Nando's

Nando's Glasshouse Street keeps the signature elements of the peri-peri chicken chain, with a slightly more polished feel that suits its central London setting. The interior mixes modern design with hints of African art, a nod to Nando's South African origins, and there are murals throughout.

The menu is the main event. Flame-grilled peri-peri chicken, marinated in spices, is still the star, backed up by a choice of sides, salads and desserts. It's a short walk from several of London's main attractions, so it works for a break from shopping or a meal after the theatre, for locals and visitors alike.
