Hidden inside Canopy by Hilton Hotel, has a very inviting and nice atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and with attention to detail - funny surprise to the kid. Pasta and pizzas were amazingly fresh. It was a fabulous experience provided by one of the cheapest meals we had while in vacations in London.

Came for an Xmas do, food was fabulous and great quality, attentive service and good atmosphere. My only suggestion is to remove the low hanging lights, 3 of our party hit their heads on them getting up from the table. Would definitely come back.
