My friend and I had a marvellous dinner at the New London. Steak Tartare was to die for and a sharing Chateaubriand was tender and accompanied with delicious sides, especially the chilli spiked spring greens. Service was exemplary, drinks good and the prices extremely reasonable.

Party of 7 for a birthday. Service was amazing, friendly staff. Food was delicious, dough balls to die for! We had a variety of meals including carbonara, seafood linguine, lasagne, pizza and aubergine pasta and all were gorgeous. Plenty of it all as well! Will definitely be back!
