One Aldwych — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Mezzanine restaurant Indigo serves an entirely gluten- and dairy-free British menu overlooking the soaring Lobby Bar below.

The neighborhood

Straddling the junction of The Strand and Aldwych, the hotel puts West End theaters and Covent Garden Piazza at your doorstep.

“The building itself, for one, is a listed 1907 Edwardian landmark, originally home to the Morning Post — try as they might, no converted warehouse or renovated apartment block would quite match it.”
