Maxwell's Bar & Grill
London's first American burger house
In brief
On King Street in Covent Garden, an American diner that has been running for over fifty years. It started in Hampstead, spent decades on James Street, and moved to its present address in 2018 when the rent rose. What sets it apart is the continuity rather than the cooking — it was here before every imported burger chain.

Good to know
- Open daily from noon to eleven, which suits a pre-theatre meal.
- They take bookings, though you may not need one.
