Restaurant in London, United Kingdom
Book with PearlWhy go
The Parlour is a practical City dinner choice near Bank, better for a low-friction evening than a destination meal. Book it for convenience, easy availability, a central London plan; compare Cecconi's City of London or Coq D'Argent if cuisine identity matters more.
About The Parlour
Use The Parlour as a London evening option. Details on specific cuisine, chef, price point, awards record, service style, or booking difficulty are not available.
The clearest reason to consider The Parlour is timing. It opens in the evening Monday to Saturday, runs until 11 PM from Monday to Thursday, stays open until 12 AM on Friday and Saturday, is closed on Sunday. That makes it a dinner-only option based on the listed hours.
Choose it for a London evening
Cuisine, chef, awards, or price tier are not specified. The practical read is simple: use The Parlour when London evening availability is the draw. Monday to Thursday works for a standard dinner window; Friday and Saturday offer the later listed closing time. Sunday is not available.
For readers comparing London options, keep the choice practical rather than assuming a specific food or service style. Cecconi's City of London and Coq D'Argent are other London names to compare, but The Parlour should be judged on its own basics: it is in London and its hours are evening-only from Monday to Saturday.

Restaurant context
How The Parlour compares in the City
The Parlour is the easier, lower-commitment choice in this set: useful for a central dinner where access and timing matter more than a clearly defined cuisine. Cecconi's City of London is better when the group wants an Italian brief, while Coq D'Argent is the stronger celebration pick for diners who want French cooking and a more occasion-driven setting.
Electric Diner reads more casual, with a brasserie angle that suits an unfussy meal rather than a City date or business dinner. Lutyens Grill and Millie's Lounge are the smarter cross-shops when the room itself matters and the guest wants a more classic London feel. Choose The Parlour when booking ease and location are the deciding factors.
