Love Champagne Charlie's...Great location between Embankment and Charring Cross. Can always get a table even on busy nights or weekend. Great relaxed atmosphere and variety of drinks. Can't comment on food as never eaten there but it looked lovely at Christmas with all the decorations-A real gem❤️❤️❤️❤️

We had our family Christmas dinner here and were looked after by 2 lovely staff who were very friendly, welcoming and polite. The food was good, Turkey was lovely, not dry at all like some that you get from other restaurants. The Christmas menu option overall is great and there is something for everyone. We had a room sectioned to our group which just adds a special touch, very cosy and beautiful. Love the interior. This was actually the second/third visit from some of us and our return was due to good service that comes with good food and drinks. So I highly recommend. Thank you.

Love this place. Tucked away just near Charing Cross, great selection of wine and small plates in the drinks area, definitely worth booking a table at busy times.

Lovely place to spend a night. I visited for a company dinner and we all had a great time. Definitely a great variety of wines. The food was nice and well prepared but nothing exciting. Their strong point is definitely the drinks department. The premises are really interesting. Really nice atmosphere. Will need to go back with less people to have a better experience of the service.

What a stunning place, a cellar bar located in "The Arches" beneath Charring Cross Station. Blighted by the Covid episode with a distinct lack of visitors an the office crowd. Nevertheless, a brilliant welcome and a most appreciated pint of beer. The place is something of a labyrinth with brilliant "Crooks and Nannies" everywhere. If you want a place for a meeting, you can book private office space, fantastic! An amazing place, do not miss out!
