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

We stayed for 6 Nights at the Sofitel St. James. Upon arrival, the staff was very attentive and made our trip an extra special experience. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious. The bathroom luxurious. The hotel is centrally located and close to tourist attractions and public transportation. The breakfast choices were plentiful, perfectly prepared and delicious. We would gladly return to this property in the future.

Great location, fantastic staff, easily accessibility to any and everything in London. Very centrally located to Buckingham palace, Piccadilly Circus, and a few other places ask within walking distances, or taking the underground works well. Everything is contactless pay so be prepared and don't buy the day pass for the underground just tap and go much easier in my opinion.

We were looked after from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Every member of staff was delightful and Jasmine in reception made us feel so welcome and special. We enjoyed afternoon tea in the Rose lounge which was wonderful from the food and ambience to the level of care from all the staff. The accommodation was lovely and we slept really well. We will definitely be back.

This hotel is located near the Piccadilly Circus and is a great place to find peace amidst the hustle and bustle! It's very convenient to go to any place ! And the service of the hotel is very good! Every staff is excellent, from the front desk to the concierge department. All the staff are very friendly and they will solve all your problems! So I am very satisfied with this hotel!

We had a lovely relaxing stay, my husband and I. The hotel interior/colours are vibrant and the rooms are comfortable and nicely refurbished. The breakfast had also a wide selection and everyting was good. Thanks to Stefania for helping us with our booking.

First Michelin Star Experience: Had lunch with friends at Veeraswamy, and there's no strict dress code for lunch, just smart casual—so no tracksuits, torn jeans, or baseball caps, and try to avoid bringing backpacks if possible. The food was fantastic, truly up to the Michelin star standard, with impeccable presentation. My most favourite one was the lamb chops. Why am I saying this? Probably lamb chops cooked in an Indian style is to live for and die for. I also enjoyed the Pineapple juice, it was probably the best one I'll have till I die. Overall, we had a delightful meal, and the staff were very polite. The desserts were good, though not quite on par with other Michelin star restaurants per my friend's thoughts. This was my first Michelin star experience, and I'm looking forward to many more in the future. PS: Children under 10 are strictly not allowed.

We were having a celebratory meal here and it was fantastic! The ambience and atmosphere was great - the history displayed across the walls & the decor was on point. The team were very attentive and there was a good pace to service as well. The food itself, was bursting with flavour - a good level of spice in all of the dishes we tried & the chutneys as well! Not forgetting one of the drinks too - spicy! It was lovely when they bought out a chocolate ganache with a candle prior to dessert to celebrate our occasion too - a really nice touch. Whilst it's expensive (it's Michellin!), completely worth the price!

We visited this in Aug-24. It was for a birthday meal. The service was great and the restaurant looked better when the sun was setting and they turned the lighting on, as it had more of a romantic feel. The service was great and cannot complain. The waiter was very helpful and gave advice and also was on hand to deal with everything. We ordered multiple dishes, wanting to try a variety and the waiter did inform us how much we needed but as we mentioned we wanted to try a variety of dishes he understood. Any leftover food we took home and they packed it for us. Overall the food was lovely, however their lamb Chops wasn't as we expected vs other same calibre restaurants. It came with a sauce which we didn't expect. They had a nice biryani and the Momos had a twist but also a slight chilli kick (not too much though). Total cost 2 people - £268.88 Great experience, great food, great evening and great restaurant. I would recommend and come back here. A bit on the pricey side vs equivalent restaurants, so not 100% it's full value for money, but definitely worth a visit.

We had a celebratory dinner at Veeraswamy for my parent’s anniversary. This is a great flagship restaurant (not going to lie, I felt astonished by the interior more than the food) under the India Collection. The oldest Indian restaurant in London and possibly in the entire UK. But don’t get me wrong, the food is delicious indeed but not as quite on par with the price levels. Starters are a bit pricey for an Indian restaurant compared to its sister’s restaurant (Masala Zone) and some of its relatively cheaper competitors. Also where I live I can easily get access to lots of Indian food options within a few mins away. Hence it wasn’t that authentic as I felt, just a cool clever branded restaurant. Go for the experience regardless. Mains were limited to basically duck, chicken and just one-two fish and lamb dishes. The food options felt basic, dessert menu was quite interesting because it sounded very authentic and locally Indian than the mains and starters. However, the menu selection does offer vegetarian and Halal options. The options are great in size for the table to share. The place has a ton of history. The decoration highlights this and adds to the atmosphere of the place. The staff were polite and welcoming. They knew the menu very well and were able to help with questions and selection. It is pricey for a reason (it’s a Michelin starred and we spend £278) so do bear this in mind before stepping in this ostentatious place. Again, the price may not reflect on the quality of the food standards, but it’s a worth an adventure to encounter. You’ll be looked after well, the waiters are very friendly and approachable. Not the usual crowd you’ll notice in other basic Indian restaurant elsewhere in London.

Everything about Bocca di Lupo is outstanding. It was Saturday evening and we walked in, without a booking. The staff were very welcoming and did what they could to accommodate us. Service was friendly and relaxed, but also attentive - perfect! The interior design is stylish, classic and comfortable. The artwork is especially good. The food surely has to be the best Italian food, in London. Everything, from the bread to the dessert, was perfection. Incredible!

Bocca di Lupo is one of those rare gems that actually lives up to all the hype! We were seated at the counter top, directly in front of the open kitchen. It was an incredible experience to watch the head chef masterfully run his kitchen with a well trained, passionate team dedicated to their artistry. The cuisine was beautifully prepared and presented. The martinis, a perfect match. I highly recommend Bocca di Lupo.

I visited Bocca Di Lupo this last Friday which makes it the third time I have visited the restaurant. We sat at the bar in front of the kitchen which for a party of 2 is my favourite place to sit. I can confidently say that Bocca Di Lupo is one of my favourite restaurants in London! From the friendly and helpful staff who cater to every query and need you have. To the exquisite food the chefs produce which never disappoints, it really should be on the top of your lists to try! (The picture below is the Tuna which we shared as a main course… I’m normally not a fan of grilled tuna but this was rich and perfectly seasoned- truly showcases the quality of ingredients they use)

I always try to head back to Bocca di Lupo for a meal when I am in London, and it never disappoints. The service and staff are genuine, welcoming, and warm, and the food is delicious. We had the ravioli this past meal, and it was so good, we ordered another portion. The friend that I took with me said it was her best meal in London (and we had been to several outstanding places). Snag a seat at the counter to watch the action and maybe have a chat or two with your neighbors and make new friends. Once you’re done, pop across the street to get a gelato to help digest the meal properly. You’ll be glad you did.

We love the food, and service here. Great welcoming and amazing food as usual. Only one thing down is their tables are all too close. I will prefer to have some distance between tables.

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

I went for brunch with a group of 4. The drinks were exceptional and free-flowing. The food was pretty good, but there were some things on the menu that were not as memorable. The sausages were exceptional. It is important to clarify with the waiter any preferences you might have. Our table, for instance, did not want blood sausages. We should have advised the waiter of this ahead of time. Otherwise, everything was fantastic!

Absolutely everything we ate was delicious, from the steaks to the fish to the starters. Even the broccoli was the amazing. Service was fantastic, presentation and atmosphere was beautiful. We had a very lovely time for my husbands birthday. They brought out a delicious little cake to celebrate him free of charge and it tasted phenomenal. Honestly such a wonderful place, we will definitely be back. We couldn’t even wait to take some pictures. I I’ll definitely be back and 10000% recommend you visit.
J K - 3 months ago

Server was really good, he shared today's beef selection, explained the cuts. The steak was cooked to your preference. Ribeye to me was the best out of the trio, however, this is my personal preference. Each person had their own. The drinks menu was excellent since it provided a diagram to show the tasting notes of each drink.
Karen Yim - 3 months ago

We went to this restaurant yesterday for dinner (Saturday 05/OCT) and we were two. The location is particular and welcoming. The food was very very good: variety of beef and very high quality, even the cooking was perfect; the fries were delicious. Our server, Krzysztof was friendly, outgoing and very professional. He suggested to me the dessert: the cheesecake and it was the perfect end of the meal. The restaurant is in an optimal position to visit London and the prices are good considering the quality of food and the fact it is in Piccadilly.

It’s something like a ceremony to visit Gaucho at Picadilly once yearly. Service and atmosphere excellent as always. I wasn't too satisfied with my Meat it wasn't how it was clocked but it was primarily the quality of the piece. Both we had the chorizo of 500g but with different cook medium rare and well done.

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.

One of the best locations for seafood in London. Loved everything we ordered but the miso hake and the crab is worth the mention. Amazing ! Would highly recommend to anyone. Additionally, the service is top tier. All of the waitresses are lovely and helpful. - great advice for wine pairings
Çağla Ekşi - a month ago

Walked in, having read some good google reviews, which it more than lives up to. The food was exceptional. We had dishes focusing on prawns, crab, halibut, and hake.We also treated ourselves to caviar. All was amazing, fresh, and flavoursome. Rounded off with a couple of glasses of white burgundy, the whole experience was faultless.

Where do I start... my mom and I had a layover in London for 24 hours in 2019 and we wanted to try the best fish and chips in town. We went to Randall and Aubin and omg... we had (and still have) no words. I had the TASTIEST meal in all my travels. Well what do you know... my mom and I went to London again last year but this time we stayed for 4 nights... and ate here 3 out of the 4 nights 😅 We couldn't get enough. The lobster bisque is the BEST I've ever had. I've tried so many different ones since then to try and replicate the experience and nothing compares. My mom feels the same for the French Onion soup. The fish and chips... omg. So crispy. So tasty. Chef's kiss. We also tried other highly-rated places in town and these were still the most outstanding. The rock shrimp tempura was the perfect balance of crispy and sauce-y. The sticky toffee pudding was the perfect ending to the most delectable meal. Needless to say, my mom and I dream of going back to London just to eat here again 🤣 Other than the fact that we love it, too, of course but... Randall and Aubin though... we can't wait to go back 😅 Please never change your recipes! Your consistency is everything!

This place is AMAZING! Great beers, staff members are very nice and the atmosphere is absolutely stunning! Different rooms so everyone can have one matching his vibe, each being absolutely beautiful. I'm sure they don't need advertisment, but I highly recommend this pub! You have to experience the atmosphere!

Nice Irish pub with lots of unique beer options and non-alcoholic beers included. Unfortunately the bartenders were not friendly so I wouldn't return here but had a nice time chatting with friends and meeting interesting people.

This is a great pub, full of character and interesting things to look at, housed in a beautiful building. I had a nice pint of Beavertown neck oil costing £8.11p.

Stopped in for a pint - labyrinth would be the right word ! We could get over how the bars and stairs kept going. Beautiful architecture, nice bars, great service, and the best pint of Guinness I found in my half day in London. Great atmosphere, and not so loud that you can't have a conversation. If I ever make it back there, I'll be visiting again for sure.

🚇 Piccadilly Circus 🍺 £7.40 Guinness A Popular Tourist Destination. Waxy O’Connor’s is located in the southern part of Soho close to Leicester Square. The nearest Tube is Piccadilly Circus. The pub is named after a Waxy O'Connor who was born in Dublin in 1788. Waxy made his living as a candle-maker, hence the nickname. This has to be one of most unique drinking establishments in the whole of London. The pub is set out over many floors and levels starting with a smallish bar at ground level. Head further in and you arrive into a cavernous underground space accessible by down two sweeping staircases. At the heart of the pub is a giant preserved beech tree which is 200 years old. Other key features are the timber carvings, stained glass windows, beautifully tiled floors,stone walls and cushioned pews. On the your way down to the basement bar there is a multitude of nooks and crannies to settle into. The beer line up is all keg with a mix of mainstream and craft beer options. I decided on a pint of Guinness, to be fair it was a decent pint, but at £7.40 this was the most expensive Guinness I ever bought. There is a simple food menu available of Pies and Burgers, Fish & Chips is available at £17. I have visited this pub numerous times over the years and pretty much had the same experience. Waxy’s is a magnet for tourists and large groups which means it’s usually pretty lively. The pub hosts live music seven nights a week and has eight big screens for major live sporting events. Waxy O’Connor’s isn’t my cup of tea or pint of Guinness for that matter, i’m not sure about the Irish Pub tag either. This place will appeal to the excited tourist and day trippers out on a West End bender. I do love the decor here which I thought looked amazing. This is a pub should definitely visit once. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 12.12.23

Thanks for the great food, wine and brilliant service. Seafood Risotto is my favourite. Love it. Not to mention, other dishes were awesome as well. The wine is especially excellent here too. I really appreciate their service, they not only provide a good recommendation, but also very considerate. Thanks

Al Duca - what a great experience! My only regret is that I didn’t order the fresh made carbonara pasta. Affordable night out, very attractive place with a nice structured menu. The cherry on top of the cake was the almond liquor served with canolis. Delicious! Will definitely come back!

Went there for supper after a wine tasting at L'Escargot last week. Lovely Chicken Milanese - my wife dined here once a week for lunch for several years in the early 2000's and, reliably, it's still good value, good service and good food and wine. Had a Tiramisu each for pud, should have shared one!

Really enjoyed this place on my lunch break. Working in Soho for 12 years and am so pleased you can still find somewhere new and interesting to eat. This authentic sushi restaurant delivered on all fronts. I shall be returning for my sushi cravings!

Found this place on an evening in Soho after not being able to find space anywhere else (surprisingly busy for a Wednesday). So I kept walking and saw the window plastered with all these awards. Did a quick google maps check and said yep let’s eat here. They are unpretentious, great and friendly service, really high quality, reasonably priced sushi and food! I found myself craving it the next day… Conveyor belt sushi, pay by plate, prices are up on the walls and on the menu which you can also order from. The Chefs are preparing the food right in front of you. Everything you’ll need is on your take at the bar, tissues, chopsticks, pickled ginger, wasabi etc.. I highly recommend and will definitely return soon.

This hole in the wall ‘sushi train’ style restaurant is immaculately clean, fast friendly service and super fresh seafood. Great spot for a quick and healthy bite to eat. Huge menu choices as well as a la carte. Highly recommend the soft shell crab rolls. See photo
