1901 Restaurant and Bar at Andaz Liverpool Street, in the heart of the City of London, will delight your taste buds without stuffy service - but with all the lavish trimmings. It is modern fine dining that provides, to quote a guest, "unpretentious luxury for when you are feeling decadent". So, unwind in one of the capital's most magnificent dining venues and soak up some splendour. Bask in a dramatic grade II-listed interior of grand proportions, featuring a huge stained glass, domed atrium, while a cheese & wine tasting table, dominating one end, is a nod to an interactive modern approach. Seating 86 in well-spaced, luxurious comfort, 1901 is ideal for those looking for a new experience.

Blending East London edginess and a chic city vibe, 3 South Place showcases British comfort food with a luxurious twist.

A stunning 7th-floor restaurant perched atop the exclusive South Place Hotel, Angler offers a quintessentially British menu, specialising in seafood and shellfish sourced from across the British Isles.
