Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

we were staying in the hotel so booked for dinner in the restaurant online prior to arrival. The menu looked really good. The food was very good but the service was a little slow. Unusual situation bearing in mind there was only one other table...occupied.More

We were upstairs to the right as you enter the restaurant and had a nice booth. The lunch menu was very limited and so, at 2.15pm, we asked for something from the dinner menu but were told that they only start serving it at 3.00pm,...so 45 minutes early. Sounds a bit like the MacDonald's breakfast cut-off at 11am, and expected better. Service, food, value, etc was all okay, but no betterMore

The Londinium is good for a quiet night. The restaurant is in the basement so there is no natural light or people watching to be had. Given that it is tucked away it is often quiet but very close to London Bridge station so great...for meeting with people. In addition they are on the tastecard so you have the opportunity to get 50% off your food bill. I found the food very satisfying. However they would score average on customer service. It felt as tough everyone who served us was pretty new. In summary good for a quiet night out with good transport links. Don't expect ambiance or stellar service.More

My partner arranged a Christmas party for the company he works with and it was lovely. The private dining rooms are perfect for these types of events. It was tastefully decorated with festive decor (natural decorations, not plastic) and they had a music station there...so you could play your own music (we opted for cheesy Rat Pack Xmas Music). The service was highly attentive. At all times did we have at least 2 member of staff in our room, being friendly and professional throughout. The food was alright. It wasn't the best I've eaten or nothing I'd gush about. It was okay Christmas dinner food. Not bad, but not great either. However I would still recommend it for private Christmas dinners due to its atmosphere and good service.More

I decided to book this restaurant for an early Valentines celebration with my partner because they're in a nice location and accept tastecard but, above all, because the menu shown on the website was mouthwatering with a lot of different options. When we arrived, it...was almost empty, only two other people -then the total raised to a maximum of 7, including my partner and me. Apart from this and not having a warm atmosphere whatsoever, we were given the menu that was very very very disappointing: completely different from what they have on the website, only half of those options and higher prices. I was told by a member of the staff that the menu on the website is just a "sample". Well, I found it ridiculous and was ready to leave but my partner convinced me to stay. We had three courses each, food was ok but absolutely nothing special, starters portions very very small, and we left still quite hungry. Luckily, at least, we got 50% off because of the tastecard but wouldn't return anyway. One last thing: staff were ok, the lady who took us to the table and got our order was professional, the other two waiters were not that professional but friendly.More

Just thought we would add another review to reiterate what we said 4mths ago. Same scenario as last time, in the area and wanted some food, so thought we would go back and see if Debbie was there. Luckily for us she was and she...remembered us too :) So we had another lovely meal, in a pleasant environment, served by the charming and ebullient Debbie. We'll be back again and hope our luck holds out then too.More

There is a full buffet but I do not like to eat food that has been in chafing dishes. I ordered an omelette and the service was slow.

My wife and I popped in here one Tuesday night (around 19:00) primarily as it was near to London Bridge station and also as it takes Tastecard, plus the reviews were ok. I called ahead to make sure they had a table. The restaurant is...in the basement of the London Bridge Hotel and is used by the residents of the hotel, but is also open to the general public. The décor is nice and the lady who was at the front of house was friendly and welcoming. There were a few people in there eating and as it turned out they were all residents, who left shortly after leaving the two of us on our own for most of the rest of the meal. Debbie showed us to a table of our choice, she was personable and chatty but professional. Throughout the rest of the meal she was attentive and helpful whilst also it seems coordinating the Hotel's room service. We had Chicken soup and piri piri chicken salad for starters, for mains we had Plaice and chips and Lamb shank. They were all well presented and tasty, delivered in a timely fashion and accompanied by well chilled drinks. To sum up, the food was good as were the drinks, the restaurant was not buzzing but then that suited us fine. Debbie made the meal better than good though, so thank you to her for being great fun and making our experience all the better.More

I went to the Londinium (part of the London Bridge Hotel) for dinner with my wife. The menu has a fairly decent selection. I had Monkfish and wife had a Sirloin steak. Both dishes were excellent. We then shared a cheese board which was ok...but nothing special. The service staff were very nice and professional so they deserved a bit of recognition. Price is on the expensive side unless you have a Tastecard, which will get you 50% off the food bill. So it's reasonably good value if you do have one!More

We chose Londinium for an early evening meal, prior to going over the river for the Ceremony of the Keys at The Tower. We were also able to use our Tastecard, which made it very good value. The restaurant is in The London Bridge Hotel,...100 metres from the stunning Shard, right next to the very busy London Bridge Station. Outside all is bustle, inside all is tranquil. The restaurant is below ground and is very quiet. Like most hotel restaurants it appears to be not as well used as it deserves. The welcome and service here are delightful. The food is relatively simple, but very well cooked and tasty. If you are around this part of London ( The Globe, Borough Market, Tate Modern), and you want a wholesome and relaxing meal, this is well worth considering.More

My wife and I ate at the Londinium during a stay at the London Bridge Hotel. The Londinium is in the hotel basement; it has a classical ambiance and is a peaceful place to eat and feels a million miles from the noise and hubbub...of Tower Bridge Road and Borough Market (though the market is a fabulous place to visit). We found our choice of fish and steak respectively fully satisfactory and service was excellent. We also took breakfast here on two mornings. We found it pleasant to linger here over tea and toast and newspapers on one of our mornings (though newspapers are not delivered at weekends, we were told). On the other morning when time was short we were able to eat well and quickly from the hot buffet. The Londinium proves to me that hot breakfast buffets can be very good – and they do leave you much more in control of your timeMore

Dark basement room with an only just acceptable breakfast which was charged extra. Staff appeared confused by the fact that the room was full. Fried eggs cold and congealed, bacon had clearly been under the hot lamp for some time. The fruit on offer was...a mixture of apple and melon; not what would normally expect for breakfast. Orange juice was synthetic. Nice pastries. I could have done a great deal better at the caff I used to use when doing site visits to the Shard.More

I've eaten here twice. The restaurant was quiet both times - the food is fine - if you're staying in the hotel it is a fine place to eat.
