about
The Strings restaurant celebrates people, seasonal flavours and live music.
Located on the prestigious County Hall building just behind the London Eye and opposite the Big Ben. Since the opening in February 2022, we have been serving both quality interpretations of sumptuous meals and new dishes. The menu is curated to give you an opportunity to sample dishes that reflect the depth of Italian cuisine and Spanish Tapas, using modern techniques whilst remaining true to tradition and regionality. The kitchen team takes great care in sourcing the best of local, fresh and seasonal ingredients.
The interiors follow contemporary and casual styles with natural and warm colours.
Taking inspiration from Julian Bream, a London guitarist, the restaurant owner will take you on sensual live performance with famous pieces of composers such as Rodrigo, Tarrega, Albeniz, Granados, as well as Verdi and Rossini. At The Strings, we believe that when food, music and the perfect atmosphere come together, the result is unforgettable!
The Strings Italian & Spanish Tapas Restaurant gives you the chance to taste some of the most well-known tapas recipes from Italy & Spain.
All this will be accompained by the sound of the classic guitar played by Santy, the owner himself who is passionate about this lovely instrument as well as food and has decided to merge the both to create a perfect combo that will make it an unique dining experience for you.
