Two sides of St James's Park station
St James's Park station sits between Westminster's offices and the Palace end of Victoria, and its set menus follow the same line. Towards Parliament, lunch is the event. Towards Buckingham Palace Road, the early evening takes over, with menus built around a curtain time.
On the Westminster side, Osteria Dell'Angolo runs a weekday set lunch with grilled sea bream and snow peas or capocollo with roast potatoes among recent dishes. The Cinnamon Club fills a former public library on Great Smith Street, a fantastic setting for an anniversary year, and the 25th birthday is reason enough to sit down early before a show or late after one.
Closer to Victoria, Bill's Victoria keeps lunch going until 4pm on weekdays, with a covered terrace beside the main restaurant and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices on the menu. For more nearby, see all set menus near St James's Park.
Pre-theatre opposite the Royal Mews
Buckingham Palace Road gathers its own cluster of early evening menus, each with a different idea of what comes before a show. At bbar, it is fried chicken tenders and fish and chips under a wall of plants. At The Cavalry Bar, it is a red, horse-themed bar where cocktails are made in front of you and live music plays.
Across the hotel, The English Grill brings a champagne trolley to the table and counts Beef Wellington as its signature dish. The Independent's review praised steak "seared to rose-pink perfection" in a dining room it called a destination.
Some of London's best-known theatres are a short stroll from Buckingham Palace Road. Our guide to pre-theatre set menus in London covers the West End, and every set menu guide sits in one place.
