The Old Shades London Pub & Dining - London - Photo album
26hrs of travelling from Sydney and this was our first lunch stop just off Trafalgar Sq. Did not disappoint! Both Jackson and Diana made us feel so welcome and were great. Food was traditional English and outstanding.
A must in London. My husband and I arrived on our first day in the city and wanted to grab a late lunch in a “London style” pub. Our waiter “Magic Marius” was so friendly and inviting along with all the other staff. He noticed me taking pictures of their beautiful bar and was kind enough to let my h
Sunday roast beef was a little bit tough
But Beers and Fish and chips were great !
All the staffs are really kind and nice.
I really like this place.
My last dinner in London here was great!
After the dinner, I walked the roads to BigBen and Westminster through amazing night view!
Very attentive staff. Good food. I had the roast beef which was very good. My daughter had the roast chicken which was also very good. My girls were entertained by a staff who did bits of magic tricks for them. Definitely recommended for their Sunday roast.
Marius was absolutely amazing. He was serving at the bar, recommended a great beer, then a great cocktail. The key was the magic. He performed some mind blowing card tricks at the bar with us, it was extremely entertaining and very funny. A great mix of magic and comedy. Highly recommend
Marius was a wonderful server! Our 7-year-old son, Leigh, is now determined to be a magician thanks to Marius’ magical skills at the dinner table. He gave Leigh a magic trick playing card that has become his favorite souvenir from our trip to London from Chicago.
The food was delightful. Atmosphere
The magician is such a beautiful man.
He is very engaging with people and loves surprising us.
An absolute wonderful person.
Great value and a lovely person.
Others could learn so much from him.
Great atmosphere! An unique place to have a good taste of London with British food and nice beers and cocktails. You feel transported to the old times.
Mario, our waiter-magician, performed unbelievable tricks in front of our eyes that we are still trying to figure out. How the hell he does them??
The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Every other establishment we've been to has had horrible customer service. But Jackson and the bartender at this place have been wonderful! The food was amazing as well! If we visit London again we'll come back for sure.
Had a great time on a rainy Sunday at The Old Shades. Great food (VERY generous fish and chips), drinks and the unexpected highlight of having an amazing magician Marius blow our minds with some fun card tricks! Definitely recommend.
Wanted a place to do a Sunday roast, and The Old Shades lived up to the hype. Great service and the food portions are extremely generous, especially given the fair pricing. Absolutely loved the drinks (try the Marmalade mule) but the icing on the cake was Magic Marius’s tableside card show which was
Mario was an excellent host and the magic tricks were def the highlights! He made us laugh and felt so comfortable in this traditional pub! Cosy environment.
We were in London just for one day and definitely wanted to eat at a local pub. We were walking around until we got hungry and this place looked great and had enough seating for 8 people. The atmosphere, decor, service, drinks and food were great.
Jackson our waiter was the best!!
Very courteous. He even let us be pretend bartenders. Thank you Jackson for a fun experience on our first day in London. Food was delicious. Restaurant was very accommodating to my having celiac. The gf fish and chips were awesome 👏
Good food, and the beer was also very nice. On the top of it, Mario, one of the waiters, did some magic tricks and honestly, he was so professional. I can really recommend this pub.
If the food and decor of the place wasn’t great enough, the unexpected magic tricks from Mario really made our visit! Thanks for the fun and a great atmosphere!
Great pub in heart of London. Got the Sunday roast and it was good. Mario was a fantastic server. Did some great magic tricks and spending time with us. If we ever come back, it would be for him! Atmosphere is traditional pub as well. It’s a smaller pub so has a more infinite atmosphere as well.
One of the servers saw my son looking tired and said you can’t sleep yet. I got something for you. Then he did like 5 awesome magic tricks. Was a great meal and a great time.
