The advantages of private dining in London restaurants are many but include privacy without losing the atmosphere generated by the restaurant itself, the ability to make the most of the chef's talents rather than draft in caterers and the fact that no London restaurant worth its salt would be situated in a hard to reach location. Our guide to the best restaurants for private dining ranges from the smart but relaxed to incredibly upmarket restaurants.
