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

A wonderful building, staff were amazing. Breakfast was great. Rooms were very tidy, very comfortable. Shower was one of the best I've ever experienced in a hotel. A great hotel by any standards. The building is jaw dropping at times on the inside. But .. External sounds were penetrating into the room. From AC units to the subway trains and the people on the street. However, I can't complain... I slept like a log. So just goes to show how the body adapts. Lastly, the TV channels didn't work but I wasn't there to watch TV so it didn't bother me. Just something to bear in mind. Overall I'd definitely stay again.

The location of this hotel was excellent for everything we wanted to see. It is right off of Trafalgar Square so we were able to walk to Westminster Abbey, Parliament and Big Ben, and Buckingham palace very easily. We also didn't mind the walk to Tower of London and Hyde park, but could have easily taken public transportation as well. The bed was very comfortable and the restaurant has a beautiful breakfast room. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a lovely hotel room here. We opted for the Deluxe Double and had a good amount of space. The view wasnt great but we were on a side that overlooked another building. If your room was at the front then you'd have a great view. We were surprised by how quiet it was. We didn't hear anything outside despite it's busy location, and I don't know if we had any neighbours but we did not hear them! Breakfast was included for us which included a buffet style English breakfast, but continental options and many more were also available as part of the price. We booked on the day, having tracked the prices in the build up and it saved us a good chunk of money! Overall a great experience!

Great location - we walked everywhere to see parks, major landmarks, shopping, dining. Front desk staff is the biggest part of our experience. We arrived early and they helped us multiple times throughout the day. They were friendly and attentive. We took an upgrade on the room and it was quite nice. Breakfast was included and way beyond expectations for what you would get with a free meal. The hotel bar was nice / friendly environment. Overall, it was a great value. We’ll be back.

For the price, this hotel is not worth it. We were told our minibar was stocked and free of charge but it wasn’t. Ours also wasn’t working. The two waters that were in there were warm. We called and they sent a maintenance person who said he’d be right back with a replacement but he never showed. We were never told about an airport shuttle upon check-in and when we asked about it the next day, the check-in rep said we needed to request it the day prior. But who knew that? The air conditioning is also bad. We didn’t expect a really cold room but we did expect comfortable. Finally, we requested a late check-out and was granted one at noon, but they called us after 11 and told us we had to check out at 11. When I explained we had been granted one until noon by the desk representative, he said it wasn’t in the system. Not my problem and I wasn’t lying about it! I’d never stay here again. Service is really, really bad from our experience.

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.

Loved Boyds. An oasis of calm in Trafalgar Square. Check out the expresso martini

The food was fresh and flavorful, the service efficient, and the atmosphere cozy. A lovely spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended!

I have used this restaurant often. 5 star review for the team. However, two very terrible ladies, both from India have us our first unacceptable Experience on July 7, 2024. The poor treatment we got from the ladies was received from the two bartenders on duty between 12:15-12:20 AM on July 7, 2024. This incident occurred at the Boyd restaurant and bar, which is situated within Club Quarters. As we approached the bar, one of the bartenders, a lady, began shaking her head and smiling while informing us that the bar was closed. This was done in a dismissive manner that felt both unprofessional and disrespectful. To make matters worse, she then proceeded to walk away, leaving her colleague behind who openly laughed at us. I typically refrain from leaving negative reviews, but this experience was particularly upsetting. The dismissive and unprofessional behavior displayed by these two individuals is unacceptable and does not align with the standards I have come to expect from your establishment. Their conduct not only tarnished our evening but also left us with a very negative impression of the restaurant and bar. It is crucial that such staff members do not continue to represent your organization, as their behavior could severely impact the reputation of both the restaurant and the hotel. Based on this experience, I regret to say that I will not be returning to the restaurant, and this incident may also affect my continued patronage of the hotel which houses Boyd.

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

Great stop after a log day of sightseeing. The steak and Ale pie and fish n chips were great. You order drinks at the bar, and there was a good selection. The pub was full of football fans watching the World Cup games. Typical festive pub atmosphere. It was a bit of a wait for the food, but they were very busy.

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!

Super cute atmosphere, the food is good, and the staff is absolutely lovely. I didn't like my steak so they changed it for me so easy, and they even apologized several times. Try the pie and mac and cheese was delicious.

Lovely pub with a good selection of drinks and a good menu with reasonable prices. The pub had looked busy when we entered as it was lunchtime. However, we ventured downstairs, where it was cool and a lot quieter. Food came reasonably quickly and was well cooked and nice 😋

This place is well located. Very nice pub, they have a variety of beers for those who like to taste different things. Is in a very transited area across from Trafalgar Theatre. Definitely is a touristic place. Food is very average, nothing wow or even good. The chicken breast I ordered seemed overcooked. The steak pie is interesting, although the taste wasn’t that good. Something I liked, is that you pick a table, then order and pay from the bar, they will bring your food to the table. You can add the tip amount that you want, since is not required.

We stayed here for our family vacation to London. This is a great location, and within mins of everything. Very convenient walking distance to major entertainment and food options. The staff here are amazing and helpful. The place is very clean and our entire room was full windows and views! Now, the only issue I had was the bathroom. Fixtures were loose, I needed to tighten the shower head myself. Some of the tiles were cracked, the toilet seat was loose, and the toilet paper holder fell off the wall. The worst part was that shower controls were very loose and hard to get a temperature every use. Other than that, the bed was very comfortable, we had a lot of closet space and a mini fridge in our room. Across the street, there are amazing options for a quick breakfast, too. And one block up, you will find many options for dining and entertainment.

HUGE bed, and I mean HUGE. Two people can easily lay and star fish in the bed without touching each other. Bathroom had an amazing shower in it with good pressure, something that isn't common in hotel bathrooms. As we were seeing a play at His Majesty's Theatre, this location was absolutely perfect. We were close to the theatre, but also places like the Lego Store and China Town. And for that the price was very reasonable.

Incredible customer service! We checked into our room and found that it was a wheelchair accessible room, the AC was not working and it had a strong odor of glue from the renovations. We spoke with the front desk and although they had no rooms to switch us to, the manager arranged for us to go to their sister hotel (only a block away), he walked us down to the room himself to have us check and see if it was satisfactory, then helped us switch over (even offered to help personally with luggage). He arranged for us to have our breakfast for free and sent up a bottle of champagne to our new room. Absolutely fantastic customer service!

The reception staff here was super friendly and helpful. The room itself was big but a bit on the shabby side. The bathroom wasnt very clean with black mold on the tiles and the drain cover popping up but nice walk in shower with good pressure. Even the hallways were a bit shabby. They had signs saying they were upgrading though so might get nicer. It was an amazing location! Super easy to get to all the main sights or main tube stops. Overall would stay again just hope the renovations include fixing up some of the more outdated parts of rooms and cleaning gets better

We first visited Sherlock Holmes about 15 years ago and decided to return this month for a meal and a couple of pints. As great as we remembered! From the kitschy Sherlock decor and his study to the quality English pub fare to the efficient and warm service upstairs, we were quite pleased with this most recent visit. Shout out to the upstairs dining staff — Natalie, Jo, and Kaitlin — for making our visit perfect! (And a HOT TIP - the kids’ fish & chips is the best value!)
Ryan Bache - 2 months ago

This is the third place I've had fish and chips at in the past four days visiting London, and I finally found objectively good fish and chips! The chips were bland as is normal for Bri'ish chips (sorry, England, just being honest), but finally a place where the fish is still crispy and not soggy on the bottom. Nearly rated the food a five because of it, but the typically bland chips and bland peas keep the overall food rating at a four for me. Definitely recommend this place for beer AND fish and chips, though!
James Barr - a month ago

Highly recommend this place for its food and atmosphere. With little knick knacks from Sherlock Holmes’ day displayed around the place. Would recommend for a lunch meal or a place to bring visiting family for a cool and good British food experience. The food was also very flavorful, I love what I had, (but forgot the name I’m sorry it was Duck something 😅) but it was really good. Pretty good portion and the duck was tender. Thanks for the food!

Great pub not far from Charing Cross Station with an awesome surprise upstairs in the dining room....The recreated study of Sherlock Holmes! Nice vibe and lovely attentive staff, have only ever drank here but as it is a Greene King pub I am sure the food is just as nice as others I have tried! Good selection of beverages and decorated beautifully inside.

Charming pub with a story to tell. I always love it when there’s a theme. The memorabilia inside the exhibition room are incredible. I can understand why this place attracts many tourists. Quality food and pints make of this a lovely place to grab a bite while out and about.

A lovely traditional pub, uniquely split (linked underground), either side of a quiet passage near Charring Cross. Part of the Hall & Woodhouse chain; the Badger Beers are a refreshing change from Greene King and Fuller’s pubs nearby. The outdoor space is perfect for fair weather drinking. Staff were friendly and the food looked decent. Well worth seeking out!

The house lager beer is amazing, highly recommend. The atmosphere is like a classic English Pub which is what we were looking for. And the food is really good as well, we had double cheeseburgers. It’s a really nice pub!

Nice pub, in the heart of London, but off the beaten track. Good array of beers. Goof sausage roll.
JP Borman - 5 months ago

Lovely quirky pub with good range table sizes. They do do food but I didn't look at the menu. Drinks are about average price for that area of London. Good quiet spots to read your book and enjoy your pint. Service wasn't great. Asked which Stouts and Porters were on and got a blank look - just ordered a Guinness as that's all I could see. I suspect there were some real ales but perhaps not dark ones? Either way the bar keep didn't seem to know what I was asking for which isn't the best for a real ale pub.

Cozy pub with great decor. Heaps good food and beers here, and the staff were friendly and accommodating to my kids and me (including a ravenous toddler). Son loved his fish finger sandwich, and I enjoyed my fish and chips washed down with a Badger Fursty Ferret.

This is a very popular pub with real ale drinkers, evidenced by the 10 cask beers and the hundreds of beer mats above the bar. It is a narrow pub with additional seating upstairs. Being near to both Covent Garden and Soho it is ideally located. I was here at 4pm on a Monday afternoon and it was quite busy. There is a designated standing area out back but many drinkers preferred to drink in the street out front. The toilets are upstairs and accessed by a steep, narrow staircase that could prove problematic for the less mobile.

Fabulous pub with a marvellous range of well kept cask beer. Had the Marble Stout myself. Busy every time I've been in here regardless of the time of day. A central London institution. No children allowed. Additional seating upstairs if it is rammed downstairs.

This is a great old bar, in the heart of London, nice selection of beers and such a great atmosphere. Enjoyed the visit, nice!

Great little pub. Traditional feel, small and compact yet can fit plenty people inside. Definitely a pub directed for those attending the theatre but that didn't stop me. Fantastic beer and cider selection from various breweries. Fast friendly service. Great character and charm about the place.
Bradley Whalen-Griffiths - a year ago

This is a fairly famous English pub in London. Well known but still a little off the beaten path. Nice classic feel with an old age style but new beers. A lot of casks for ales. A small area in the main bar with more space on the second story. Nice place to have a pint of ale.

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.

Dinner here a number times previously. This time it was election night. Had cocktails in adjacent bar prior to dinner, table for three. Had the dinner three course- great value. Cocktails are very good - standard London hotel price of £20. Dinner was well priced:2 courses for £39 and three for £45. Food was generally above average to good. The green pea volute was very nice as was the lamb cutlet albeit the portion for the lamb was tiny. Desert of strawberry and lemon Millefeuille was good too- beautifully presented. Service was very good . All in all a very pleasant night with good option for food and great cocktails. Previous review: A quiet Wednesday evening for them. Excellent from Start to finish. We had an amazing sommelier called Selina who was engaging and wonderful to talk to about her knowledge of wine. The ceviche starter was good as was the chicken mains .both presented beautifully. Desert of gateau was also very good. Had the most amazing wines- the amarone and the pipparello. Will be back next month when the set dinner menu changes.

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!

You always know what you're going to get with pizza express. The pizzas were tasty and the dough balls were delicious. Great location and nice big, spaced out restaurant. I've taken a star off because the service was very slow, even though there weren't that busy. Our dough balls were also Luke warm by the time they arrived.
Dave Selkirk - 7 months ago

Pizza Express mains are always great, no complaint. The service here needs some improvement; staff don't want to help, don't want to make eye contact, and they seem only concerned with strictly their own tables and, I guess, some kind of commissions system. The wrong order was brought out too, and we had to pay extra due to the waiting staff not understanding our order. Nevertheless, it's Pizza Express, so it's still great.

The pizza was good, but a little burnt. But the service is very slow... wait, wait, wait for everything.

Nice pizza (I had the garlic prawn romana) and very glad to know that they do gluten free food (one of our group had dietary requirement) very well. Decent price with app offer. Our waiter Kris was very friendly and helpful. A good meal all in all.
