Baby Grand

Late night piano bar and kitchen next to Charing Cross station with live music every night.

The 2018 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £7.95 (+p&p).

It’s a fairly unassuming place for a piano bar, what with the adult entertainment and train station in touching distance. Inside, though, is a pleasant if thin bar area and raised restaurant. It’s an evening haunt that brings a touch of the speakeasy, jazz bar atmosphere to colder climes, with a pianist playing on the – you guessed it – baby grand every night. The bar’s got a bit of a Cheers feel to it, with friendly staff and punters alike. There’s a market menu, and an à la carte with sandwiches, a grill for meat and fish, a few bistro dishes and a concert menu, too, with the King's Theatre on the doorstep. Try a salmon roulade with sourdough, or a leek and fennel risotto with a panko poached egg and roasted tomatoes. For dessert, there’s a chocolate and Frangelico marquis with yoghurt sorbet that tastes like an Aero (in the best possible way). There’s a good choice of beers, bottle and tap, as well as bellinis, cocktails and a selection of gins.
