    One of the best bars in London for pre-theatre or pre-dinner drinks. Always great service and beautiful flowers/decoration.

    Amazing venue, atmosphere and delicious cocktails topped off and made exceptional by Julia who could not have looked after us better! She is a credit to One Aldwych - we will be back and would love her to help us again! She made our evening very special. Thank you Julia.

    As always a fantastic place to escape the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden. Fabulous ambience and truly brilliant staff as always- every interaction was faultless ! Cannot recommend One Aldwych enough.

    This has always been our must-stop in London, but no more. Drinks weren't great (a poorly-made Manhattan and an otherwise-OK gin Martini with pathetic olives as garnish). Snacks are a come-down from what they once were (crackers!?! and olives). Prices were never cheap, but are now outrageous. We left after one drink and visited our favorite pub. Basically, this is no longer our place to celebrate a trip to London, which is sad.
