London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of St. James's Park Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We came for Sunday lunch. We booked a table upstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the pub. I ordered roast beef and my wife had steak which were both very nice. If I had any criticism it would be about the children's menu which has been discontinued which meant there wasn't really anything we could order for our little boy apart from chicken wings. That said I can highly recommend the Albert, we enjoyed our time there

Beautiful building, cozy interior, attentive and quick service. The prices were completely reasonable considering the location. We were satisfied with every dish, but the chocolate-caramel cake was absolutely incredible!

The beef was actually mediocre, as it had not been cooked thoroughly. However, we were a last minute group and they managed to get a table for us within minutes. Hence I loved their amazing attitude towards us. The atmosphere was also amazing, and we loved the good food, including the ice cream !! Overall would return again, but this time not last minute 😅

This is a such landmark pub on the Victoria Avenue which did not get bombed down during the WWII! The building itself is very welcoming and inviting! When you walked by it, just draw you in! We walked by a few times and decided to coming tonight and we are so glad we did! The first beer the bartender poured for me, when I touch the glass, the glass is warm, maybe that beer mug is just out of the dish washing machine! She immediately use another mug to pour me another beer! The fish and chips also is the best so far as we been stayed in London for a week now! The fish is fluffy and crispy, the chips are Crispy in the soft side! Both are perfectly seasoned! We will love to come back again for another drink in this pub soon!

Great place with tasty food and drinks; portion sizes are fair. Also, the decor is really nice - I had a chance to be there in December right before Christmas, and it was even more charming. I recommend visiting!

Visited the Two Chairman for work Christmas dinner, and we were very pleased we chose this venue. The food was amazing and the staff were excellent. A very friendly establishment, nicely decorated for Christmas, which added to such a warm atmosphere.

Late post but we had lunch in Two Chairmen Nov 2024 we had the great steak and soup and mostly the black mojito and spice red margarita well done.. Thanks for amazing experience.

Great pub with a local vibe. Two chairmen and an excellent selection of beer and ciders and the bartender was more than willing to discuss the different options available. The menu had a bit more selection than some pubs, there was a mix of classic pub fare along with more contemporary options. We had the salmon cheddar fish cakes, chicken ranch bacon sandwich, and the steak and ale pie. All were very good.

We had a wonderful meal in the small upstairs dining room. The food was excellent and our server was very nice. I would definitely recommend for a romantic evening or a family.

While in London from Orlando, FL, my wife and I visited this Pub off the beaten path. Enjoyed that it was NOT a tourist spot and offered authentic British food. Good service and environment.

“A wonderful experience at this restaurant! We had a lovely family gathering in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with excellent service. The dishes were absolutely delicious, offering a variety that suits all tastes. We enjoyed the desserts were the perfect. The place is clean and comfortable, with beautiful lighting that adds a touch of romance. We will definitely be coming back again!”

The atmosphere and the owner was lovely and so kind. The food came so fast and it was delicious. However, even though we came halfway and there wasn’t many people one of the staff kept hurrying us up. The management was super helpful though and would highly recommend, especially considering the location it is very nice.

I ate here after arriving to London for the first time with my sister after travelling…starving!! I was so happy to go somewhere and eat 💗 The food was excellent! We are patient people so the food arrived perfectly!💗 We ate at the pizza express in London Victoria! I wish I got their names of the servers because they were amazing! Kind, sweet and friendly! My sister works at pizza express in Colchester so if they read this review and remember who we are I hope you knew that you both were amazing and thee best servers I’ve had💗 Starters: We ordered our drinks first I got the most tasty cider ever which was raspberry& elderflower and she got a shot of Prosecco with a martini I think? I forgot I got The chili prawns which weren’t that spicy but you can always ask for more 🤍 & she got the calamari with no complaints about it! Mains: We both got pizza which was mwah ~💋 chefs kiss! Perfectly thin yet filling Italian pizza! I got thee American hottest and she got the half & half can’t remember haha! And shared hallomi bites Dessert: We shared two scoops of their delicious sorbet which ended the meal on a refreshing note ! Thank you again for the amazing time! An amazing atmosphere which amazing food!

The pizza was average. The staff were quite nice! The wine was nice, it is not that expensive. 😊 Very close to the palaces. There was no tap water unfortunately and the inside was a bit loud 🥲 but other than that everything was great! 🙏🏼 the large pizza is extremely tasty and good if you’re hungry! 🫠
Yiğit Torun - 6 months ago

Not a bad pizza 🍕 restaurant to sit down and have a beer and a slice. Pizza is very thin so it’s not as filling for the size they come in. Romania style pizza offered as well. Check it out!

We had the seafood tasting menu at Quilon, and it was absolutely wonderful! The flavors were exquisite, and each dish was beautifully presented. The service was attentive and elevated the overall experience. The only slight letdown was the dessert, which didn’t quite match the exceptional standard of the rest of the menu. Nevertheless, a memorable dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back to explore more of their offerings. Highly recommended for seafood lovers!
SJ - a month ago

What an amazing experience! The food is absolutely delicious, the Biryani is out of this world ! I never tasted a Biryani as good as the one I had in Quilon, the only thing was, I found the lamb a bit dry by the rice just simply amazing! The rest of the food was superb, I had the Crab cake as a starter and it was really delicious, I tried the Black Cod and Scallops from my colleagues and there were cook to perfection and very fresh Staff are very attentive and professional it was a great experience and I would definitely be coming back!
Nicolas Cochonneau - 2 months ago

We first read about Quilon a couple of years ago as they offered a tasting menu accompanied with beer instead of wine which sounded interesting. We finally got round to visiting and were not disappointed. After an excellent cocktail each in the bar (the Qojito is amazing) we took our seats in the restaurant and chose the seafood tasting menu to eat. The beer option didn't seem to be there so we went for a bottle of white wine to go with the seafood. From the fantastic poppadoms and chutneys to the delicious desserts the food was all tremendous. Particular standouts were the scallop and the black cod, however all the food was top notch. The portions didn't look small but they were very filling and we certainly didn't come out feeling hungry. Great food, excellent service and reasonable value - it's fair to say our experience at Quilon was worth the wait.
Roman Filipowicz - 4 months ago

We had an evening with friends at Quilon. Happy with a couple of dishes. Service was good. Could have been better. We were served a couple of dishes complimentary. However that could not make up for the mistakes made with appetizers and main course. The fish and shrimp for appetizers were overcooked. We had the mango fish curry and the gravy lacked flavor. The fried okra was done well, however was missing salt and/or seasoning. The Lamb shank was undercooked. Desserts was good. Chicken pepper was excellent. Cocktails were excellent. I will be back but would stick to finger foods and cocktails at the bar.
Manvendra Singh - 5 months ago

The food was really good, but the presentation was even better. The mini masala dosas were delightful and packed with flavours; however, the real MVPs were the chutneys that came with it. I really enjoyed their cocktail “Botanical Garden”. I found it complimented the every course rather beautifully. The asparagus, beans and edamame was good, but forgetful. It provided a balanced flavour among all the other items ordered, but I’d recommend you skip this item. What you must absolutely get is the Southern s-a-a-t— these crispy idlis had the perfect crunch, topped with tangy and spicy chutneys with ginger balancing the spice in every bite. Amazing. The staff was lovely, and the service was excellent. The most memorable bit was receiving a printed photo from the staff! I do think it’s still missing the ambience you’d expect, especially with the harsh overhead lights. Introducing softer yellow lights would make it much more comfortable.

One of my most favourite pubs in central London. The steak is amazing and beer as well! Staffs are quite friendly!
Kazz - a month ago

As a child, I had been here before, and in my memories, this was a fantastic (and delicious) place to have lunch. After several years, I finally got to visit the place again, and it fully lived up to my memories! Quick, friendly staff, located at a beautiful central spot near Buckingham Palace and the adjacent park! Highly recommended, by far one of the best fish and chips places in London.
Simone VDW - 5 months ago

Cracking burger, had the special brunch. The wife had the pie. Told me to mark down by a star as no mint sauce for the mushy peas.........it must be a northern thing. Good service, italian manager is polite and checks on everything. Would come again when in London
richard cheeseman - in the last week

Needed a pub near Westminster Abbey that served fish & Chips. My friend from Italy had never had it. Unfortunately, this place probably served the worst Fish & Chips I have ever eaten. We were told the kitchen was having problems when we first got there, but it would only be a few minutes before we could order. I wish we had gone somewhere else. The breading on the fish was not true to form, and the fish itself was hard & chewy. This is not the place to go for traditional Fish & Chips.

was just here with my friend, huge shoutout and thanks to Artur, made our drink so fast they were ready by the time I’d finished paying! Superb service and drink :))

Amazing location. Artur and his crew are the best in the city. I cannot speak more highly of a Starbucks crew. Service is A+++
Simon Holguin - 6 months ago

Last year, my family and I went to the Starbucks just assuming that we would get a couple of drinks, we didn’t assume that we would meet a good friend, Arthur! We live in the United States, to be more specific, though Washington DC, when we traveled back to London this summer for a vacation, we made it a priority to go back and visit our amazing barista friend! I forgot the other gentleman‘s name while we were there, but he was amazing as well! Great drinks, even greater service!

Was okey, but there is no toilet so you should not expect setting with comfort here like any other cafe , staff are good and efficient, I think a bit pricy but this is London

Beautiful vegetarian option and lovely sticky pudding. Nice atmosphere in the bar. Full 3 course dinner with guests and lots of wine so spent more but was worth it
Szilvia Szakacs - a week ago

Had dinner with 2 friends and it was a very pleasurable experience. The Caxton Grill is part of the St Ermin's Hotel and you will not be disappointed if you visit. We had the Gazpacho Soup, Venison Tartare, Gin Cured Salmon, Catch of the Day, Sirloin Steak, Cauliflower Steak, Brocoli, Chips, and French Beans, followed by the Vanilla White Chocolate Mousse (with as glass of Tokaji). All the courses were delicious. We were all very satisfied......the only thing I would have liked would have been an extra slice or two of the salmon with the starter, but it was very tasty and the trout and horseradish mouse was excellent. My steak was perfect. Big thick cut, juicy, well cooked.....one of the best steaks I have eaten (and i have had many recently!) The service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. The restaurant works well for families, couples, or business dinners.

Sunday night dinner at 7:45pm. Relaxed, friendly service. Toasted mackerel, burger, BBQ short ribs and French bean all perfectly done and quite tasty. To an American palette, the beans slightly undersalted, but easily remedied. Delicious and flavorful otherwise. I enjoyed the glug-glug of the fish-shaped water pitchers, an odd and fun touch. An elegant and enjoyable dining experience.

Visited with 8 colleagues on a Wednesday night and was pretty disappointed with CG. Expected better based on the reviews. Had the Christmas menu and the Turkey roast was poor. It wasn’t presented well and the cuts were very gristly. The veg on the side weren’t cooked through in some instances. It’s just annoying when you pay so much for what looked like a half-job. Won’t be back here for entertaining my team.

The food was great, though the service left something to be desired, having to ask multiple times for water and long wait times for our food. The staff were very friendly however. For the price I would choose other restaurants in London
bee honey - 6 years ago

Way too pricy. Tiny dishes that you will not expect for the price you pay. Service is 12.5 and they don't even tell you about it.
Eddy Silas - 5 years ago

The bento boxes were really good, we tried the Mediterranean and the Korean ones. The Korean bento had a very nice matcha cheesecake and the salmon in the Mediterranean box was really delicious. But the service is simply awful, the waiter was annoying and unfriendly so I won’t come back for sure.
Kate Dianova - 5 years ago

The hotel in which the restaurant was within looked very nice, the same could be said for the Bistro too. There is a decent selection of food, from Indian, Italian and English just to name a few, I ordered the set menu, its works out much better. I'd recommend the prawn tempura which reminds me of the dynamite shrimp is PF Changs in the States. The food is is good however, the our server wasn't so good, we were left waiting for things and had to remind her on many occasions. Apart from this a nice experience.
p4rma - 5 years ago

We were welcomed on arrival and well cared for. The food was excellent, we chose from the Chef's Special of the day with three courses for three of us, the fourth was strong willed!, coffee and wine between us it cost £50 per head. The tables have a very uncomfortable pedestal which is much wider at the bottom but it goes up in lots of 'steps', women do not usually sit with their legs apart, but that was the only way to cope, so I would much prefer a more sensible base to the table.

Happened into this restaurant to grab dinner after a tour of Buckingham Palace and wanted to avoid the rain. Immediately seated, even with the place full to bursting. Service was excellent and food was quick and delicious. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

The mussels dish is unexpectedly big - over 30 of them. The sauce is quite fishy in taste which sometimes overshadows the sweet taste of the mussels, slightly better with lemon juice. The sand haven’t been cleared from the mussels though so after the bites I need to spit the sand out. The mushroom risotto is well with a good texture and the sauce is just savory and creamy enough. Maybe better to share the risotto though as towards the end the taste became too heavy with the thick risotto sauce.
Terence Yeung - 2 months ago

Excellent flavors!! We LOVED the mushroom chicken, pizza with spicy sausage, and garlic focaccia bread. The environment was festive, relaxing yet energetic. Definitely recommend
Sammy Rodrigo - 2 months ago

Nice ambience. We didn't have a booking but they managed to give us a table. Veal cotlet was nice, I would have preferred abit more salt in the veal. Risotto was nice, also needed some salt and lemon. Some of the mussels had crunchy bits in it which is basically because it wasn't cleaned properly. Overall, nice experience and good food. Calamari was nice. Chicken ceaser salad was good but the portion is too little for the price paid, comparing to prices of other dishes that has more ingredients in it than just lettuce and chicken.

The restaurant is really nice and cozy. The staff is amazing, when we arrived they were full but they did everything they could to get us a table which was really nice to see. The food is absolutely delicious, the best paste I've eat in a while. The carbonara are just delicious, highly recommend.

This branch is relatively small although it has seating areas, up and downstairs. It was fairly busy with mainly with tourists on my visit. The service here was slow with only three staff members on service at the time. The refreshments, wrap, baguette, rolls and the fillings was good quality, freshly made and flavoursome. Disappointingly the restroom was not to the standard of cleanliness that is required.

I had the dark choc & almond butter cookie. It didn’t have the best flavour but It satisfied my sweet craving after a bad meal. The service was great.

I popped into this Pret as I like them it’s familiar territory for me, and I had an appointment nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food tasted good albeit the bread was a bit more chewy than I expected. The store was quite busy lots of takeaway customers. Some people seated on Ground level, I decided to eat downstairs. I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent amount of sockets down there as my phone was nearly dead! However luckily I decided not to go to the toilet until when I finished eating! I was so shocked as it was not even 11am and they smelled bad and were trashed. These toilets were unisex toilets there were two of them and both of them were bad. I didn’t bring my phone to the toilet with me so no pictures…no way was I going to risk going back in. Due to this, unfortunately I’ve had to rate this low which I hate to do! I hope to revisit in the summer to see if things have improved by then. All places that serve food need to have regular toilet checks to ensure this does not happen. If I had gone toilet before eating I would have headed upstairs for a refund as it was stomach churning. I eat Pret in various locations and have never seen anything like this!
Nicola Mckenzie - a year ago

Great location and ample space inside. We are visiting it on regular basis. The staff and service is constantly on a good level. They are open on Sunday which is quite unusual for Pret’s, and which is quite handy for us. Great food and quality. Definitely give it a go!
