About the restaurant

Blacklock a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Set in an old electricity substation on the site of London"s oldest meat market. We take the best meat in the country from the award-winning farmer and butcher Philip Warren in Cornwall. We cook chops simply over our real charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails that give back and wine on tap in our atmospheric subterranean chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a Sunday Roast almost as good as Mum's.

We have limited spaces for Walk-ins, so we encourage booking in advance to avoid disappointment during busy times.

Fantastic hidden gem…you wouldn’t imagine what a gorgeous restaurant this is from the outside. Beautiful ambience and vibe. The steak and chips were the best steak and chips we have ever had! The whole experience was stunning!! And the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We will be back when in London again!
