The Criterion, situated in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, is an elegant and breathtakingly beautiful restaurant. Originally opened in 1874, the Grade II listed lavish space has undergone a gentle and sympathetic restoration of its spectacular interiors, adding warmth and softness to the space. The restaurant is the only culinary destination in the capital blessed with the romance, grandeur and charisma of a neo-Byzantine design, and is soaked in fascinating history. With its irresistible combination of style, location, cuisine and exemplary service, the Criterion Restaurant is the perfect choice of venue if you are looking to create an unforgettable event, whether it is for corporate entertaining, a film premiere party, a special birthday or anniversary, Christmas party or family gathering. Criterion is now licensed for civil weddings and ceremonies and can cater for a wedding breakfast or evening reception. Please contact us for our events or wedding pack.
