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

If I could rate this hotel any higher, I would, I’m all about customer service and they exceeded my expectations. The rooms were incredible and so spacious. I traveled with my spouse and my two little ones. We also celebrated my birthday, which my husband added a surprise “package” and it was amazing. I cannot rave enough about this place! The location was ideal too. Close to everything, but away from high traffic and noise.

The room was nice,I was surprised about 2 TV’s in the room 😅.I loved the bath and the “make up table” kind of rustic one…love it….the amenities as well…lovely. The service was great…for a future stay in London I will recommend to my friends. Appreciation for the General Manager and for the rest of the staff, as she made my stay lovely. Thank you so much,St.James team!☺️

Lovely welcome with a glass of champagne. When shown our room we were told there was a choice of no less than four colours of room decor (green was absolutely fine with us!). Another nice touch was the surprise elegantly-written eco-aware birthday card with celebratory cake. When booking, I had not known I would have restricted mobility pending surgery. So glad we booked this hotel which is so centrally located - we had tickets for the Haymarket Theatre next door so things worked out perfectly and such an easy walk to Trafalgar Square, National Gallery and St Martin's in the Fields where we enjoyed a choral concert. Very much enjoyed our 2-night stay.

Great location. Great room design. I really enjoyed the motif and aesthetics of the room. It was very cool to experience central London from this hotel. The bed was so comfortable I could hardly bring myself to get out of it. Luckily, the 3 minute walk to the Soho area made everything so much easier.

My wife and I will never stay anywhere else. The hotel is beautiful, the staff very attentive, all amenities you need in a great location. Kimberly made our stay extra special remembering that we got engaged at the Shard a couple of years ago and had a chocolate Shard dessert sent to our room as a wonderful surprise one night. Thanks so much, we will surely be staying again during our next trip back to London.

Excellent Service and Excellent Food. We went to Veeraswamy for weekend lunch, indeed an amazing experience. After a warm welcome, our family was offered a nice corner table. The restaurant had a very warm feeling, good decor and overall cleanliness was good. For cocktails, we ordered Stormy Monk and Lychee & Rose Martini. The monk drink was a punchy drink with sweet notes. The Martini was sweet. For starters, we ordered chicken lollipop and kheema gotala. The chicken lollipop which was cooked to perfection where the chicken was tender yet crunchy, for the keema, the lamb was cooked to perfection with correct blend of spices served on a bread along with a fried egg. For the main course, we ordered Butter Chicken Masala, Tandoori Raan Kebab with Yakhni Pulao and and Chicken Dilkush. I must say all the dishes were cooked to perfection and were very very delicious. Butter Chicken was sweet , creamy, and tangy served with fluffy lught naan. The lamb was so tender that it could be cut by a spoon, the gravy was smooth with subtle notes of rose water and garnished with flaky almonds. I loved that offered a complimentary desert for our anniversary. Will recommend this place anytime for an authentic Indian restaurant.

Without a doubt one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. I’ve found when it comes to Michelin-starred Indian restaurants, apart from the service there’s two aspects that make a restaurant exceptional. The food has to be unapologetic and uncompromising. Most places get one right. But very very few establishments excel on both fronts. Veeraswamy takes the crown among Indian restaurants. My mouth still waters whenever I remember the tasting menu.

Simply cannot fault this place. We had a brilliant experience here on Christmas day. The staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating and attentive. Every dish served was delicious and we especially enjoyed the attention to detail with their environmentally conscious Christmas crackers. The Christmas vibe with the live music also made for a lovely experience! :)

Delicious and flavourful food presented in the most beautiful way. While we expected the food to be great, the service levels were excellent too. Right from entering the restaurant, all the way to the dining experience - everything was on point and borderlining absolute perfection. We were here to celebrate a birthday, and the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary birthday dessert. How very thoughtful!! We will surely be back again 🙏🏽

Had a lovely dinner here! The food was divine. We annoyed the crab cake and soy samosas to start. Then, the chicken makhani and lamb biryani. Everything we ate and drank was absolutely fantastic. The service was great until we received our food and our server never returned to our table. We were happy to be left to enjoy our meal but, when we were interested in ordering another drink or paying the bill, the server was nowhere to be found. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. However, I would expect more from the service of a Michelin restaurant.

Good meal here! This place had been on my list for quite some time, so I was excited to get a reservation. We ordered a few different things to spilt. The standout dish here was definitely the ragu, which was clearly homemade and absolutely delicious.The pesto dish as well was lovely! The lemon pasta dish didn't quite do it for me, nor did the desserts. The fried mozzarella balls were tasty, but not particularly interesting or creative. Overall very good spot!

Great no frills Italian cuisine. Very attentive and professional service and the food was excellent. I love that next to every dish in the menu they tell you which city it comes from. Don't skip pasta! The fish was also great, but there is something for everyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!! JAMES!!!!! I had the absolute pleasure of being served by James, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. His service was nothing short of impeccable — attentive, kind, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every detail was perfect. He anticipated our needs before we even realized them, making the entire meal feel effortless and special. And the food? It didn’t just satisfy me — it changed my whole life. Every bite was a revelation, a perfect balance of flavor, texture, and warmth that I’ll be thinking about for a long time. I walked in expecting a meal, but I left with a memory I’ll cherish forever. James is a true gem, and this experience wouldn’t have been the same without him. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your server, you’re in for something extraordinary!!! 🤍

Came here because it was recommended for solo diners. Ho-Ly Cow! I ordered the trofi with pesto. I will think about this meal every time I’m at an Italian restaurant and all pesto will be forever compared to what I had tonight. The bread was great too! I also ordered the ricotta gelato for dessert… I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was really refreshing. I highly recommend sitting at the counter where they cook the food if you can. Truly a great experience! (They even pushed my stool in for me when I was seated lol)
Jasmine Jorge - a week ago

All the staff with their knowledge and behaviour created a perfect experience. You can choose between two sizes of the same dish in order not to waste food if you’d like to try more dishes. Food quality was amazing and the stool with back support at the counter was really comfortable. In addition, we could enjoy the environment which was not loud compared to other places in central London on a Saturday night with full restaurant. Me and my partner couldn’t choose better place for our anniversary.

I visited the restaurant and had a very pleasant meal. The waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and most helpful organising gluten free bread for my meal. The chef cooked the food to perfection, there was simply everything to like. Highly recommended

Stayed at the hotel during the NYE period and have everything good to say about it. Joao and Olivia were extremely helpful to ensure our room was as per what we booked, and gave us tips on how to avoid the crowd during the NYE countdown. They were extremely helpful, and were willing to go out of the way at all times to ensure our stay was pleasant. Would definitely come back. Thank you for making our stay amazing! Keep the good job up!

We were very happy with our stay at the Thistle. We arrived early before check-in, hoping to leave a bag while we went out to explore, but were told our room was all ready and we could get in early, which was a lovely surprise. The room it self was comfortable and clean. The location was an easy walk to many of the areas we planned on visiting (West End, Chinatown, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, The National Gallery, St. James Park, Soho, etc.) The room was fairly quiet at night, considering we were only a few blocks from a busy area. As an added bonus, the room came with water bottles, coffee, tea and biscuits that were refreshed daily. I would definitely recommend the Thistle in Trafalgar Square.

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.

Hotel is fine- room was clean ish and bed very comfy and very big. Location is everything and the reason for the price tag- far from luxury- and the walls are pretty thin- you can hear people talking straight through the walls.

The food was absolutely amazing! The steak haché is definitely worth the hype. The Merlot we had with the dishes was delicious, and the meals were not only tasty but also affordable. Great value for money in a beautiful setting. For a three-course meal and a few bottles of red wine, we paid less than £70 per person for a group of four. The live jazz band really added to the experience. The only downside was that the floors were quite slippery, which caused both the staff and guests to slip from time to time. Otherwise, it was an amazing experience. A must-do!

Amazing art decor style architecture, I have my annual birthday meal at Zedel. Great food and great atmosphere. Some live music if you come on the right time. Just amazing atmosphere and experience. We had the Choucroute Royal to share. Generous portion and reasonable prices. One of my favourite French restaurant in London. You will never have a bad meal here. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Booking in advance advisable especially during peak. I have never seen this restaurant not busy. Nearest tube - Piccadilly Circus Parking - available Toilet - available ( even the toilet look great)

I can honestly say this is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Just wow. You cannot get such an atmosphere and good food even in Paris (Paris doesn’t even come close). Everything was impeccable. The building is so beautiful, there was live music, spacious and comfortable sitting, the ambiance was amazing, and the food absolutely phenomenal! My party was French and they said the food was outstanding. I cannot recommend this place enough. It really is worth the splurge.

Very nice Atmosphere, well recommended there is also a nice live music show (that starts at 7pm) food was also great we ordered steak and fries with a side of soup and some French dessert, make sure to ask the English menu to know what u are getting (as u see I don’t know the name of the things we got😭) for sea food it was not great very small portion compared to price. Overall a very nice experience. I recommend 👌

Before enjoying an afternoon opera performance, we had a delightful lunch experience. The restaurant's décor was luxurious and stunning, yet the pricing was remarkably affordable for central London. We opted for a 3-course Prix-Fixe menu, which, including a 15% service charge, cost ONLY £23.66 per person. As it was a friend's birthday, the restaurant presented a dessert plate with "Happy Birthday" written in French and complimentary macaron, which were delicious. The service was exceptional—staff were warm, attentive, and passionate about their work, making us feel thoroughly welcomed. While the food's taste wasn't extraordinary, it was decent and offered excellent value for money in London. I would highly recommend this spot to friends and would gladly return when visiting the opera nearby again.

This is one of a few restaurants that just doesn’t disappoint. I’m picky when it comes to burgers but I have tried the traditional Gaucho burger and the Wagyu burger and they were both absolutely delicious. The fries are also lovely. As a well-known high-end restaurant I expecting nothing less and it’s a go-to restaurant for whenever I yearn for a high-quality beef burger. I am never concerned about the quality control, it’s always superb.

We came for my mum's birthday and had a really great time. The whole team congratulated my mum and made her feel very special. After the meal she received a little birthday surprise and she really had a great time. On top, the food and drinks were just delicious and worth every penny. Great service from Dolph and everyone else and we would happily come back any time!

Didn’t think too much as I went in as i was just craving steak and Google map suggest it is around my area. Ordered a two-course lunch meal and turned out to be some of the best food I had. The prawn starter is phenomenal literally brighten my depressed January cold and rainy days. The steak is just perfect as I expected as the review and reputation said. Service is pretty decent. I will definitely come back and try more stuff when I have more chill time!

“A fantastic experience for meat lovers! I highly recommend choosing the option that includes everything – every cut of meat was impeccably prepared and absolutely delicious. A true treat for anyone who appreciates quality and flavor!”

Edison was extremely mannerly, friendly and welcoming. Super helpful with wine recommendations and our meal options. Every time he greeted us it was always with a smile and making sure we were enjoying the experience. Food was delicious, atmosphere cosy. Will definitely be returning!

Used to go regularly to this restaurant, but haven’t been there for sometime. I’m not much of a fish eater. The restaurant is fairly small and used to be a fine butchers and has retained a lot of the original shop details such as the ceramic tiles, but this can mean its a bit of a squeeze depending where you’re sitting. Service was really good and the staff were very friendly. I did order a drink without ice but it came with ice but this was corrected very quickly. I initially ordered the beef burger but that wasn’t available so I went for the chicken. Half of it was good tasty white meat, but the other half was greasy and fatty, not enjoyable at all. My friend had the Devon crab and oysters which he thoroughly enjoyed. Good atmosphere, but the food for the price should’ve been better

Had a great meal at Randall and Aubin on a dull and cold January Friday afternoon, we had a booking at a later time, but the staff were kind enough to fit us in 30 minutes early. The staff were very well informed and helpful with the menu and describing the food. The space here is what I would describe as cozy, you are on some of the locations right next to the next couple just out of elbow range, which for us was no issue as both couples either side of us were friendly. Along the outer wall the width of the table is smaller, but you are not so check by jowl. We had some lovely food; I went for the half a Dorset crab which was well prepared and cooked and very tasty. The service was quick without being too quick. You are not hurried through. The desserts were great with my wife having the sticky toffee pudding and I have the apple piie

Randall & Aubin is a charming little restaurant located in central London, just a short stroll from the main theaters and popular attractions. While the ambiance can feel a bit cramped when the restaurant is busy, we found ourselves seated against a wall with limited space to move. Our neighbors were so close that it felt like they were almost part of our dining experience! Fortunately, they left shortly after we arrived, and we asked the waiter if we could move to a table by the window. He was very accommodating and quickly cleaned the table for us. There was a minor misunderstanding with the manager, who thought we had moved without waiting, but he graciously apologised. As for the food, it was impressive—delicious and surprisingly affordable, with a menu that predominantly features fish dishes. Each item was flavorful and well-prepared. The dessert was a highlight, both delectable and visually striking, perfectly in line with the theatrical vibe of the area. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Randall & Aubin and will definitely return.

Stopped at this spot first night in London, the food was so good we booked a reservation and made it our last meal before heading back to the states. The staff were friendly, the wine and champagne offerings were the best around, and the food was decadent. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu between the two visits, so here are my recommendations: 1) The Caviar (just get the 50g, you won’t regret it)* I preferred with the sincere but the champagne was good as well. 2) The tuna steak (or any of their “main” fish dishes) all were cooked perfectly, and paired with unique yet complimentary flavors. 3) The muscles 🤤 4) Crème brûlée. The presentation of this dish was exceptional. They let the flame die out as it sits at the table. It wasn’t overly blended or runny, and the flavor was subtle but amazingly rich. (The chocolate mousse was great too, served with sugar candy and raspberry) **The second time we visited we got the White Bordeaux option they had. If you’re looking for something less expensive If you’re like me, and you know MA/ME 🦪 then I would skip them in the UK. We tried oysters at almost every restaurant, and while R&A had the best ones, they’re nothing compared to the ones in the states. The staff was top tier. They made recommendations, answered questions, and helped navigate the menu/specials. Kind, generous, and professional. The atmosphere was bar lounge, dark lighting, and the music was so good I had to download SoundCloud just to access it another time.

Waxy O’Connor’s is stunning! The woodwork, stained glass, and massive tree in the middle make it feel like a mix between a Gothic church and a cozy Irish pub. It has such a unique atmosphere - like stepping into another world. Just soaking it all in with a drink in hand. Waxy’s is one of those places where you can completely lose yourself in the vibe. Loved, loved, loved the pub! I will definitely go back again.

This pub is awesome! Great interior design (the indoor tree looks great), live music starting at 10pm (on some nights), friendly staff. Nice vibe overall.

One of, if not the coolest bar in London. Amazing interior design and after more than several visits, I still see something new every time. Where I had my first decent pint of Guinness as well. Not had the food yet but it’s always looked delicious and I’ve heard great things
Matt Dugdale - 3 weeks ago

I had heard of this place, and coming in definitely lives up to expectations. A somewhat hidden Irish/ lord of the rings themed bar in soho. The decoration is amazing, the ambiance is great, and we thoroughly enjoyed the live music. It is a place to try at least once if you’re living in London. It’s just one of those that everyone knows about and you need to go at some point.
