The signature restaurant of the impressive new five-star "super boutique" hotel right in the heart of central London – off Leicester Square – which also features two Odeon Luxe cinemas and a whisky club. Opened in September 2021 serving an all-day European menu; see also Joshua's Tavern (a pub) and 8 at The Londoner (rooftop izakaya with fire pits).

Summary
This 300-room landmark hotel – from the Edwardian Group – just off Leicester Square had been set to open in 2020 as the pandemic hit, and finally launched in September 2021. As well as incorporating two Odeon luxe cinemas and a rooftop bar with fire pits, it offers six concept eateries, bars and a tavern. The main event is Whitcomb’s, an all-day bar/brasserie. Other possibilities include The Stage (for breakfast, tea and caviar, with Champagne a-go-go); and 8 at The Londoner (on the rooftop, serving Japanese dishes and cocktails).
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).

Whitcomb's at The Londoner Restaurant Diner Reviews
"A polished venue with a reliable menu, especially good with the pre theatre offer. Wines can be a bit pricey, but they do do carafes as a compromise. The slick surroundings make this a handy central stable when trying to coordinate a group from across London. "
