Fodor's Review:

Established in 1889, Sweetings is a remnant from the old imperial City of London days. There are certain things Sweetings doesn't do: reservations, dinner, coffee, and weekends. It does, however, do seafood. Not far from St. Paul's, it is patronized by City gents who drink black velvet (i.e., Guinness and champagne) and eat potted shrimp and roe on toast at raised counters. The oysters are fresh, and puddings are grade-school favorites.

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