It has a “very attractive site” – a landmark 1920s car showroom on King’s Road Chelsea, with a “trendy vibe” – but is perennially “let down by a tired menu which is not well executed” and mediocre service. Why D&D London have never sorted this place out is a bit of a mystery – it could be so good.

This stylish conversion of a landmark 1920s Chelsea car showroom from the D&D London stable certainly looks the part, but it continues to generate amazingly little feedback in our annual diners’ poll beyond the occasional complaint along the lines of: “service was appalling and the food not much better”.

Given the size and prominence of this huge D&D London landmark on Chelsea’s main drag – the conversion of a beautiful 1920s car showroom – it’s astounding how little feedback it inspires. Such as we have is all positive this year, though.

This smart D&D London conversion of a Modernist 1920s car showroom on a prominent King’s Road site leaves reporters impressed by the venue if rather underwhelmed by the cuisine – “beautiful restaurant and nice service, they just need to up their game food-wise”. Situation normal, then, at this large space, which has never really capitalised fully on its potential.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
