London Tavern Hotel

A century-old Richmond landmark with a traditional pub soul, the London Tavern Hotel is the neighbourhood’s go-to for easy conviviality. From the timeless front bar to a cosy dining room and lounge, and out to a lively courtyard and beer garden, it caters to every mood. It’s just the ticket for a bite after a game at the MCG or a relaxed meal with friends and family.

The menu roams with confidence, balancing pub comfort with globetrotting accents. Think golden pub chips with garlic aioli, sticky pork belly bites glossed in soy caramel and brightened by Thai herbs, and a Greek lamb bowl layered with grilled halloumi, hummus and garlic yoghurt sauce, tucked alongside warm pita pockets. There’s birria ramen with slow-cooked beef, balanced by avocado, corn salsa and a lick of jalapeño heat, plus generous shareables like a cheese board or a seafood platter. Classic cravings are well covered too, from chicken parmigiana with Napoli sauce to a porterhouse pub steak and chips.

With indoor and outdoor options and private spaces for every kind of gathering, this homely haven is built for lingering. Settle in for good cheer and hearty flavours, then stay a little longer. Book a table, bring your favourite people, and let the good times roll!
