Serious Square Mile weeknights
Filtered for City + Groups + Weeknight, then ranked by journey fairness for your group.
Twelve places in and around the City of London worth staying out for on a weeknight: serious restaurants like Ibai, Cloth and Coq d'Argent, wine bars such as Dave's and Humble Grape in the St Mary-le-Bow crypt, and old pubs like the Jamaica Wine House. Most are a short walk from Bank, St Paul's, Barbican or Farringdon, and most take bookings. Add where everyone is finishing work and FairWhere ranks the list so nobody gets the long trip home.

Some of them hide behind Upper Thames Street and only make sense once you are on the terrace with the river in your face. Others are old gin-palace pubs that do toasties better than half the restaurants do a main. A few are the sort of openings that make you cancel the next morning's 8am without quite meaning to.
This list is for groups finishing from different bits of London who are done pretending Bank is a compromise. Pick the shortlist, add where everyone is starting, and let the journeys decide who actually got the fair deal.
