Eat

The Wigmore, attached directly to The Langham, is a modern British tavern inspired by London’s great Victorian pubs but designed with unmistakable wit and polish. Overseen by Michel Roux Jr and the Langham’s kitchen team, The Wigmore offers a punchy, ingredient-led menu that champions indulgent reinterpretations of pub classics. Expect the highest quality, from masala-spiced Scotch eggs to the cult XXL three-cheese and mustard toastie—crispy, golden, and frequently cited as London’s finest. Sunday roasts and hearty pies are regular signatures, while the drinks list brims with cask ales, creative cocktails, and localized craft beers—including their own house Saison. Service is informal but sharp, with staff knowledgeable and ready to make recommendations. With a lively but grown-up buzz, The Wigmore’s interior brims with emerald tiles, deep green walls, and gleaming brass worktops—creating a setting both nostalgic and smart.

Sleep

The Langham’s rooms and suites are generously proportioned and elegantly updated, blending classic architectural grandeur with contemporary English comfort. Guests can expect deep carpets, generously sized beds dressed in luxurious linens, marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, modern touches like smart TVs, and a quietly enveloping calm that belies the city outside. Suites provide extra space and often club lounge access for added comfort. There’s a sense of sanctuary within these walls that appeals to anyone after a restorative retreat—whether relaxing after a day of eating, museum-hopping, or shopping in the West End.
