North Sea Fish Restaurant is an independent family run restaurant that has served Bloomsbury since 1977. Its Leigh Street dining room is within walking distance of Russell Square, King’s Cross, Euston and the British Museum.

Fresh fish is delivered daily from Billingsgate Market and cooked to order. The restaurant is best known for traditional fish and chips, with cod and haddock served in crisp batter alongside chips and familiar accompaniments.

The wider selection includes grilled and fried seafood, whole fish, smoked salmon, prawns and calamari. Traditional British favourites and vegetarian dishes provide alternatives for guests who do not want one of the main fish preparations.

Customers can eat in the eighty seat dining room, order takeaway or arrange delivery through supported services. Walk in guests are welcome when space permits, while reservations are recommended for weekends and larger groups.

Address: 7–8 Leigh Street, Bloomsbury, London WC1H 9EW, United Kingdom
