5th View

You're standing at the fifth floor of a Piccadilly building, looking out over one of London's most chaotic intersections—except from up here, it's oddly civilised. 5th View does what it says: gives you the view. The menu runs across European-leaning comfort food (think steaks, seafood, proper pasta) without the pretension you'd normally expect from coordinates this central. It's the kind of place where you can genuinely relax, order a decent glass of wine, and watch the city buzz below whilst you eat something competent. Not revolutionary, but thoroughly competent beats struggling with some trying-too-hard concept most nights.
