"A bit understaffed when I arrived with limited healthy hot food options,but I was early (between breakfast and lunch). At lunchtime situation changed, 3 options of lovely hot meals appeared and hot desert. Very good restaurant/canteen food in the hospital. Not super lot of health orientated food but still very good hot food options at lunch . It's located on a 5th floor of the main hospital. Stunning views of London City from the corridor sitting area. Tasty food. Update 8.09.2025 Visited again at 15:30 had amazing beef pasty with coleslaw and chips . They also had chicken in black bean sauce with rice and salad (got salad as spring rolls were finished by now). There was also vegetarian hot meal option. For warm dessert banana cake with custard. Everything is super yummy. Especially Rice, which is heavenly. Royal London Hospital webpage states: "The staff, patient and visitor restaurant is located on the fifth floor of the main building. It is open daily 7.30am to 7pm, including weekends and bank holidays. With impressive views of the surrounding area, the restaurant has 180 seats and serves a varied menu to cater for a range of diets. A selection of hot and cold foods are available in the restaurant.
