goringnew
Westminster, Strand, Victoria

Beeston Place, London SW1W 0JW

The Goring has been a London institution for over 100 years. It's around the corner from Buckingham Palace and the Queen had been known to pop in from time to time, and if you're lucky you might still see a royal or two. Here you'll find high-end Michelin-starred dining. Don't miss out on the eggs drumkilbo - they were a favourite of the Queen Mother.

Wiltons
Mayfair, Belgravia

55 Jermyn Street, London, SW1Y 6LX

The great fact to bandy about Wiltons is that it’s older than the United States of America (the restaurant first opened 280 years ago). Looking good for its age, this is a place to perch up at the counter for oysters or find a booth at the back for luxe but traditional treats like Lobster Thermidor or an epic mixed grill.

Rules
Soho, Fitzrovia, Covent Garden

35 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7LB

One of London's oldest restaurants, there has been a Rules serving food in and around this part of Covent Garden since 1798. Here is where you come if you're after history and classic British dishes, served well. The upstairs cocktail bar is legendary.

St Pancras Grand
North London

St Pancras Grand, St Pancras International, London, NW1 9QP

With the helping hand of Fay Maschler in the menu department, Searcy's have turned this flagship project into a British destination restaurant to thrill French tourists as they disembark at St Pancras as well as enticing somewhat reticent Londoners into dining at their own railway stations.
