92 French Restaurants near Piccadilly Circus London

We found 92 French restaurants within 1 miles 1 miles of Piccadilly Circus London

Often regarded as the London equivalent to Times Square, Piccadilly Circus is a tourist hotspot. Moments away from the heart of London’s theatre land, Shaftesbury Avenue, whilst also being equally close to both Soho and the edge of Mayfair, it’s somewhere you often find yourself passing through rather than visiting specifically. However, whilst a lot of locals feel the need to avoid the hustle and bustle of Central London, there are actually a lot of cool things going on in the Piccadilly Circus area and that includes a lot of amazing restaurants.

Now, although there are of course plenty of cheap, chain restaurants as well as expensive tourist traps in this area, if you look around a bit more carefully and dare to venture off some of the busier streets, there are some hidden gems to be found. Chinatown is just a five-minute walk away from Piccadilly Circus and contains a wonderful selection of authentic Chinese restaurants, most of which are brilliant value and rarely require advanced booking – perfect for a quick meal before a West End show.
