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

Gathering after work, which was great fun and easy to find. Underground kinda as you would walk down the stairs into the 90s style neon light entrance. They serve food and drinks here with a bar area. I note they got private rooms as well on the day. Bowling only 4 lines so it's a rather small place. Staff were friendly and helpful with setting up the game quickly. Parking after 6:30pm a street across is free but near tube station/ bus transportation anyways.

This location offers a bowling alley, a bar/ lounge area and a section for quick bites and eating. It's a really nice place. The staff were polite, the cocktail I had was really nice as well as the chicken wings. The price was fair and value foe money. We had to wait for about 20 mins for a free bowling area but it wasn't crowded. The bowling screens and area functioned properly. It's a nice place for a date night, quick bites with friends and generally great for group hangouts. The music choices over the speakers were great as well. I rate them solid.

The place is small and comfortable if it's not too busy. However we tried the lagers and it didn't seem to be genuine and the taste seemed to be off, we informed the bartender and they were kind enough to give us a free bottled beer. Everything else is fine.

Loved our visit for a quick bowling. Very neat and well arranged alleys. We totally enjoyed our time and had loads of fun. Also a cute photobooth was amazingly cute for a vintage bw photo.

Just back from a two night stay, our standard room on the top floor had seen better days but it was peaceful, with a nice view, good air con and a decent size (for London). The location is perfect for the British Museum also handy for Covent Garden and the West End with a couple of decent pubs just across the road. Breakfast was pretty good too and staff friendly.

Just finished a 4 day stay starting Sept 6, 2024. Great quite location but still very close to everything! Room was very nice with good size bathroom and great shower! All the staff were friendly and helpful. I would like to especially recognize Sarath who seemed to be in charge of the restaurant which we eat at every morning. I travel a lot and I’ve never seen someone so attentive to what the guests need or want! His example has obviously rubbed off on Raj as well! Great stay, thank you.

The hotel was great. Great value ! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Laxman at the bar, extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. Had a great time at the hotel. Will definitely visit again.

Definitely not a 4 star. The service, the decoration, the equipment and quality isn’t there sadly. The bed and pillows were bricks. The toilet flush was impossible to press, shower was dripping here and there,… The plus is the location of the hotel which is amazing and the room is spacious.

Having visited London many times, I've now found my go-to hotel. The rooms were great, as was the location close to multiple Tube stops and the British Museum. The staff was friendly, helpful, efficient, and professional. We could not have been more pleased. We only took the Tube a few times because we walked to many of the places we wanted to visit.

For some reason they remodeled the pub (not sure how long ago) with these wooden cubicle type areas around the bar area, which just kills the atmosphere (feels very closed in), it has lost it's charm. They still have a small open area in the back of the pub with the traditional open area which is where you will find everyone and a very small area at the front of the bar,(which on a Friday afternoon is a very old crowd). Standard beers on taps. Service is fine.

Victorian pub with beautiful embossed glass, wooden traditional decor. Other than small open area, there’s wooden cube set up around the bar with privacy. Impeccable service. Cons: -very limited beer choice, only Sam smith lager and ‘ stout’. (Larger half pint£3.80) -disgusting smell in toilets ( both gents and ladies)

Very atmospheric place(paintings, two floors, lamps, warm lights), but the rest is not on the same level. Pie was too crunchy and dry, definitely microwaved - cold outside and hot as hell inside. Waited order very long, hadn't got my tea(when it was brought, the cup was not clean). The portion was quite little for a pretty high price.

🚇Holborn 🍺 £6.70 Taddy Lager The Princess Louise is located on bustling High Holborn in Central London. The nearest Tube is Holborn which is just around the corner. This pub was built in 1872 and is Grade II listed. Princess Louise was the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and this is the only UK pub named after her. In 2007 the pub went through a comprehensive restoration which saw the reinstatement of the original multi-roomed layout with wood and etched glass dividing walls. The decor here is jaw droppingly beautiful, this is one of the finest preserved Victorian pub interior’s in London. At the centre of the pub is an ornate mahogany servery with a carved wood back bar. Fanning off the servery are several bars, snugs and booths. Upstairs is a carpeted bar predominantly used for dining. Everywhere you look there are stunning details like enormous engraved and gilt mirrors, Portland stone columns, etched mirrors and stained glass, marble fireplaces and Victorian tiles. You’ll find some the best finery is in the corridors, the mosaic flooring is just exquisite. The Gents toilet is also something to marvel. This is a Sam Smith’s pub, so the beer offering is all in house brews which included two cask ales. I decided on a pint of Taddy Lager, my pint was great, price point was high. The food menu is hearty pub classics. I arrived around 2pm on a Friday afternoon in April. I thought I’d visit before the post work rush so I could have a good gander at the splendour. The pub wasn’t overly busy and felt calm and relaxed. As most of you know Sam Smith’s pubs have no TV’s or background music, so you could have heard a mouse fart. The service was excellent, I had a nice chat with the Guv’nor who has also run The Yorkshire Grey near the beeb. Holborn is an area I love visiting as it is a goldmine for beautiful boozers. The Princess Louise is a simply stunning pub, its opulence and grandeur is something to behold. If you are ever in this part of town, be sure to visit this beautiful London pub. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 19.04.24

Didn’t have food but had drink and used the toilets. According to my partner the gents toilets had a very strong smell of urine, but were spotless otherwise; could have something to do with the fact the urinals are listed, not sure. Lovely Sam Smiths pub

very cozy place, the service is very good, the food is also not bad for such a price, it took maybe a little more taste, but overall everything is really good, the house wine is great, would I go there again, I really do. on the first floor of the restaurant you can also taste many different beers. after delicious food and a cold glass of beer I was satisfied

Excellent service, delicious food, great atmosphere. This places got it all. Been there a couple times and loved it each time. This is one of the places where you could bring your friends who visiting London. Sadly I don’t have a video of one of the meals which they serve with a domed lid with steam inside, looks impressive! and taste amazing as well. Their desserts are very good too! So, basically anything they serve will not disappoint you. Definitely recommend! The staff is always nice and polite.

Upstairs for dining -- cozy (small and tight), downstairs is the tavern. Wonderful atmosphere with standing room outside. Everything from bar snacks to small dishes to real meals; I had the smoked chorizo and the pot pie of the day, and onion rings another time. Beers on tap and plenty of gins, including one only available at Ships!

This place is a little gem. Took the entrance at the back straight upstairs. Service was exceptional. Polite and informative. Efficient. Food was great. I had the chicken breast and it was like a posh roast. It was very very tasty. The gravy was quality but the star was actually the chicken. It was cooked with a nice crispy skin. It was high quality food and I was pleasantly surprised. Downstairs doesn’t seem to have quite as much class as upstairs just by looking. Go upstairs and eat. It was fantastic. Would definitely go again

We stayed 2 minutes within walking distance of this pub, and were rewarded with a sweet & cozy night cap 4 nights out of the 7 in London. We’ll definitely need to dine in next time, but the sticky toffee pudding was delicious.

The Square Pig is one of my absolute fave London pubs! The food is absolutely delicious (especially the small plates), and they always have a great selection of interesting beers on tap - not the same old Amstel etc you seem to see everywhere else! Team are super friendly and you can tell that they just all get on with each other really well. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Jemma Forster - a month ago

Brilliant and friendly people working here, really lifted the mood. Spent a fortune as a result, but worth it. Decent food, must say. The staff and bar people make this place a real winner. The echoing in the room was a bit much, all very hard furniture and wood floor I guess, but couldn’t hear a thing. But that’s probably my age!

What seems to be an average pub is below average. I went with my partner at open around 12:00, we were greeted by slow service in which we had to get our own menus, the pub also smelt like cat piss. As for the food it's your typical London prices however our steak and burger we received were burnt and bitter. My partner mentioned to the wait that they couldn't stomach how burnt the meat was and didn't even get an apology. I wholly can't recommend this place at all and would even recommend people to stay away.

Modern pub with a traditional feel with a nice outside terrace on Red Lion Square. Good range of beers.
Peter Claydon - a month ago

A very large, modern pub with outdoor seating and a function room downstairs. Some TV screens available (to watch the rugby, on this occasion) but they don’t dominate the pub. A large range of craft beers and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

I recently visited My Old Dutch Pancake House and had a delightful experience. We tried their crepe-style pancakes, and they were absolutely delicious, with a perfect blend of texture and flavor. The menu offers a wide variety of sweet and savory options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a tasty and satisfying meal!

Lovely little place! Great pancakes with a nice selection of savoury, sweet, and sweet&savoury choices! Also good veggie options and a kids menu which was good. I would recommend to book in advance as it can be quite busy! Service was good, overall a great place to eat and take plenty of pics

Lovely pancakes that are filling, tasty and look amazing. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in, despite us not having a reservation. The restaurant is huge and nicely decorated. I also liked the choice of drinks, especially the fruit beers! We only had savoury pancakes, but was envious of the sweet ones going to other tables. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want amazing pancakes!

This is my 1st time I’ve visited The Old Dutch. It’s a real delicious treats for adults and kids. The menu is wide variety of foods, the staff are friendly! The place is very-cute 🥰 The portions are huge 😰😍 Whether you want a full English or traditional pancakes visit this place.
Catalinka - 3 months ago

Savoury pancakes here were very soggy and I much prefer crepes. They upside is they are quite large so 1 could be easily shared between 2 people who are also ordering dessert. The dessert pancakes were really good. Nothing out of this world but solid desserts, a little cold but that’s the nature of these little fluffy treats. The mini poffertjes pancakes were the best dish here and a must try. Share if you can!

The salad choice is great and reasonably priced. The warm buffet is a bit hit an miss - be careful with anything that contains minced meat. I had meatballs recently (not for the first time) and they were lamb. They weren't declared as lamb meatballs. I also had a 'beef pastry bake' and could taste lamb. I suspect they were a mix of beef and lamb. I can't stand lamb, so both times my money was wasted. It's just not on to not declare the type of meat correctly.

5 Stars all round! On my way to work I pop in for a light breakfast; my colleagues and I without a doubt always go for lunch.. Their hot food options are of such quality and variety that you'll never get bored. Staff are helpful and friendly, always served promptly!
Rania - 5 years ago

I would give it 6 stars if I could. The food is so good that there is a danger you might bite your fingers, I suggest you try the lasagne and other hot food for lunch. The prices are more than reasonable, in fact far cheaper than other local options. Box of hot food under a mere £6. Fresh orange juice for under £2. Staff are very friendly and informative making it a welcoming place. I come for coffee and lunch Monday to Friday without fail and even during lunch the queue moves on efficiently like a Japanese train.
Mr Enigma - 6 years ago

I was in the area for a few days for training and went here every day! A wide range of amazing tasting food. Coffee's are relatively cheap compared to other places and taste exactly the same (coming from an old barista). Hot food at lunch varies every day aswell as the salad bar. Would definitely recommend purely due to fresh and great tasting food aswell as the good pricing.
Tomaz Rekart - 6 years ago

Beautiful little cafe... decided to come here once for lunch during work and I was blown away. They offer a large variety of delicious and healthy foods, perfect for anyone who’s needs a quick bite to eat, or for anyone looking to sit down and enjoy a tasty meal. The staff there are also really nice and cater to your every need

We really enjoyed the Sunday Roast Beef dinner! This was our first meal in the city after long flights and travel and it did not disappoint! You will not walk away hungry…the portions are very generous. The roast beef was very tender and the cheesy cauliflower was wonderful! The staff were very kind and ready to make us comfortable! Great spot for a nice beer and comfort food!

Lovely cosy pub. I visited last night and had a wonderful experience. Live DJ and great atmosphere. Unfortunately I never caught her name but I was served by a lovely lady who was very helpful and chatty. Congrats to her for graduating from kings. The shots were a good price and the Guinness had a very funny logo. Would recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting the area

Stopped by for a quick lunch with a friend - food was ready within 15 minutes. It wasn’t very full so it was easy to get a seat. Staff interaction was minimal.

Good food and drinks, coffee can be improved. I asked for hot milk, but they couldn't re-heat. The bar staff wasn't friendly, a bit slow aswell.

This pub was dead on a Sunday afternoon. One patron was reading a book. So it’s good if a quiet calm time is what you’re after. The bartender wasn’t friendly and they don’t offer and gluten free beer or cider. Snoozefest.
