Lands End Restaurant

Refined British Dining with Dockside Views

Lands End Restaurant offers a polished yet relaxed dining experience right on London’s Royal Victoria Dock. Located inside the luxurious Sunborn Yacht Hotel, this waterside restaurant blends classic British cuisine with contemporary flair, all in a sleek, nautically-inspired setting. Expect white tablecloths, modern decor, and panoramic views of the dock—an ideal pre-show escape from the city buzz.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its location near the ExCeL Centre and other Docklands venues, Lands End is a convenient stop before or after a show. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, perfect for conversation before the music starts. Guests often mention the efficient service, which makes it easy to enjoy a quality meal without feeling rushed. It’s also far enough from the crowds to offer a peaceful pre-concert moment, but close enough to walk to your event.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a smart meet-up spot with scenic views
• Solo travelers catching a gig and craving a calm dinner before the crowd
• Couples planning a romantic weekend around a concert
• Fans seeking a more upscale but unpretentious pre-show meal

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable regularly praise the restaurant’s stunning dockside location, attentive staff, and well-prepared British classics like lamb rump and fish & chips. Many note it as a “hidden gem” with a peaceful vibe, perfect for avoiding the usual concert crowd chaos. The wine list and cocktails also earn high marks, especially when enjoyed on the deck with a view of the water.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the menu leans toward the pricier side, so it may not be ideal if you're looking for a quick, budget bite. Others have noted that while the location is beautiful, it can be a bit quiet—great for some, but maybe too mellow if you're after a high-energy pre-show experience.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a scenic, relaxed meal just minutes from the Docklands’ biggest venues, Lands End Restaurant delivers elegance without the fuss.
