Casual dining at its most refined

Set in lively London Victoria, The Idler offers an elegant escape from the bustle of the city. Grounded in British seasonality and inspired by Mediterranean notes, our menu features a mix of small and large plates – bringing a fresh twist to familiar favourites. From sea-to-table fish and prime steak to deli-style sides and bites, our dishes are designed to be shared, or savoured solo, over a delicious glass of wine or a handcrafted cocktail.

Opening hours

The Idler is open from 6.30 AM to 11 PM on weekdays, and from 7 AM to 11 PM on weekends. Breakfast: 6.30 AM to 11 AM (weekends 7.00 AM to 11 AM) All day dining: 12 PM to 10 PM

Events of all shapes and sizes

Neighboured by London Victoria Station in the very heart of Westminster, The Idler is perfectly located for team building events, invite-only parties, group gatherings, private dinners, functions and more. Make the most of our Intagrammable interiors, exceptional service and bustling atmosphere – not to mention our premium on-site hotel – and elevate your event in sleek, seamless style.

Deli

It’s the kind of place where time slows a little. Where you can grab a fresh sourdough focaccia sandwich for the road, pick up a quick coffee to go, or gather beautiful ingredients to cook with back in your hotel room.
