Quo Vadis has stood on Dean Street for around a century, and the building was once home to Karl Marx. Today its bright dining room, with stained glass and red banquettes, is known for chef Jeremy Lee’s seasonal British cooking, from pies to the celebrated smoked eel sandwich. Upstairs is a private members’ club; the restaurant is open to all. Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square are the nearest stations.
