The Ivy · London
Covent Garden's original 1917 theatreland institution.
Why we recommend The Ivy in London
When guests book a London night out through MyRSVP and ask for the one Theatreland table that feels like the city itself, The Ivy on West Street is the name our team reaches for first. This is the original - the 1917 flagship at 1-5 West Street, tucked between the Ambassadors and St Martin's theatres in Covent Garden, and it is the room every later Ivy Cafe and Ivy Brasserie was built to echo. It earns its place on our curated London shortlist on heritage and scene alone: a century of writers, actors, and post-curtain regulars have passed under its stained glass, and a pre-theatre dinner here is still one of the most quintessentially London ways to open an evening.
A note on how we work: outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP concentrates on nightclub and pool-club
