The Lampery is a modern British restaurant inside the Apex City of London Hotel at 1 Seething Lane. Open to the public as well as hotel guests, it sits close to Tower Hill and the Tower of London and combines an expressive dining room with a dedicated bar.
Seasonal British produce guides the cooking, with classic ideas reworked through contemporary technique. A current menu includes watermelon with feta, pickled mackerel with rainbow beet, and the signature Lampery Pye inspired by a dish associated with diarist Samuel Pepys.
Breakfast begins early each day, followed by lunch and dinner throughout the week. Weekend brunch adds cooked and sweet choices with optional bottomless prosecco or selected cocktails, while Sunday roast provides a more traditional reason to settle in for a longer meal.
The bar serves crafted cocktails, wine and light bites independently of the full restaurant experience. Private dining and event spaces, dietary options and a location in the Square Mile make The Lampery useful for business meals, sightseeing breaks and relaxed evening occasions.
Address: Apex City of London Hotel, 1 Seething Lane, London EC3N 4AX, England
