My favourite Oreo milkshake fix is provided here! It never let's me down!

I love this place! I came here two years ago for the first time and fell in love with their milkshakes! Two years later, I've come back to London and I just HAD to get the milkshake. It's so heavenly. I got the VIP cookies and cream milkshake (forgot the name) but it was reallllly yummy! A bit pricey for the shake but still worth it because it tastes so delicious. My cousin got the banana crumble shake and it was pretty good as well :) I would suggest getting the drinks and sitting in to drink it because when you do take away, they give you less. I will definitely go here again, any chance I can get :) read more

After my visit last nite my oppinion of Tinsle town has completely changed. The staff were rude and unhelpful and the milkshakes were flavourless! read more

Tinsel Town is the sort of place that should be loads of fun but is really just very surreal. Going to the 'American-style diner' late at night means being greeted at the door by bouncers who don't seem to realise they aren't working at one of the nearby Smithfield clubs. You could almost understand where they might be confused, as the restaurant is packed with fussily-dressed club goers, which makes things awkward if you're just looking for a midnight snack. But what's most annoying is that they claim to be open 24 hours, but actually close between 7 and 10am for cleaning. This is especially ridiculous considering they have a breakfast menu. The main attraction of the diner, their milkshakes, are still a nice treat and probably some of the best in London, though they are rather small for the price. If you find yourself with a craving, you'd do better to get to their Hampstead outpost which is still open until 2am. read more

Tinsel Town? What a great name!! Me and my friends literally stumbled upon this place in our drunken states at five o clock in the morning. We'd come from a party in Old Street and somehow ended up in Farringdon at an American Diner, eating huge burgers and falling asleep in our plates. To be fair I can't remember much about this place, other than it has the typical American Diner appearance and menu. I'm actually, now thinking about it guessing they must do an amazing chocolate cake here and when I'm finished dieting I will definitely go back and check out their deserts. The cool thing about Tinsel Town is nobody knows when it closes well I'm sure they do- but it's open till such early hours in the morning that ravers never see this place closed. I remember thinking that the burgers were fairly expensive, but I suppose this is the price you pay for wanting American Diner style food at five o clock in the morning with the full restaurant service and all. The only fault with Tinsel Town is it's location, Farringdon isn't necessarily in the thick of all the London action which means it's a trek to get to after a night out and ridiculous to get home from at five in the morning then I suppose where isn't hard to get home from at these hours? This place is perfect for going to after a big night out and could be cool for a quirky birthday dinner thing. Tinsel Town is a vampire's heaven. read more

Great milk shakes is all I can really say, any flavour you can imagine is there they have different flavours of chocolate bars which you can choose from and the best thing about it, is its 24 hours meaning you can go n get a milkshake anytime of the daygreat stuff. read more

a couple of guys i went to uni with work around the same area i do, and this place just tends to be right in the middle, I have found the food to be quite nice but a bit to greasy for my liking. i mean the burgers literally drip grease onto the plate. but still we go there now and again, because once you get past that part of the mean its actually rather nice, and sometimes less greasy than others. the venue itself is smart. but they don't let you sit down at a table until all your party has arrived Overall I would only venture here because its convenient. read more

a great place to go and have a FUN time out with your friends or have a romantic time out with your boyfriend or girlfriend They have varieties of menu's from drink - delicious mouth watering desserts and it's very hard to choose what to eat because the food is TASTY so the best way is to try different things each time you go there.. Banana Split is the BEST as well as Sundae followed by Waffles.. TinselTown,,,a place you can enjoy :) You can also have b'day message on their plasma screens, with extra payment {only £5}...and get FREE tinseltown oscar award with sundaemmmmmm YUMMY!! read more

The pubs have closed. All restaurants have long since closed. Even Soho has shut up shop for the night. But you're hungry. Where are you gonna go? You don't really have much choice other than Tinseltown, Farringdon. As it happens, there are worse places to go. At up to £4.50 for a milkshake - and £3.99 for a few strands of pita with humous - it's not cheap - but perhaps you have to pay slightly over the odds for the luxury of having somewhere you can go whenever you want it. The security on the door seems rather odd - and almost off-putting - but once you're inside, the staff are friendly and a cheesy menu (every dish named after something linked to Hollywood) offers you a wide choice of meals - from a whole host of nationalities. The food is functional, but fine. And if it's you're friend's birthday, make sure you let the staff know - they'll get a candle in their dessert and they'll get a special birthday message from Ne-Yo and a whole host of other so-called celebrities who might impress younger, cooler people than me. read more

This place has fantastic milkshakes, and you can get them made from almost anything you please, from oreo cookies to ferro roche chocolate, they are gorgeous, albeit a tad pricey! However, over the years there are now many other places selling similar milkshakes, and the quality of the food they server is poor for the price you pay, so I only visit if I am in the local area! read more

Eaten here a few times before, although not at the Hampstead branch, and I have to say it is an experience at any time of day. The milkshakes are awesome, worth the charge on occasion, and the burgers are doubles as standard- need I say more? Great random place, and close enough to 24/7 as possible read more

The milkshakes get 4 stars. They're pretty inventive, although inappropriately expensive (£4.75 because it has some Kinder Bueno in it? I don't think so.) The food is budget. I'm talking Captain Birdseye quality beef burgers and the type of seasame seed buns you'd find in the local cornershop with a 6 month shelf life. I'd recommend Byron. You'll pay a similar price, get a beautiful bit of beef (with bacon if you want. Tinseltown is halal only, so not pork here). And Byron milkshakes are much more satisfying (if not a bit more plain) Really disappointed. Waitress plonked down our main course before we had even finished our starter (which was overpowered by a gallon of BBQ sauce). Really inattentive waitress took 15 minutes to take our order in the first place. Yet she brought the bill (with the service charge, ha!) within a minute. Go there for a milkshake. Avoid the food. Go to Byron if you want a bit of both, with better food and extremely attentive service! (I haven't reviewed on this site in years. I was SO disappointed with this place I felt compelled to write about it.) read more

Food is great! Chicken wings and their chicken burger always does the trick. Fries are great too. I visited here several times while I studied abroad in London. A little taste of the USA. On top of it all, you can finish with the AMAZING milkshakes. read more

This is an amazing little restaurant of an American diner theme. I don't know many people that have heard of it so i don't think its that big. BUT if you love milkshakes, this is definitely the place to be. You will have never seen such a menu for milkshakes every kind of chocolate/sweets made into milkshake favours e.g. twix, m&ms, starburst, lion bar, caramel, crunchie and many many more. They are around £4 but definitely worth it. They do do food as well, of course, American style such as burgers, though they do do some Chinese food aswell but you would go there for the milkshakes rather then the food. It is a little hidden gem located downstairs in the building. read more

Not bad, really (especially the milkshakes) but a bit pricey for what it is. They used to have a really fun menu, and used to serve kosher bacon on their halal burgers (which is great in a sort of post-modern culture mash-up kinda way) but they seem to have gone a bit more sane & mainstream lately. I'd still occasionally take people there for the surreal experience. read more

Tinsel Town is the place to go to if you fancy a milkshake as they have the most amazing flavours you could imagine. Personally I prefer the Tinsel Town Hampstead branch (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/235561-Tinseltown-24-Hour-Diner-London) as they use real ice cream in the milkshakes whereas the Farringdon branch uses Mr Whippy type ice cream. Worth a visit late at night when you get the munchies. I haven't tried the food so can't comment on that. read more

The food is very tasty here and the milkshakes are second to none (very filling), the place could look a bit better it doesn't look very well decorated and the toilets wasn't to the standard I'd expect in a restaurant! But again the food here is great read more

The guys at my previous work place raved about this place so I took my girlfriend out to give it a try. The food is crap. I have never tasted a burger so bad. It seems to be the way they prepare the meat, but maybe there is something else they put in it. I know it a Hala restaurant, but so is Burger King in Singapore and they have the best fast food burgers I've ever tasted. The people at Tinsel Town also can't make milkshakes. I wouldn't even go there again if you paid me. To top it all off it's a rip off for what you get. read more

Very very disapointing. Poor service starters came cold and only just before main course. Burgers soggy. Shakes nice but small for price. Reading the other reviews makes me think this place has changed owners? Tatty decor as well I would definately say avoid read more

Bad service and overpriced. £15 for a burger, £6 for waffleS. Took 30-40 minutes for our burgers to arrive. This place is HUGELY overrated. Also, £5 for milkshake? Blow it out your *... read more

The food was unforgettable. I will never forget how bad it was, I ordered a burger, it looked like the cow was on a diet. The waitress was walking around like she didn't work there, the fries looked questionable as to where it derived from. I would say if you're drunk just go to a kebab shop. The only reason they get 1 star is the milk shakes are actually really nice. read more

My first impression isn't good I think the decoration is ugly and the restrooms are the worst going to food my steak was good with fries and mash and a bbq dip. I also had a delicious strawberry milkshake which was really thick. read more

Very nasty. the place is unclean and unkempt and smells rather off,and the tables are awkwardly placed which is a shame because the place isn't even that small. It gets better towards the back where there are more traditional booths but our table was not cleaned properly even though it hadn't had anyone on it for a while. The waiter was nice though and so was my fererro rocher milkshake which is why I'm giving it 2 instead of 1. But sorry...The food was disgusting. Overpriced and horrible tasting chicken burger and cheap, clearly shop bought chips. I wish they gave you the option of what sauce you want or don't want on your burger because mine had a very bizarre and tangy one that I didn't like and I had to scrape it off. Don't go here except to pick up a milkshake! And even then don't expect anything Creams can't give you. read more

Probably the worst service I have ever received. The staff were so rude and acted like we were an inconvenience. As for the food, our hopes were so high but everything including the ketchup tasted bland and like the company was trying to save money by cooking frozen burgers and fries. So terrible I would never recommend to anyone. Worst money EVER spent! read more

This place is just awful. We used to always go there after a good night out. Then.one time, we got pancakes that were not cooked! I mean literally, pancake mix coming out of the middle when you cut it. Then..another time, my boyfriend pulled out like a 10 inch hair from the back of his throat while eating a waffle. Waitresses were wearing their hair down, no hairbands! eewwww! Plus, most of them, their english isnt too good, so you spend half your time trying to get them to understand you or you trying to understand them. Real lovers of dining out, do yourselves a favour and go to a real restaurant. read more

Juicetastic! Yes, who needs alcohol when you can have a refreshing shot of juice in this wonderful bar where a man can still, in his mind at least, be mistaken for James Bond? read more

Tinseltown despite its dingy basement diner appearance has a fairly good vibe, the staff and service is ok, and the food is generally good. They tend to do very good offers on a Monday for a meal for £5, check these offers on Facebook searching Tinseltown Diner. Why I go there is mainly for the milkshakes, they are top notch especially the Oreo Milkshake, no other restaurant does it properly, Tinseltown do, its solid ice cream texture when you arrive, and it tastes great! read more

Best milkshakes I've had, from Oreo to snickers ones there something to indulge in for everyone!

Everything's a satisfaction (so far). Been there quite frequent. Will drop by every time when I set my foot in London town. The service is okay, the food is nice. My all-time favorite are Texan BBQ wings & Lamb-chops which are delectable and juicy. Another killer is chocolate A-List shakes. read more

Was much better, however service needs improving, staff waitress not very friendly at all, not welcoming enough or could not help if we could not decide what to get and just looked agitated, however food was good and snickers shakes are the best, needs to improve the service as others are making better american style burgers now and Tinseltown is losing its edge, not really fond of the Rhianna music videos playing on the big screens while I am eating! read more

Really crummy service. They make you wait outside in the cold for a table, and when you finally get in you see there are tons of spots. The food is below average. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

love this place due to there BIG fat burgers and great milkshakes, always a good place to go to after a night out to get something to eat as its 24hr. read more

really liked this place, especially because it was open so late so we went after a night out for burgers. really chilled vibe - almost to the point of grimey but the milkshakes and fries were great read more

best milkshakes in London, perfect for students after a drunken night out!

Best burgers and milkshakes in London! Great vibe especially for a birthday. I normally have the cajun chicken burger and this is always great. The milkshakes are really good - you can literally have any kind of chocolate bar milkshake eg. snickers, mars, maltesers etc. You sometimes have to queue upstairs and they won't let you in unless your whole party is there. The booths are nice especially when you go in a big group. The best thing about this place is that it is open 24 hours. Service is quick and staff are friendly. Would definitely recommend to one and all. read more

Place was horrible. All the burgers come with two beef patties, don't even bother asking them to modify it so you can eat without blowing up afterwards. Service was rude and slow. Food was forgettable. read more

The food tasted of burgers you get from bookers/Costco and to be honest the place its self was amazing to look at but so expensive as the food was absolutely rubbish!!!! read more

After reading a couple reviews about this place I was a bit skeptical about going here. I was going with a couple of friends so I didn't want to be a killjoy. It is overpriced (£3.50 for a portion of chips. Tasted like cardboard. McDonalds better better chips!) The plates were FILTHY! Menus were tacky. The music was excruciating. It was stuff you'd hear at a kids party in the 90s! The waiter who served us couldn't even speak English so we had to keep repeating ourselves. It took about 10 minutes to make our order. The chef looked a bit dodgy :/ It was like he didn't want to be there. He kept on coming out looking quite angry. We had to pay a "service charge" (what for? I couldn't tell you. Service was appalling) even though there were only 6 of us. The only good thing about Tinseltown is the milkshakes. I had a Choc Chip Banana Crumble which at £5.00 is a bit expensive but it made up for the crap food. This place should be avoided at all costs unless you want a heart stopping yet delicious milkshake at 1 in the morning! read more

I've been to Tinsel town a few times before and all have been pleasant experiences. Good food. Nice milkshakes and the usual back alley looking clientele. However, Tinseltown seems to have mass employed new waiters, if you can even call them that, from some country in the EU which has open borders with the UK. As a result if you decide to eat at Tinseltown expect your food to be plonked on your table by argumentative, gum chomping, quick to grab your money Tinselswines. Tinseltown should be renamed Fritzltown because it's where decency and manners go to die. One plate plonker decided that he would explain to me over and over again that I had not ordered cheese with my burger and therefore I had to sell my soul to the devil, give him my first born child and pray to Buddha for forgiveness if I was ever to see a slice of cheese on my burger. Be aware of the service charge that they put on the receipt. They know that no-one in their right mind tips a a right royal teacosy. You do not have to pay for the luxury of being on the end on abysmal customer service skills. Also, the plate plonkers will hover around your table like vultures on a carcase as you count your money. However, It has to be said that the entertainment was excellent and mind blowing. I've never seen such skill and precision when it comes to a eating a burger; navigating around a veil draped around the hole in your face. Lastly, the toilets look a smell like pisspits. read more

Overrated, over-hyped and underwhelming. Dont bother, go somewhere else
