About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals

Nestled in the heart of historic Westminster, between Westminster Abbey and St James’s Park, lies the Old Queen Street Cafe — a British Brasserie offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, cocktails, and dinner.

Led by Chef Elliot Spurdle (formerly of The Wolseley and The Delaunay), our menu highlights Britain’s finest seasonal ingredients, blending the charm of traditional London cafés with elevated comfort and style.

Surrounded by heritage, OQS reflects its historic location. With the political journal UnHerd upstairs and the Palace of Westminster just a stone's throw away, the café is infused with history, from Winston Churchill’s salvaged Old War Office floorboards to a curated display of Martin Parr’s evocative photographs of English life.

Step into Old Queen Street Café and experience exceptional food, vibrant conversation, and a setting as memorable as its historical surroundings.

    A big family gathering was expertly looked after by the delightful staff at OQSC. Can get a little quiet towards mid-evening but the food was great. Will be back!

    A really delicious lunch on a busy day in Westminster (Trooping of the Colour) and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. All our food was excellent and very well cooked - the only person who had a slight reservation had ordered the ham hock and rabbit pie and would have liked a little more rabbit in the mix. But a small quibble. I’d definitely eat here again.

    Really great and attentive service by people who knew what they were serving and were bright and engaging. The food was really tasty and high quality. They didn’t rush us out even as we encroached on lunchtime. Would whole heartedly recommend
