The Waldorf was extensively refurbished in 2018. There are no radical changes but everything looks brighter and more comfortable. The bar has been reshaped slightly to run along the back wall, making it longer but narrower. Situated just off the bustling Piccadilly district, this old but attractive building stands quietly tucked away amid the modern office blocks to lure passers-by in. The interior though is of more modern times, yet it gives a feel of provenance with wainscoted walls and a match-boarded ceiling. Mainly open plan (which seems to amplify the piped music), screened-off seating areas (some with sofas) afford some privacy to those wishing it. Can become busy when televised football is on.
