Fodor's Review:

Established in 1889, Sweetings is a remnant from the old imperial City of London heyday. There are some things Sweetings doesn't do: reservations, dinner, coffee, and weekends. It does, however, do seafood. Not far from St. Paul's cathedral, it's patronized by City gents who drink tankards of Black Velvet (Guinness and champagne) and eat potted shrimp, roe on toast, and skate wings with black butter at linen-covered raised counters. The oysters are fresh, and desserts like spotted dick and bread-and-butter pudding are public-school favorites.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations not accepted.
  • Credit Cards: AE, MC, V
  • Closed: Closed weekends. No dinner
  • Tube: Mansion House
