About
In the heart of Victoria-Pimlico you will find About Thyme - a bright and buzzy restaurant, usually packed out with folk dropping in from offices in nearby Victoria as well as those lucky locals who have this little gem right on their doorstep. A large purple painted and glass frontage opens out in to an intimate cream painted dining room furnished in subtle and comfortable banquettes and mood lighting while in the summer months pavement dining is a must for those people watching afternoons. About Thyme's bistro style menu is put together with produce fresh from the London markets so expect great tasting flavours straight from ground, sea or field inspired by classic European recipes.

Hidden Gem

I love this place. The food is fantastic and the staff gorgeous. We’ve been coming here for years and it has ALWAYS delivered on taste and service! I’d also recommend taking advice on what wine will compliment your meal as the recommendations are spot on.

Don’t walk past, go in and enjoy!

We ate early on 29th Feb before we headed to the theatre (NOT Wicked!) and so glad we opted for About Thyme. The unprepossessing exterior may not grab attention along a street heavy with dining competition, but once inside, the decor is traditional and warm...More

Very good

We were taken out to this little restaurant on a recent visit to London. Very warm and welcoming with great staff who were very attentive all evening. I had a salad and starter rather than a main. I chose sardines which were cured with caviar...More

Great find.

Booked because of other reviews and we weren't disappointed. Came at lunch time and were seated at the bench, which we found comfortable! The service was great and the food excellent. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be back.

Delicious food and highly attentive service

Looking for somewhere to eat before the theatre, we came across this beautiful looking restaurant and decided to go in to eat. Slightly thrown about asked 'How can I help you?' when we walked in (something to eat presumably?!) but we were given wonderfully attentive...More

Tapas and wine - a balanced life

This is such a great tapas restaurant. The whole menu is great, the staff are very good and their own personalities show through. To top it off all the wine seems to be lovely. Just go!

Another great experience at about Thyme

As regulars, we had booked About Thyme yesterday for a family lunch to celebrate Christmas early. We had the regular Spanish menu and the food was as usual outstanding. The waiting staff were highly efficient and most friendly and the ambience was relaxing and pleasant!...More

Pimlico
Time spent in Pimlico is a slower-paced affair than
most other Central London neighbourhoods. This largely
residential area orderly arranged beside the Thames,
is a treasure trove of quaint pubs, subtle
architectural charms and local boutiques. Here, art
lovers thrill at the chance to visit the world class
Tate Britain gallery for its collection of British art
from the 1500s to the present. For peace and quiet and
