Monocle Guide Maps Late-Night Dining Near London's Theatres and Museums

A travel guide by Monocle points out the scarcity of dining options after performances at London's cultural hotspots, suggesting restaurants that serve late. Close to The Barbican, St John (26 St John Street, EC1M 4AY) is open until 22:30, while Bouchon Racine (66 Cowcross Street, EC1M 6BP) provides late meals above a historic pub. Near the National Theatre (SE1 9PX), Lasdun offers seasonal fare, and Poon's (Lancaster Place, WC2R 1LA) serves siu yeh post 21:00. Tate Modern's vicinity features Kolae (6 Park Street, SE1 9AB) and Agora (2 Bedale Street, SE1 9AL) for late dining. Da Mario (15 Gloucester Road, SW7 4PP) and Sol's (25 Leinster Terrace, W2 3ET) near the Royal Albert Hall serve until 23:30 and 23:00, respectively. Martino's (37 Sloane Square, SW1W 8AN) near the Royal Court takes orders until 22:30, and At Sloane (1 Sloane Gardens, SW1W 8EA) is open until midnight. In Covent Garden, Speedboat Bar (30 Rupert Street, W1D 6DL) serves until 22:45, and Romano's (100 Strand, WC2R 0EZ) features an 'After the Applause' menu starting at 21:45. The guide advocates for post-theatre dining as a refined alternative.
