About London

What this list covers

Picture the scenario: it's 6pm, everyone's tired, nobody wants to cook, and you need a table that won't empty your wallet before the bill arrives. That's precisely where London's depth works in your favour. With 303 active venues spanning 32 distinct chains, the city offers enough variety that you're rarely stuck. Pizza Express alone covers 57 sites — Southbank, Soho, Canary Wharf, all of it — so proximity is almost never the problem. Franco Manca runs 34 locations if wood-fired sourdough is more the mood. The catch worth knowing: several names on this list — Harvester and Zizzi among them — run their free children's offer exclusively during school holidays rather than across the full calendar year. Check the individual listing before you book.

Holiday-only chains in London: Banana Tree, Frankie & Benny's, Harvester, Hungry Horse, Marco Pierre White Steakhouse. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.

Verified by the kidseatfree.co.uk editorial team. Every venue here passes a 14-day freshness check; if a chain stops running its offer, it silently drops off the list.
