    I go here in the mornings when it's quiet, the unlimited Lavazza coffee for just £1.25, in London, in a quiet relaxed environment, is just the deal of the century. Generally if you're looking for generally great coffee on a budget then this is a place to visit. Beautiful interior, all very well kept and maintained. Both the main areas and toilets are very clean. Friendly staff.

    Visited The Metropolitan Bar last Friday before Christmas so expected for it to be busy and it was. Few Bouncers around but spoke to them all and very friendly. Grand building, making for a nice surroundings. First drinks got from bar, very with few people, member of staff was helpful and friendly. Could not see my preference of beer, Boombar but was there at £4.52 and it was an excellent pint, they know how to keep real ales, cheaper than my local out of London pub. Ordered others drinks from App and they come up in a timing manner. There are few Wetherspoons I won't visit but this I woukd recommend.

    The poorest spoons I've been in. Damaged seating, app doesn't work in there, served off beer, other beer not available, some condiments not available (Mayo) dry burger, serving staff asking tables if you had ordered food (didn't know), dirty tables. Staff were polite and attentive earning the place it's only star. Really needs some investment. The staff deserve a better working environment.

    Great bar. Great space. Many years ago it was the lobby of London Transport when I came round for an interview. There are still many mementos left around with the me as many paintings on the walls and ceilngs. It was a busy affair. Loads of people. The look outside is deceptive as the bar has a massive internal space. You go in and turn right. Great array of drinks are on show for the mixed crowd of customers

    Love this wetherspoon for cheap and cheerful food! The decor is fantastic and the staff are super helpful. It is normally busy but seats do become available quickly. Random but definitely check out the women's toilet! Loads of vegan options. Vegan bao buns were dry but otherwise everything else was very good.

    The location is easily accessible for us as it’s next to Baker Street tube station. The atmosphere is lively and it’s busy even on weekdays. Good food, variety of drinks and quick service.

    4 stars for its location, service, atmosphere n beautiful interior building. As soo as u entered, u found it amazing Victorian style architecture building with red, white n golden colours. Served quickly by nice lady. Seems friendly staff but they chatting too much😝. Nice clean WetherSpoon which usually happened. Good security. Full pack floor. Atmosphere is beautiful. N so convenient location just next door of Baker Street Underground station. Centrally located in London city mean busy full time but good for a quick drink or bite.

    How can you not like Wetherspoon. Many different options for food and all meals I've tried was really nice. Always fast service, don't need to wait long time, usually order comes in less than 15min. Also plenty of different options of what you can eat so I'm sure you will find something that will fill you up. Also, this place is popular not because of good food, but of verity of alcohol and reasonable prices for it. Highly recommend

    Very spacious for a bar in the city. Lots on offer and all reasonably priced as you’d expect for a Wetherspoons. Great to chill and have a beer or two……. Or three 🙄before the commute home

    Dropped in here last night on the way back to hotel from open air theatre . The place was manic at 2220 but got a pint of London pride and double Tanquery and tonic for less than a tenner. Well nearly - as the wife wanted a packet of crisps so another £1 had to be added!! The drinks were excellent quality at great value in London and quickly served. Managed to get a seat near the main door away from the manic crowd - must be a lot better ambience when not at the end of the new working week🤔.

    First-time trying the ‘Tennessee buttermilk chicken burger’ it was nice and filling too! They gave me FREE onion rings too, I think because I was sat at a table with dirty plates on it. Appreciated. Thank u ☺️

    Packed “pub” but the place is so big is almost like a stately home. Did not eat but asked people in my group who had burgers and they said 7/8 out of 10. Great atmosphere, quick to get a drink. Very busy spot.

  • 5/5 NiKoJlaY 5 months ago on Google • 110 reviews
    Nice place, near to the Bond Street Underground station. Delicious food especially for the price. Beautiful place inside, good service, clean toilets , you can't beat a Wetherspoon at price/quality especially in 2023 .

  • 3/5 Alicia “Tantrum Artist” R. 2 months ago on Google • 45 reviews New
    Was a lovely experience, location is lovely right outside Baker street, food was good, I had jacket potatoe which comes with a variation of sides you can add. Barcode to order or visit the bar, spacious, chilled vibe and huge inside. Toilets is massive and clean, smoking area and outdoor tables. Not bad tbf

    A recommended place to go with your office colleagues or group of friends for drinks and grub! Super convenient to order online and in minutes we got the drinks to the table. The staff was friendly and quickly took our empty glasses and plates.. Only downside, drinks weren't strong enough 😁

    Stairs at entrance. Tasty, well priced food, served quickly. Cheap drinks. Staff helpful. Ladies toilets upstairs.

  • 5/5 Andy B. 2 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Best pub in Baker Street! Good value drinks and food! Lovely entrance and even better inside!!!

  • 4/5 Andrew H. 9 months ago on Google
    Great down to earth place with down to earth people and food .. The food is generally 'ok' but not great. I think the curries are the best option taste wise. But where else would you get a pint of beer plus a burger for under 10 pound sterling

  • 4/5 Helen H. 6 months ago on Google
    Fabulous place, I've never been in such a classy Wetherspoons. Formerly the Chiltern Restaurant and dance hall, linked with Baker Street Station. Worth a visit for the decor!

  • 5/5 Dan C. 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Best spoons I’ve been to yet! The staff were real nice and looked happy to be there, the atmosphere was calm and chilled and it was nice just sit and eat good food and drink Guinness, oh and watch the world go by

  • 4/5 Kazushi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub but because it's located in London even a cask beer costs double as over £5 per pint compared to my local.

  • 5/5 Chris G. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice cavernous Wetherspoons right next to Baker Street station. There are large booths for groups and an open plan bar area. Good atmosphere in here. All the usual Wetherspoons food options. Order through the app for table service.

  • 4/5 Chris S. 6 months ago on Google
    Only scrambled eggs available. Unfortunately the reconstituted type. But not too bad considering the price. Good service even though the place was full. Worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Marc F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub, nice and warm on a cold December day. Great location. Great ham egg and chips as well!

  • 5/5 The W. 1 year ago on Google
    Not your usual 'spoons with high ceilings and a very red and white theme in the main bar. The usual history around the walls, although it somehow seems bigger in here with shields everywhere just under the ceiling. The staff were amazing: cheerful, polite and helpful (most of tables at the rear were booked for an hours time but the staff assured me it was fine to grab a table for breakfast. The entrance has booths and comfortable seating on either side after a few steps up and the main bar had booths down both sides with high and low tables either side of the central isle. Plenty of room to move about. The breakfast (with eggs) was excellent as always as was the Guinness.

    Spacious WS location retaining many original features Right beside the Bakerloo underground exit We had a light bite and a few drinks at very reasonable rates Nice pint of Jaipur 👍 Large reception area with seating is a bit draughty in cold weather but the main area was warm and inviting. High ceilings and intriguing plaster moulding and crest’s

  • 4/5 Rhian S. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely looking Spoons very conveniently located next to Bakers Street station. Food is always hot when served and the staff are lovely. However, we have consistently had to chase food and drinks, waiting up to two hours for a pint of cider with no offer of a refund or credit. When not chased, the average pace of service is extremely slow, with no apologies from staff.

  • 5/5 Miranda 2 years ago on Google
    Loved this place, great vibe, beautiful building, nice staff, well priced food and drink (especially for the Baker Street location) and fabulous toilets (with a sofa in) sounds like it could be awkward, but its very comfortable and clean. Just beware trying to exit via the mirror in the ladies toilets as myself and many others attempted the mirrored way out, which is quite easy to do even before an alcoholic drink.

    Nice Wetherspoons pub near Marlybone. Staff friendly & helpful & free WiFi.

  • 4/5 Sharron M. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely, historic grand bar with beautiful features, conveniently located right next to Baker Street underground station. Great selection of food and drinks too, all budget-friendly. Plenty of seating throughout, however due to large customer numbers it is usually extremely busy - and therefore LOUD!! If you prefer a quieter ambience you'd do well to avoid Friday nights and weekends, particularly after 5pm, as finding a free table will be difficult!! Added bonus: The ladies bathroom! (You'll appreciate it once you see it.)

  • 5/5 Michelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot to stop for lunch! Beautiful building and good food! Appreciate Wetherspoons prices while here.

  • 5/5 Adriana S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good pub for quick meal or drinks with friends. Easy transport underground link. Right next to the Baker Street station.

  • 4/5 Gabriella H. 2 years ago on Google
    A very spacious restaurant with lovely bathroom. Food very fresh and was great. However staff need to be more attentive to the two coffee machines if possible. I had consistent issues with both machines which was sorted after I called staff for help. Very polite team.

  • 5/5 Evelyn C. 1 year ago on Google
    In London you will not find tastier food for this price! Perfect if you want to enjoy tasty cooked breakfast after the night shift! WOW lunch in Wetherspoon for only £8... very nice beef burger with tasty coleslaw and amazing chips! I also like their ham and mushroom pizza, very nice thin crust!
