74 Charlotte Street by Ben Murphy

In the heart of Fitzrovia, close to Goodge Street, 74 Charlotte Street is a confident, modern neighbourhood restaurant with a strong culinary pedigree. The kitchen is led by Ben Murphy, long associated with the much-loved Launceston Place, where he built a loyal following for his precise, classically grounded cooking.

The food here is contemporary and assured, shaped by traditional technique but designed for how people like to eat today. Dishes are elegant without fuss, confident rather than showy, and equally suited to a relaxed midweek supper or a longer, more considered meal.

Many diners will recognise the address itself. The restaurant occupies the former home of Mere, the previous Fitzrovia restaurant by Monica Galetti, giving the space a familiar place in London’s dining landscape.

Designed by Chris Bagot Architects, the interiors mirror the cooking: warm oak finishes, soft curves and light-filled rooms that feel polished yet entirely comfortable. The bar is an integral part of the experience, encouraging lingering and repeat visits, while the dining room maintains an easy, lively rhythm.

74 Charlotte Street sits within the WSH Restaurants collection, alongside The Clock Spire, The Woodspeen and The Braywood — a group known for combining thoughtful cooking with assured, guest-led hospitality.
