    Lovely service, alllllllll day long!
    Nilanj D.

    The crew here - ESPECIALLY the late night crew - is wonderful, they try hard, and they're kind. I'm very disappointed by the petty and impetuous poor reviews here. Most of these rough reviews seem to focus on someone's unrealistic extraneous requests or expectations rather than the good things this place does. That's too bad because this place has decent food, nicely-priced drinks, kind and considerate staff, and 24 HOURS SERVICE (including alcoholic drinks). We're in a town where most "nice" food options and even pubs close at 10/11pm... this place is an absolute treasure. I'm so glad I took the opportunity and "gamble" to walk in and get a post-midnight drink and meal.

    I was visiting London last month and suffering from jet lag. I stumbled upon this 24 hour restaurant, close to my hotel, extremely hungry. I like the vibe here. The service was friendly and it had a neighborhood pub feeling, even though its a restaurant. Chintali was my server and she was very pleasant and helpful The teriyaki salmon was cooked perfectly and the salad very fresh and crisp. Surprisingly, the smoothie was pretty much the star of the meal. I wasn't expecting a smoothie to be so delicious and refreshing. In the states, most smoothies don't integrate courgette (zucchini), but this one ingredient added a nice smoothness and depth to the smoothie. If you need a late night diner, with a chill vibe, good food and great service, stop at VQ Chelsea.

    If you are out an about after a night of dancing, pub hopping etc in London and craving something to eat this diner is great. Just from a people watching standpoint the diners were eclectic. Stylishly dressed, straight from the Ascot races complete with flowy dresses, and men in top cats to those enjoying a night out the diner was packed. We decided to go with a full English breakfast that didn't disappoint. Tasty food, larger than expected portions and friendly service. Do yourself a favor order the half size dish in most cases

    We were looking for a late-night bite to eat after a concert and tried VQ because it was open and close and served all-day breakfast. It's basically the London equivalent of a 24-7 diner, and like diners, some are really good and some aren't. The best thing we ordered was the side of hashbrowns, which were perfectly fried golden potato cakes shaped like triangles. I really wished we'd ordered two of those in the end. I ordered the eggs benedict with salmon and I added avocado. The hollandaise was hollandaise sauce was plentiful but made from a mix. The smoked salmon was thick and not all that fresh. I didn't finish it all. My husband had pancakes and bacon, which were a little better. But honestly, not a lot to write home about here. We were not impressed.

    A short walk from our apartment in Chelsea. My husband tried the steak and eggs with bacon on the side. I had a smoked salmon on bagel with a latte. Both were very good. Good thing about this location is that is is close and very affordable prices.

    3.5 stars rounded up to 4....I feel like this is London's version of what Denny's is to California...it was a comfy place to eat and everything seemed to be at a very reasonable price. Would come back if I was looking for an inexpensive place to eat for good quality. The staff was very friendly and met our every request. I had my only English breakfast here during my time in London. Follow our travel vlog in Instagram for more... @thehungrynomadz

    The only reason I have ever ventured into the mysterious place that is Vingt-Quatre (24 in French for non-francophiles) is because I have been very hungry and very drunk and within walking (or cabbing) distance. I guess it goes with the posh-o address, but this 24 hour establishment acts like it's an exclusive nightclub- complete with doorman and velvet rope. So, to get your late night drunchie on, be prepared to stand in line with some rather rowdy and potentially Tarquin-esque people who might just say "I'm litrally in Burma." They will kick you out if you are too drunk and/or pass out, so bear that in mind when your new BFF from the club tags along then loses the ability to sit while you dine. (yes, this happened to me, but luckily this person paid for the group's... breakfast?) Don't go hungry, just go to Vingt-Quatre. When in London, that's what I do.

    the new look Vingt-Quatre, now known as VQ.
    Nik T.

    after an extensive yet speedy 3 week refurbishment, vingt-quatre has been reintroduced as VQ. the skylight at the rear of the shop, near the kitchen, is a nice touch that floods the 24hr restaurant with natural light. friendly italian waitresses here are ever ready to serve. i started with a latte, made with love. and was most pleasantly surprised to find that you get 1 free refill on all coffee and tea between 8am-8pm! free wifi is always a bonus. a comprehensive 24 hour breakfast menu to boot. i asked about their kedgeree and it came highly recommended. and spot on they were! the best way to describe it is that it looks like a milanese saffron risotto but taste like a creamy, smoked haddock curry served with a perfectly poached egg on top. cant quite find any negative comments except: COVER CHARGE (MIDNIGHT-6AM): Sunday - Thursday: £1.50 per person. Friday & Saturday: £2.50 per person.

Battered like it owed someone money. Crisp on the outside, flaky in the middle, seasoned right. Chips were chunky, like they should be, not those little frozen fries that taste like sadness. Mushy peas weren't shy either. Tartar sauce had enough punch to remind you you're in Britain, not on a cruise ship. My bruv was with me, the one who's always got it all figured out. While I was neck-deep in cod and joy, he's sat there with a pot of tea and a steak omelette like some kind of Soho aristocrat. Didn't say a word, just nodded at the first bite. Man knows what he's doing. Service was sharp. Our waitress had that no-nonsense, bit-of-a-tease energy. Proper London. Never hovered, didn't push us out, and no fuss about the tip. Let us eat, drink, breathe, and get our bearings. We sat outside, under the red umbrella. Sun peeking through the trees. Locals walking their dogs, tourists trying to look like they belong. Great crowd. Better view. Felt like I was back, in all the best ways.

    My parents live in W8 and we're all huge fish & chips fans. The way London (esp. KHS) changes,…read moreit's hard to retain a fave F&C place (with closures & such). So when we visited in 2024, the parental units said "We found our fave F&C place, Balans." So me & the boy went one night for dinner. About have full and we were seated right away & a server was with us in a few minutes, his name was David. Wow, what a fantastic person! He was charming, around when needed and I feel I cannot say enough good things about him. Onto the meal, I had the F&C (ofc) and the boy had the roast chicken. The PU's were not wrong, literally the best F&C I have had in a very long time! The alcohol prices were better than the local pubs & the ambiance here is out of this world, just beautiful! Do yourself a favor & eat here.
