The Wolseley occupies a former car showroom turned banking hall turned all-day brasserie, and its soaring, ornate interior is a big part of why it's remained a fixture for both Londoners and visitors across every meal of the day. Reviewers mention it as a fitting way to close out a trip, praising both the decor and consistently excellent service, and it's popular for special meals like anniversary dinners. At 4.4 stars, expensive pricing, and nearly 8,000 reviews, it's a dependable choice whether for a proper breakfast, a business lunch, or an elegant dinner.

What people say

"A perfect way to end our last day in London! This restaurant really hit the spot. The décor is beautiful, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The portion sizes were good and reasonably priced, especially considering the central location and overall dining experience. The French toast and croissant were particularly delicious, and even the vegetarian option was full of flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting London."
