My wife and daughter had lunch yesterday and really enjoyed themselves. The food was excellent especially the lobster and Gruyère croquettes which our daughter thought were out of this world. They had a really good table and wonderful service.

I once did a fashion show in this space and at the after show party Kanye West arrived and during American Boy being played by the DJ he jumped on a table and rapped along.

St. John’s was above and beyond what we expected! We are not from London and this felt like the most authentic cuisine possible at a very good price. Outstanding overall!

One of the first restaurants I used to go to regularly when I first moved to London. I love the Dickensian feel, it feels like old London!

Given the constant change in the menu it’s always an excellent choice to choose from whatever is offered. Thoroughly recommend - given I’m lucky to visit a number of Michelin Star restaurants Andrew Edmunds is up there Try to book upstairs- if just for two the window !
