Westerns Laundry

Discover some of the best seafood in London at Westerns Laundry in Highbury.

Specialising in Spanish and British cuisine, the restaurant’s Mediterranean-inspired exterior, lined with olive trees, sets the tone for a warm, welcoming dining experience.

If you’re wondering about the name, before becoming a top-tier seafood spot, the building served as the laundrette for nearby Pentonville prison. It’s since been transformed into an intimate dining space that blends history with modern elegance, serving seasonal seafood dishes and natural wines.

Stylish yet unfussy, Westerns Laundry has a daily-changing menu full of inventive dishes made from whatever’s caught on the day by its trusted suppliers.

Menu options are handwritten on a chalkboard and typically include cuttlefish croquettes, oysters and tapas style small plates.

Take a seat at the counter or share larger tables with other diners. Be sure to try something from the natural wine collection. In-house sommeliers will recommend the perfect pairing for an intimate and memorable culinary experience.
