    The Songbird Restaurant & Bar was outstanding. We were impressed from the moment we entered. Our first reaction was WOW! We said tag a couple more times. Both our food was a WOW! Both presentation and taste was awesome! £35 for 2 courses in London for this quality was impressive. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone without reservations.

    Park Kitchen & Bar at Sadlers Wells East is a lovely, welcoming restaurant. The staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. Food delicious and good size helpings. Great views over to the Olympic/West Ham Stadium. Lots of inclusive community activity on the Sadlers Wells East dance floor which adds to the atmosphere. Now that V&AEast has opened including the Jikoni cafe, Park Kitchen & Bar need to continue looking after their customers.
