The restaurants here draw serious numbers of reviews—Gordon's Wine Bar alone has over 6,000, Maharaja of India nearly 19,000—which suggests these are not casual neighbourhood spots but destinations in their own right. The range spans Indian, Italian, burgers, and wine bars, with ratings clustering around 4.4 to 4.7. Gordon's Wine Bar, rated 4.6 from over 6,000 reviews, and Maharaja of India, rated 4.7 from nearly 19,000, are the establishments with the strongest track records here. 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo and Tortilla Charing Cross both rate 4.5. Gordon Ramsay Street Burger and The Clarence Whitehall sit at 4.4. These are well-tested places with substantial followings. If you are planning to visit Charing Cross for a meal, you should expect a reliable dining scene rather than accommodation or sightseeing. This is somewhere you come to eat and move on, or combine with somewhere else to stay. ## Where to stay in Charing Cross [All hotels in Charing Cross →](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/hotels) [The Clermont Charing Cross The Strand, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/the-clermont-charing-cross) [Citadines Trafalgar Square London 18/21 Northumberland Avenue, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/citadines-trafalgar-square-london) [The Grand at Trafalgar Square 8 Northumberland Avenue, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/the-grand-at-trafalgar-square) [Club Quarters Trafalgar Square 8 Northumberland Ave,br>(adjacent To Trafalgar Square), London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/club-quarters-trafalgar-square) [Page8 - Page Hotels 7 - 8 Saint Martins Place, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/page8-page-hotels) [Z Hotel Trafalgar 53 Chandos Place, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/z-hotel-trafalgar) [The Resident Covent Garden 51 Bedford Street, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/the-resident-covent-garden) [Corinthia Hotel London Whitehall Place, London](https://staycation.co.uk/london/hotels/corinthia-hotel-london) ## Things to Do in Charing Cross [All attractions in Charing Cross →](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions) [The Ghost Bus Tours, London ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/the-ghost-bus-tours-london) [Harry Styles London Afternoon Tea Bus ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/harry-styles-london-afternoon-tea-bus) [London Halloween Afternoon Tea Bus ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/london-halloween-afternoon-tea-bus) [Taylor Swift Inspired London Afternoon Tea Bus ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/taylor-swift-inspired-london-afternoon-tea-bus) [Monopoly London Tea Tour ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/monopoly-london-tea-tour) [Paddington Afternoon Tea London Signseeng Tour ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/paddington-afternoon-tea-london-signseeng-tour) [Paw Patrol London Bus Tour ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/paw-patrol-london-bus-tour) [B-Bakery Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea Bus Tour ⭐ 4.4](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/attractions/b-bakery-peppa-pig-afternoon-tea-bus-tour) ## Where to Eat in Charing Cross(20) [All restaurants in Charing Cross →](https://staycation.co.uk/charing-cross/restaurants) About eating out in Charing Cross Charing Cross has 20 restaurants and places to eat, with 19 of them rated on Google.
