Can anyone recommend somewhere to go for a meal in the afternoon near Somerset House (North side of Waterloo Bridge)please?

My sister is coming over with her daughter and niece for ice skating and then we will go for some food nearby.


The kids are aged:

nearly 3

5

6

11ish.


Plus 4 adults.


I was thinking about Carluccio's in Covent Garden as I think they are fairly child friendly with crayons and stuff. If anyone can think of anywhere else a short stroll from Somerset House please let me know.


Many thanks.

Hello


we went to Sophies steak house in Covent Garden recently - someone suggested it to us. It was very child friendly and they were great with our then 9 month old. We all sat in a circular booth which had mirrors around the top of the seating - a big hit with our son. you don't have to have steak they also do soup and sandwiches etc and have a kids menu.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
