Inspired by a passion for authentic British cuisine and locally-sourced produce, the restaurant and cocktail bar is located within Apex Hotel City of London on Seething Lane and serves a ‘Best of British’ menu that celebrates the diverse and eclectic mix that is British cuisine today.
Situated a short walk from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, the restaurant is the ideal venue for Londoners and tourists alike to enjoy a meal with family and friends or to host a quick business meeting, with the space also encompassing a cocktail bar and terrace area that features a leafy green canopy and a bright aspect out onto Seething Lane.
The Lampery takes its name from one of Seething Lane’s most illustrious former residents and his favourite dish. Samuel Pepys was an MP known for his 17th-century diary that details life in the capital at the time, including two of its most well-documented events the Great Fire of London and the plague. As an avid foodie, Pepys peppered his diary with details of his favourite meals and one dish that stands out is The Lampery Pye, which he describes as ‘most rare’ in amongst a selection he devours at one of his famous feasts.
