Susie's Guidebook for London
Food Scene
One of the best steaks in London. Amazing bar downstairs too serving innovative cocktails as well as the old favourites. Fun and friendly staff. Great for vegetarians too. If you're here for just one night and are looking for a decent meal, I cannot recommend this place enough. Great value lunch and dinner set menus if you go at certain times.
