*** Restaurateur's Description***

Set in the heart of theatreland and five minutes walk from Covent Garden, Bank Aldwych is a lively yet stylish bustling urban brasserie ideally situated between the City and the West End.

Bank Aldwych was established in 1996 and was the first of the Bank Restaurants to open.

The sweeping chandelier, designed by Julyan Wickham has almost three thousand glass slates, and the vast mural stretches from the bar through to the restaurant, both have become modern restaurant design classics. Bank Aldwych serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and the creative food is fresh and robust with a modern twist on the classics.
