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

The experience was good overall, although we had a problem with the room that was resolved quickly by the staff. breakfast was varied and good quality, even dinner was good. the location is excellent: metro just around the corner, bus and tourist buses less than 100 meters away. the staff is the real jewel in the crown, that makes the difference. do not give 10 points as score only because as a 4 star hotel I expect attention to some Details ; little things that should be changed to make it really top.

Great and friendly customer service. We arrived early and they kindly checked our bags in so we went exploring. Rooms were comfy and clean. Great location. Metro station around the corner for further attractions but many things just a close walk away. Restaurant breakfast was great but many options close by. My family recommends this hotel.

Usually we stay on the other side of the river. So location was a big draw card for this hotel. Checkin was fast and friendly. We booked a Suite Queen bed. It was ok. Our room was directly under the gym. Every morning and afternoon it is very noisy. There is no room at all to place your toiletries and half of the bathroom is in your sleeping/ living space. We are not sure what it was, however the fowl smell as we entered the room every day was so bad. Lucky you are able to open the windows. There is no nightly turn down service or replacement of water. You would think for the price you pay it would be included. The daily housekeeping was bare minimum. Breakfast was included. If you like a buffet then this is your place. Very busy. I have 3 main expectations when staying at any hotel. Value for money Location Friendly staff. I do not feel this Novotel represents value for money. Location is great and staff are friendly. With so much choice do you homework.

The location of this hotel was absolutely perfect for our trip to Wimbledon. It has nearby car parks or the tube station nearby. Lots of bars, pubs and restaurants surrounding it too. Great area to be in. The staff were efficient and helpful, the rooms clean and large. We ate in the hotel one night too and the food was really good. A nice vibe to the bar/food area as well.

The hotel is located minutes from a tube stop - very convenient - and the staff are excellent. One reception staff, Jenna, was just brilliant - so helpful and cheery! Also, the rooms are nice and bright. We did have one issue. The shower did not drain properly. Moreover, the lip is rather low, the door did not close completely and the door hinges have holes that leak. In short water spills out. Mopping up after the first shower late at night after a long international flight was a pain. On following days, we ordered extra towels and backstopped the shower. All’s well that ends well.

Food was nice, ribs were lovely pulled pork was average but not big portions. Atmosphere and looks was cool. Service was ok, asked one person about the two cocktails for a certain price and she never came back to check on us. Only time we got asked anything after the food was served was did we want another drink

Great meal in Bodeans Friday lunchtime. We know it gets busy so got there for opening. We were five minutes early but they let us in which was really nice of them. My colleague and I had the platter for two to share at £20 which had chicken thighs, ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork, fries and short rib. It was delicious. Couldn’t fault the food at all. Very tasty and plenty of sauces on hand. I liked the burnt ends the most. They served us promptly so managed to get out and back in an hour which is fantastic for a sit down meal in the city. Pound for pound you can get better portions of similar food elsewhere in London but this area is expensive so is fair. Have been before and will go again.

Love this place. Great location and always welcoming. Portions are very filling and the peach cobbler is the perfect way to top off a hot meal. Their nachos are spectacular. Nadia was our hostess and was terrific. Highly recommend!!!
Greg Crane - 3 months ago

The food was satisfying overall, with the baby back ribs standing out as particularly delicious. While the burger was tasty, it didn't quite reach the level of exceptional and something to write home about . Service was top-notch, although the atmosphere at this branch of Bodean’s wasn’t up their with the Soho branch. However, still good value for money. Plus point. They have some fairly good vegan options.

Local AC Milán Pub. Good environment, good drinks, bad food. Highly recommend against the nachos, burger is decent.

I recently visited Windsor Fenchurch and was thoroughly impressed. The customer service was exceptional, specially from Bridgitte who welcome me and offered an enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was amazing, adding to the overall vibe. And let's not forget the food – it was delicious. I highly recommend this place for a fantastic all-around experience.

Good pub, karaoke on Friday night. Female staff (2) weren't the friendliest on both occasions upon visiting. Male staff were up for a laugh when serving. Worth a visit. Cheer up girls.

Nice bar, especially if you want to watch sport on the numerous screens. Bar staff very friendly and attend to tables, keeping clean. Toilets very good too. When we were there, bar was populated just right, enough for atmosphere, but not rammed packed. It's a yes from me.

Lovely atmosphere, accommodating, polite and very helpful personal. Our waiter kindly explained how the menu ordering slip worked, removed any food allergy related dishes from the menu and respectfully answered any questions we asked about the food and drinks. He also checked up on us and the food during our meal. The food was deliciously fresh and tasty. Perfectly suitable for 3 people sharing several dishes, if you would like to try several things. What the Honey glazed spare ribs and Shanghai chicken noodles lacked in taste the spicy dumpling sauce certainly made up for in spiciness. The Crispy duck spring rolls, Black Pawn and Chicken & cashew nut dumplings were perfect and so were the drinks. Slightly on the pricey side considering the about of food. But they have great deals to be aware of.

This was our first time and we needed some explanation on how the menu works. The waitress was helpful and explained everything but after we ordered I don’t know what happened- our salad, rolls, edamame, ribs came after dim sum. It came out to be very pricey for 3 people - the portions are extremely small. So if you can go back on Sunday - they have a better deal. For us it was one time deal because we were just visiting.

We had the afternoon tea. It was really nice. It's not very filling. Maybe it needs a few more carbs, but what we had was tasty. The bao ice cream was a fun idea. It worked well with a group of friends.
Chidi Chuk. - 2 weeks ago

The price is not adequate to the quality and portion of the food. The menu is a huge problem, and there is a lot of confusion during choosing food. This causes us a big irritation. The menu definitely needs to be changed.
Dawid Dobosz - 4 months ago

Best Dim Sum in London!!! The flavors are rich and satisfying. You get to try so many different ones, as they are 3pieces each, and not expensive at all. We had maybe 9 different types, and enjoyed them all. Also, the jasmine lilly tea is really good: Watching your jasmine bloom in your teapot is a thing of beauty. I hear it's half off if you go before 5 pm, but I don't know how true it is. The service was good: we walked in on a Friday evening without a reservation and were promptly seated. The host offered to store my small suitcase, which was really sweet. Within 10 minutes of sitting down, we began receiving our food and drinks. I think the idea of marking your order on the menu was really cute. I enjoyed the experience. The location is great, offering nice views and allowing you to people watch. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and vibrant. I definitely will bring my friends back here.

Had a quick visit to Seething Lane Tap on a surprisingly quiet Friday evening. Didn't get a chance to sample the food, but the Siren Craft Beer I had was an absolute delight. It hit the spot perfectly. The atmosphere was relaxed despite the lack of crowds, and the food being served looked very tempting. Definitely planning a return trip to try out their menu!

We came here with a colleague after a busy day at work for a meal and a pint of beer. We didn't know what to choose, so we asked a bartender Marcos to help us out, he offered us a buffalo wings with a pint of "Lost lager" which absolutely made our day. Marcos was extremely polite and very helpful , service was brilliant and food is amazing!
Audrius - a week ago

I was travelling in London and I found this hidden gem. Amazing burgers. Staff was very nice. I was looking for a place to see around tower hill, so Marcos gave us a little guide on where should we go next. Amazing!

I came here last night and had the best service. Jade was amazing, she even went out of her way to make me feel safe as well as recommended a great shot. Thank you!

Absolutely thrilled with my visit this past Friday! Despite the pub being incredibly busy, the experience was top-notch, thanks to one exceptional staff member. The girl in glasses was not only extremely helpful but also incredibly nice and patient. When I asked for beer recommendations, she thoughtfully guided me through their impressive selection. I ended up trying all her suggestions, and I have to say, the Lemongrass Lager was the standout favorite. Her knowledge and friendly demeanor made a busy night feel personal and enjoyable. Five stars all the way—can't wait to return!

I had a great experience at this branch. The service was really friendly and quick. I ordered several dishes including the chili squid, ebi katsu, steak teriyaki soba, and the chicken & prawn pad Thai, and they were all delicious. They serve a number of drinks here. I especially enjoyed the mindful iced matcha and the strawberry latte, and appreciated that they served green tea for free.

Had a great experience dining here. We were greeted by a young lady shame I did not get her name, and we requested to sit by the window as it was not busy when we came. She immediately reset the table as it was used previously. The waiter named Rayhan patiently took our order because there is a lot of good selection on the menu. I was actually surprise that it is not only Japanese food but also Thai as I tried their Pad Thai with chicken and prawn. It's delicious and just the right amount. The waiter approached us again and asked if everything was fine and if we were enjoying our food. We said yes, and he smiled and left us to enjoy our meal. There is no rush on clearing the plate when we finished, and he came back to ask if we are. We been asked if we would like to have some dessert, but because I am already full, I politely said no, but I was really tempted to order a nice cheesecake. I highly recommend it as it is an easy place to go by when we are visiting Tower Bridge.

Lovely restaurant with a good offer of Japanese cuisine, good portions, I recommend the chili squid so tasty, similar to “calamari fritti” for Italians. I would have preferred a single table rather than share a long table as it was very noisy and loud.
Lorena Maccioni - 2 months ago

I'm obsessed with Wagamama! It's one of my favourite takeaway options in the area. I love the care they take with the packaging and the quality of the food, even for takeaway. Usually, standards drop with takeaway, but that's not the case here. They have tons of vegan options, which is always a plus for me. The Crispy Chilli Oyster Mushrooms as a side are superb. I highly recommend them. They're crispy and delicious. The Yasai Vegetable Gyoza are also nice, but average. A portion comes with 5 gyoza, which is a good deal. The Tofu Hot Pot was a good-sized portion and super tasty. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu, especially the Mushroom Bao Buns!

What an evening! It was so fantastic that I ended up here twice in one week! As you descend the stairs into the dark, red-lit venue, you can feel on your skin that this place is something special. It's a place where you can indulge in what daylight forbids, giving space to your deepest fantasies. I felt like I was at Fangtasia from the TV series True Blood. A big shoutout to all the performers. The singer's incredible voice gives you goosebumps, and the fire artist and dancers are exceptionally talented. Although the set menu is not very filling, with portions being quite small and light, the overall experience is a must-try if you're in the area. My friends and I had the best time. Also, thanks to our waiter (Mark, if I remember correctly), who was really friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

This is a hard one as the show itself was amazing but the organisation, prices and food were not. The host and performers were top notch and performed brilliant acts - the host really knew how to work the audience 👏 There were regular intervals and a good gap inbetween each course of food. Just be aware you may have to flag the servers down as it's quite dark and they are busy. Now onto my moaning. We booked the VIP 3 course dinner (£150 per persom FYI) for a birthday and received an email asking us to complete a mandatory pre-order form. Fine, not a problem. Opened the link in the email to pre-order. Took me to a 2 course spring menu with dessert and sides at an extra cost... Having read that the pre-order was mandatory, I emailed them to ask if they could send the link to the VIP 3 course meal pre-order page. I got nothing back but maybe I'd left it too late. I figured we would sort it at the place. Arrived at the venue and was seated at the front (VIP included up front tables) but the chairs were set up so one person at the table for 2 had their back to the stage... there were a few tables like that. Odd considering you're there to watch the show, not stare at the audience. The server asked if we had pre-ordered and I explained why we hadn't. He then gave us the 5 course menu and told us what 3 options we could have... which was basically a meat option (ironically with a vegetarian starter) or a vegetarian selection. We chose meat and had no other choice in what food we got served. Fine, it's basically a set menu, I can handle that. I asked about the bubbles we were supposed to have upon arrival (part of the VIP package along with half a bottle of wine). To be fair, the server said he'd give us the full bottle of wine instead of half as he couldn't give us bubbles... I didnt question as to why not because I like wine. The food came out and the starter was pretty good (chopped tomatoes with some torn mozarella and dressing, basic but tasty). It built up my expectations for the main course. As it was sold as VIP, I had high (maybe too high?) expectations. The main dish came and it was a small dry chicken skewer on a bed of rice, some yoghurt (luckily this helped with the dry chicken) and half a pitta.... suffice to say, I was pretty hungry after and not impressed! Thank god there was dessert.... a gooey chocolate bomb. We ordered one extra bottle of wine and 3 bottles of still water... with service charge it was over £120. I'm all for a service charge and I like to tip regularly but for there to be a manadwtory cover charge when you have to have table service... so surely that's part of the job in general? It's not an extra cover because you fancy chilling at your table... you cannot physically go to the bar... The service wasn't actually anything special - bog standard. Actually, I'd say it was sub-par. You had to constantly flag down the server if you needed anything. There was no "how is your meal?" or "can I get you anything else?" etc. So a mandatory service charge felt out of line considering the service wasn't anything to write home about. The wine itself wasn't anything special (you got a choice of white or red, no actual wine choice). Let's say it was no Sancerre but it went down... even if it was extortionately priced. I was juggling between here and The London Cabaret Club - I feel I made an error in judgement booking this one. However we really enjoyed the acts and performers, they were absolutely fantastic and cannot fault them one bit. All the periphery things around the show however... it needs a LOT of improvement to boast being the best cabaret club serving VIP packages... if that's VIP, god knows what the standard tickets got you!!

It didn’t compare to the last venue! Huge let down.. We have been to proud on a few occasions now, this was the first time since changing venues, we could not fault the other venue, always had the best time, the acts were incredible and went on all night followed by an after party, the food was lovely and plenty of room which made it lovely for you to have dinner and enjoy the show the atmosphere was unreal with such a huge stage and a wide variety of jaw dropping performance's this is why we were excited to be back again to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary.. However, unfortunately we were left really disappointed as the venue change seemed to have a huge impact on everything else, firstly when we arrived our table was given to someone else and we were moved, we had to then ask to be moved again as they put us to the back because they gave our table to the couple infront of us, we felt like so many people had been rammed into tiny tables in a nightclub the waiters couldn’t get passed without knocking your or something off the table, same for the persons next to us apologising all night, you can hear the people’s conversations right next to you, the 5 course meal wasn't great the chicken skewers were lovely but did not enjoy the rest, the bread was so dry, no butter came out with it and portions were smaller than previously. The performances were yet again amazing but very small space only a couple of feet infront of you, unfortunately it didn’t seem to last as long and there didn’t seem to be anywhere near as much as previously.. we were told Charlotte would look after us and do something special for us but this did not happen either, Alex and the staff have always been fantastic but this wasn’t a pleasant experience this time round, very very overpriced so just bare than in mind we couldn’t believe how much extra we paid on the night and didn’t order loads of drinks either. We are absolutely gutted and unfortunately won’t be returning anymore, it’s a huge shame but wish Alex and the staff the very best.

Their steak pie was the BEST thing I've eaten on my trip to London. The restaurant is quite large and every single table had a great ambience. On less busy days, you can pick a table to sit at and order at the bar. I still dream about this pie. Crutched Friar will be the first place I visit when I return to London

Came here tonight because of the traditional dishes and so glad we did! The food was delicious and service was friendly :) I especially appreciated the vegan/vegetarian options and separate menu!

Nice local pub. The steak and venison pie is a must have and worth seeking this place out. Great selection of cask ales. Not far from the Tower of London on a very quiet street

Such a great pub! If you are looking for an authentic pub, come here! The atmosphere is quiet and friendly, the staff was helpful and nice, the food was delicious, and the drinks were great! It is what you would expect from a pub, a place to have a drink and visit with friends! The music is not loud. I hate bars where you have to scream to be heard. Thank you, Crutched Friar!

Haven’t been in Zizzi’s in a while and it was good to see some new items on the menu. I definitely recommend the truffle pizza. Great attentive service also. Can’t wait to be back to try the other dishes

Food is cooked well and as expected. I ordered the sea bass and it was very oily and greasy not as expected. Service during lunch could be improved, not enough staff for the rush especially when most of the people dining at that time want a quick turnaround.

The service was exceptional; we were there to celebrate our wedding, and they kindly presented us with a complimentary bottle of champagne. The staff was courteous and displayed utmost professionalism.

Good food the honey chilli sauce for my chicken skewer was tasty. However, chicken could have done with a bit more seasoning. Service charge is included in the bill. Four of us had a main and a drink worked out to just over £20 per head.

VISIT DATE: 01/06/2024 VISIT TIME: 18:00 - 20:30 Visited this branch of Zizzi as a get together of colleagues from my work Christian staff network. There were 9 of us in total and the restaurant was easily able to accommodate us as it had ample seating. The food is standard for Zizzi - pizza, pasta and other options, all very nicely prepared, but portion sizes are not generous and I find their pizza and pasta fairly bland, so I went for the pork belly with hot honey glaze, starved with potatoes and green beans, which was really nice, but I could definitely have done with more potatoes! For dessert I enjoyed the caramel cheesecake and I also had a passion fruit mocktail, which was nice. Plus points: Service was prompt and staff were attentive. Large number of tables so can accommodate large groups. Kids options available. Accessible entry and accessible toilet, with baby change. Negatives: Accoustics not great so was hard to hear people clearly at times. Regular toilets down a reasonable number of stairs and, due to lighting choices, looked kinda dingey.
