After touring the Tower of London we were hungry and although there are a couple of take out eateries right next to the Tower that looked good, we wanted an indoor seating area. We stumbled upon this eatery.
With the Tower ticket you get a discount on the fish and chips plate (includes a soft drink).
The staff was friendly and the food was pretty good.we had a good lunch in order to continue sightseeing.
Try it!

Good little spot to rest and have a break from the crowds visiting the Tower of London.  There is outdoor seating (simple table and chairs) and they do serve beer (because how can you have fish & chips w/o a beer?!). :)

Pretty standard fare. Not as much of a tourist trap as I thought it would be, being across from the Tower of London. The fish and chips come with a very large piece of fish and generous amount of fries. Get this takeaway if you can, since it is half the price of eating it sit down. Since we were looking for a place to rest our weary feet after spending many hours at the Tower, we opted to eat in. We tried the peri peri chicken, peri peri chicken burger, regular beef burger, and the chicken and mushroom pie. Prices are a little high but not too extreme, and they're cash only, so keep that in mind.

Came here with my husband for a bite to eat before checking out the Tower of London. The diner's located in a veritable tourist trap, surrounded by shops peddling royal wedding memorabilia, postcards featuring Princess Diana and the Queen, sweatshirts, plates, and the like. It reminded me of a similar complex in Cannery Row which sells Monterey items.
 My husband ordered the fish and chips, and I ordered a tomato and cheese sandwich with fries. Our waiter was friendly, our food was delivered promptly, and we felt very comfy. The food was fine--nothing spectacular--but it definitely held us over for our visit to the Tower of London.

A nice, inexpensive lunch very close to the Tower of London.  We got the Fish and Chips Take Away Special.  It was quite tasty!  There was some seating available outside.  I would visit again!

We stopped into this diner for a bite to eat after touring the Tower of London.  We ordered the Fish and Chips and were impressed by the large piece of fish and amount of fries.  The restaurant is casual with seating on benches at tables.  They only accept cash so you need to be sure to have enough on hand. The take out price (7) was half the price of sitting inside (12) the diner.  We paid the extra to sit inside because we were tired, but the cost was a bit pricey for the amount you got. The location is handy but that's about all.

Over-priced and awful food £7 for a basic (flavourless) cheese burger and under-cooked chips and £2.95 for a can of coke/fanta .......... yes folks, that's £2.95 PER CAN. Our waitress didn't even pour it out, all we got were 4 unopened cans and 4 glasses.  

The restaurant doesn't take any method of payment other than cash - I wonder why that is??????

Definitely not to be recommended, if this is the best we can do to serve hungry tourists (and I'm British - who happened to be showing a couple of American friends around town) then we should be embarrassed, I was - this is a truly awful restaurant and should be avoided at all costs.

Recipe for a Hungry Tourist: English fare adventure! (Fish & Chips)
  
INGREDIENTS:
1 - Hungry Tourist eager to sample traditional English fare
1 - American friend residing in England serving as tour guide
1 generous helping- Ambience.                                 A dollop - Price
3 heaping tablespoons- Food Quality & Flavor.       1/2 cup-Accessibility
2 ounces (minced) - Customer Service

DIRECTIONS:
Take 1 hungry tourist and 1 American friend residing in England and set off on a culinary and cultural adventure in a London melting-pot.
Combine a generous helping of hunger and curiosity. 
Pour a 1/2 cup of accessibility to nearby sights such as the Tower of London, literally a stone's throw away. (Note: The other half portion of accessibility not added due to lack of wheelchair ramp and restaurant is at bottom of flight of stairs. Apparently, this is common in European countries.)
Add 2 ounces of customer service sprinkled sparingly during busy lunch hour. Once seated comfortably, preferably in one of their cozy sofa "booths" stir in a heaping tablespoon of patience as service is as slow as the flow of molasses on a cold London day.
Place order for the fish and chips house special which includes a pint of Lager! Toss in a dollop for price of food. Cost of anything in England is generally a "dollop!" But, ordering this house special will help reduce this amount to 1/2 a dollop. 
Take an order of fish and chips, drizzle malted vinegar and house tartar sauce and add 3 heaping tablespoons of food quality and flavor! Toss back lager and pepper in a wide smile. 
Knead in a generous helping of ambience and sprinkle evenly with laughs and reminiscing between 2 long-time friends, stirring occasionally. 
 Best when served warm... Cheers! 

(Note: I would have given them 3 and 1/2 stars if "Yelp" had "1/2" star capability. Also, this page says they accept credit cards. Not so... When we went, the server was kind enough to inform us that they accept "cash only". That was helpful. Glad we did have cash on hand. It would've been embarrassing otherwise.)

My 7 year old nephew had a cockroach on his pizza. The owner offered us a free meal but I think not!!!
I contacted Tower Hamlets Council and they will be getting a visit from the Enviromental Health Officer shortly. 
This place caters for tourists so they probrably dont have regular's... I certainly will not eat there again. Shame really as the other meals we had seemed reasonable. If they had given me my money back I would have been happier about the whole thing.

My family and I were very excited to try fish and chips since we were visiting from the US. The only reason I'm giving them even one star is because the food was good. The service was terrible. No one greeted us once we were sat for at least ten minutes. Our server took so long to get us water, and our food came out before we all even had water. Our food was good, once it got here we realized not all of us even had forks, and since our server seemed to never stop by our table, we resorted to sharing forks in order to eat. We had to flag her down after we were sitting there for 20 minutes after we'd finished eating for our check, and then we had to look for her again after putting down our card. She then told us that they were only accepting cash and that whoever sat us told us that, which was false. None of us had cash, and she just said (rudely) oh well you have to go to an ATM. Luckily we found one easily but they really should have been more careful. My sisters tried to use the bathroom before we left, and it was so gross that we decided not to use it. There was urine on the floor and looks like it hadn't been cleaned in forever. It completely ruined the experience of getting fish and chips in London for us. Stay away.
