    Love the concept, really different, doesnt quite feel like a chain. Great food and design, lots of light and importantly free wifi! Good options for kids but i didnt get the coloring page :-( Generally great offering.

    Leon is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner but I've only ever been here for lunch because it happens to be equidistant between the offices of my friend and me - but we keep going back because it's got a really nice atmosphere. The place is set up like a posh Mexican labourers' canteen with a good mix of intimate tables for two and big benches for the more communally-minded. It's bright and clean and very relaxed. The service is quick but the food isn't 'fast'. In fact the restaurant sells itself on fresh and simple dishes. I love the Moroccan Meatballs which is part of their hot meals lunch menu and these are all served with rice and their Spring Slaw. They also serve big wraps, salads and soup as well as cakes and tea and coffee. The meatballs will cost you £2.50 and you get a good sized portion for this. If you are out and about around the South Bank I would highly recommend that you try this place.

    Best fast-food there is in London. There are locations everywhere, everything is pre made but still feels as though it was made individually for you. There are so many healthy options of both meat eaters and vegetarians. The Moroccan meatballs are my personal favorite.

    Leon is my regular stop for lunch and definitely a favourite among the people I work with. Located just behind the Tate you can either take out or sit on one of the comfy sofas which makes it handy for meetings or a catch up over lunch. The food is delicious - I often grab a wholesome porridge for breakfast which you can chose with a variety of toppings and they also do a wonderful granola yoghurt. Of course, if you prefer your brekkies a little more fulfilling (or to cure a hangover) they serve an amazing bacon bap which is healthier than most as the meat is grilled. Lunches include superfood salads and a great choice of wraps. They also have a yummy selection of cakes, brownies and muffins which are rather on the large side! This branch is large compared to some of the other branches and the staff are amazingly quick which makes the lunch time rush a lot less stressful!

    This is the nice server #Leon #London

    Ok. So in the area and overall regarding prices in London, is not as expensive so I do recommend it as an option. Specially if you're visiting the Tate. Food is not great but not bad either. What I will warn you is the attitude of the staff. Condescending and rude. Not cool in my book. SPECIALLY if I'm tired and hungry. There's this blonde short haired girl... Avoid her. Let the younger brunette one be your server. Also the manager, leader or commander pretty rude as well. I recommended as a fast food stop area yes, but bring and keep your guard up as well. Space is nice and comfortable. Large room. IT HAS WIFI #Leon #London #CustomerService #Hello

    See all

    The grilled chicken is great here, but pretty sure I got food poisoning from the lamb kebab wrap so beware....

    It's basically fast food but good food. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I wish they would change the menus more often.
