Blacklock Soho

Blacklock at 24 Great Windmill Street in Soho W1 is a modern chophouse in a basement that was formerly a brothel and later a notorious lap-dancing club. The Good Food Guide describes it as channelling the spirit of London's old chophouses with a trendy spin: dark panelling, parquet floors and bare wooden tables set the scene for charcoal-grilled meats sourced exclusively from butcher Philip Warren in Cornwall, "which guarantees naturally reared, grass-fed quality — whether we're talking about lamb T-bones, pork ribs or bone-in sirloins." The £27 All In sharing deal brings a stack of different meats on herb-flecked chargrilled flatbreads. OpenTable has 6,738 reviews. The most-mentioned Sunday roast on TripAdvisor in London. Cocktails at Blacklock are made to give back: a portion of proceeds from every drink goes to charity. Ex-Hawksmoor chef Gordon Ker founded it.
