From the very top of the Eye you can nearly see your meal being prepared at Porters, well you could if the Houses of Parliament, The Thames, Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and Alexandra palace weren't such a pleasant distraction!

Porters is only 10 minutes walk away and brings you nicely into the heart of Covent Garden, where afterwards you can walk off your meal, meandering among the street performers or markets.

Today, the London Eye has become, quite literally, the way the world sees London. It is one of the most spectacular and popular attractions in the world, drawing visitors from far and wide. Its success is unquestionable, as is its popularity with tourists and Londoners alike. Yet it was conceived, designed and built against considerable odds. Of all the remarkable facts about the London Eye, perhaps the most astonishing is that it was ever built at all. It is one of London's few attractions that enjoys a significant portion of repeat business, say no more.

Porters English Restaurant, less than 10 minutes walk from the London Eye in the heart of Covent Garden's theatreland is famous for serving excellent homemade real English food. Porters best sellers include Steak, Guinness and Mushroom Pie, Wild Boar and Sage Sausages, Salmon and Prawn Fish Cakes, not to mention wonderfully calorific puddings like Steamed Syrup Sponge and Spotted Dick. A choice of either starter and maincourse or maincourse and pudding from Porters table d'hote menu is included.

Porters is open everyday from 12 noon until 11.30pm (10.30pm on Sundays) Your reservation can be made at any time.
