Grill Bar and Restaurant is the main dining venue at the Clayton Hotel City of London, offering modern European dishes, classic grill favourites and an all-day menu in one of the capital’s busiest business districts. Located on New Drum Street, the restaurant sits just moments from Aldgate East Underground station and within walking distance of the City, Spitalfields Market and the Whitechapel Gallery. This part of east London is known for its mix of contemporary office buildings, historic streets and a growing food scene, making the restaurant well placed for both hotel guests and local workers.
The space forms part of the hotel’s ground-floor dining and bar area, designed with a clean, modern aesthetic that suits everything from business lunches to relaxed evening meals. Large windows bring in natural light, while the layout offers a combination of booth seating, tables and a dedicated bar area for drinks or lighter bites.
The menu focuses on grill-led dishes and modern European cooking, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and straightforward presentation. Diners can expect options such as steaks, burgers, chicken dishes, fish plates and seasonal mains, alongside salads, vegetarian choices and lighter starters. Breakfast is also served daily, offering both continental and cooked options for hotel guests and visitors. The restaurant’s all-day approach means it caters to a wide range of dining occasions, from early-morning meetings to evening meals.
The bar serves a selection of wines, beers, spirits and cocktails, making it suitable for pre-dinner drinks or informal gatherings. Its location near major transport links and the City’s commercial hub makes it a convenient choice for business travellers, tourists and locals alike.
With its central Aldgate setting, modern grill-focused menu and relaxed hotel-restaurant atmosphere, Grill Bar and Restaurant provides a practical and contemporary dining option in one of London’s most dynamic districts.
