Discover Leicester Square

Cafe Monico

Nestled in between two theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, Cafe Monico is perfect for a pre or post theatre meal. Serving French-Italian dishes from late morning through to dinner, seven days a week, the menus feature shellfish, pastas, salumi, grilled meats and fish in a traditional brasserie setting, inspired by the original Cafe Monico, established nearby in 1877.

Newton to Shakespeare

The tube journey on the Piccadilly line between Leicester Square and Covent Garden is London’s shortest, travelling only 260 metres. It lasts only 45 seconds and at £29.81 per mile, is one of the worlds’ most expensive rail journeys – enough of an incentive to take the scenic route and walk.
