Hawksmoor Guildhall is a steak and seafood restaurant in the heart of the City of London, close to Bank and Moorgate. Its location places it near the historic site of Dolly’s Chop House, often described as an early London steakhouse, giving this branch a fitting connection to centuries of City dining.
The kitchen follows Hawksmoor’s focus on carefully sourced British beef, seafood and confident cooking over charcoal. Large cuts encourage sharing, while thoughtful sides, sauces and a knowledgeable approach to wine allow diners to shape the meal around the table and the occasion.
Weekdays bring a lively business crowd, but the restaurant also has a broader rhythm beyond City lunches and dinners. Sundays have become a destination for groups of friends and families, with the traditional roast receiving the same attention to beef, generous trimmings and comfort as the steak service.
A private dining room inspired by the historic Sublime Society of Beefsteaks gives smaller groups a characterful place for celebrations and business events. Combined with the main dining room and bar, it makes Guildhall a versatile branch that can host anything from an informal meal to a carefully planned gathering.
Address: 10 Basinghall Street, City of London, London EC2V 5BQ, United Kingdom
