. Amazing Chef. Prices expected from being in the heart of London so around £70-80 per person for Starter, main, desert and drinks. Also accommodating for my Girlfriends birthday was an amazing memorable night. Thankyou BBar. Would definately recommend and return again.

Ok, for what it is, it's not the best pasta in the world, but in my opinion it's good enough - good portions, nice vibe and prime location - what I was looking for at the time. Friendly staff with good customer service 👍 which was essential for catching up with friends, you want to talk about what's new in your life and what's been bothering you, not being distracted or disappointed by something else around you. Quick service and consistent recipe. All in all, well done for a chain restaurant 👍

I visited with my daughters earlier for the first time and was really disappointed. The staff were very abrupt and quite rude, with the exception of one staff member who offered us our leftovers as takeaway. The food was mediocre, it did however arrive very quickly after us ordering. It arrived before the drinks. When it came to paying, it was made out that our payment method was declining-which it was not, after some insistence the card was not the problem and it was actually the machine. No apology was offered for the accusations of us not being able to pay.

Review for autistic people: Zizzi Victoria The room is a good temperature. The lights are not too bright, but it is very loud because sounds reverberate around the room a lot. There is music playing too. It was somewhat difficult to communicate with my dad who was sitting across the table from me. Tables are quite close together, and I went at 16:00 on a Sunday and even then it was quite busy. I did not visit the toilets so I do not know what they are like. The staff are friendly. The food came extremely quickly (a bit suspicious) and was mediocre. It was pretty good, just not as good as I had hoped. I had spaghetti bolognese. My dad had a lasagne and it was burnt on the bottom and not very good either. The desserts were good - I had a chocolate snowball which was rich and delicious. Drinks come with ice. Overall, the environment was noisy and a bit stressful and rushed. The food was OK. Sensory experience 5/10.

A lively place that’s in the heart of Victoria, with fairly good food and quick service. It’s very crowded and they would benefit from a few tables being removed, but overall it was a fun atmosphere. Having the pizza oven and kitchen on open show was a nice touch. Service was quick and the food piping hot.

Wonderful late night dinner. Steps from Clermont Victoria and Victoria tube station. Reasonably priced, attentive service, delicious drinks, and expansive menu choices at varying price points. Nice portion size. Definitely did not leave hungry. See photos Spaghetti carbonara Veal milanese Frosty frog and old fashioned Affogato and tiramisu

I love this chill and casual place. The seating outside the blankets and the food . I’d recommend the carpaccio , eggplant parmesiana and angel hair pasta .
Local Girl - 5 months ago

Santini was recommended by our friends as a must go to . Upon visiting my impression of the place wasn’t up to the expectations I had . The place is cosy but a bit old . The terrace in pictures looks much fancier . Service was ok but we had to wait until the waiter looks at us to get what we wanted . Food was good especially pasta with burrata but the rest was average especially the fried calamari .. in my opinion it was overrated

We came for Valentines Day. The staff were friendly. The food was good though my friend who ordered the Fritto Misto wasn't happy. He said it wasn't at all crunchy but rather quite soggy. My Dover Sole was good and the Carbonara excellent.

What an amazing place. Top notch Italian food, great service - just what you need when you are eating out. The pizza and the mains were excellent. Expansive menu, something you’d find for every taste. Highly recommend and I’m going to definitely visit again. Perfect place to go if you have theatre night planned too!

If you are in the Victoria area and feel like an Italian - Give this place a try. Highly recommended. Great family atmosphere - that feels cosy and warm. Wonderful food and great attentive staff. We had the vegie pizza, pasta with chips.

I'm usually quite fussy when it comes to choose italian restaurant, but if you happen to be in Victoria you don't have to look any further. From the starter, to the main, to the desert, everything was exquisite. Very authentic italian food, so nice and full of flavors. Accompany your meal with an aperol sprits and a glass of italian red wine (i choose primitivo ) and you can get the most authentic italian experience. The service as well was top notch and the atmosphere of restaurant was very nice. We will definitely be back.

The best Italian food I ever had! From their pizza to pasta and desserts there is none better. Service was so enjoyable everytime we visited. Even remembered our drink orders from previous nights! Wonderful experience

Great food, great atmosphere, great location. Absolutely loves the resturant vibes and food, their portions are pretty big and they got a vast variety of drinks options. Prices are fair for the food quality.

Pretty good food. Fun environment. Easygoing restaurant where you just sit yourself, get your table number, and go order at the bar. The pie was crispy and homey and delicious. The chicken katsu burger was pretty good, but they used Indian curry instead of Japanese curry, which I didn't like much. Overall, give it a shot!

Aayushi along with the rest of the staff, was super friendly and efficient. Food was great, as usual, and will continue to be the place we come to on our return journey home from London. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to vacate within a certain time frame. See you again soon 😊

Dropped in on a rainy afternoon for a couple pints and some dinner, and was very happy overall. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, good sized pub that was full but not crowded. Had the Steak Pie which was quite good. I'll be back next week to test more beverages and food:-)
