Hispania London is a Spanish restaurant and bar on Lombard Street in the City of London. It opened in 2013 and occupies approximately nine thousand square feet within the ground floor of the historic Lloyds Bank building opposite Bank station.
Gastronomic director Marcos Morán has shaped a menu that celebrates Spanish produce and regional cooking. Morán represents the fifth generation of the family behind Casa Gerardo in Asturias, bringing that restaurant’s culinary heritage to Hispania’s London kitchen.
The selection includes tapas and Spanish classics such as ham croquettes, fabada bean stew, salmorejo and black rice with cuttlefish and prawns. Paella, jamón and other traditional products also feature in tastings and dining experiences across the restaurant.
Spanish wines are an important part of the offering, with bottles from Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Galicia and La Mancha alongside a notable collection of sherry. The main dining room, sherry bar, Spanish shop and library create several distinct spaces for meals, drinks and private events.
Address: 72–74 Lombard Street, London EC3V 9AY, United Kingdom
