London Restaurants - Westminster, Strand, Victoria

In an area of town more usually associated with after-office binge drinkers and faux American burger joints, the arrival of a new, cheerful Bistro offering great comfort food to the weary masses can only be a good thing.

This new gastropub comes from the owners of previously lauded gastropubs The Thomas Cubitt and The Pantechnicon. This is their first pub with rooms in Pimlico. There's a wood-fired oven for pizzas and roasts and 4 en-suite bedrooms.

Popular wine bar Terroirs expands into its basement with larger tables and set meal times to create a more traditional restaurant.

With London being the strongest it's ever been for high-end Indian restaurants, the Quilon has been one of the longest serving in the city - and its kept its Micheli star too. It's also the sister restaurant of Bombay Brasserie. Expect south west coastal Indian cuisine with a high-end feel.
