Angler London

Angler is at 3 South Pl, a five-minute walk from Leadenhall Market. The restaurant holds a Michelin star.

This is seafood-focused modern cooking that trades the frantic energy of the City for a more composed, smart environment. While many of its neighbours cater to the quick-turnover lunch crowd, Angler demands a slower pace. The room runs elegant, and the staff treats the ingredient list with a seriousness rarely found this close to The Gherkin or the Sky Garden. You choose it when you want the precision of a starred kitchen without the pretension of a traditional tasting room. It is a refined departure from the surrounding financial district, better suited to lingering over a menu than closing a deal.
