The story

74 Charlotte Street London | Modern British Dining in Fitzrovia

The Chef and the Kitchen

Opening in October 2025, 74 Charlotte Street London serves modern British cuisine from head chef Ben Murphy. The kitchen draws on his training at Launceston Place and Michelin starred venues across London and Paris. Murphy took over the former Mere site to establish his own project. His approach pairs classical technique with a lightness of touch and seasonal produce.

The Room and Ambiance

The Fitzrovia dining room balances chic styling with a distinctly playful energy. Good music runs through the space while large windows frame Charlotte Street. The design deliberately avoids stuffiness to keep the atmosphere welcoming and inclusive. An hourglass logo sits on the walls, reminding guests that time remains the most valuable ingredient.

Drinks and Hospitality

The bar operates separately from the main dining floor but shares the same relaxed ethos. Mixologists craft characterful cocktails using spirits chosen for their intrigue rather than trends. A curated wine list leans toward lesser known producers that pair well with the modern British seasonal plates. The venue earned a Readers Recommend award from The Good Food Guide largely because staff maintain this steady pace of genuine hospitality.
