OK, if you're an American traveling in London and even remotely enjoy Panera Bread in the states, look no further than Pret for your breakfast and lunch! Seriously, your only cheaper option for a healthy bite is the grocery store but since you're in London now forget about your overpriced hotel breakfast and the express grocery and just hit the Pret. Here you can Pick 2 for a $4.99 lunch....sort of the same deal and price point Panera used to be at (many moons ago). Each Pret, and there are a ton around London, has a barista so you can get your caffeine fix here as well. So skip the hotel breakfast and save a ton here. Very, very highly recommend! read more

Pret A Manger - Great Value Lunch for Around $18 USD - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

See all

I like Pret A Manger for its convenience and decent food in a pinch. Their cafe drinks are usually really good as well. I didn't get any coffee or tea at this location, but grabbed a hot falafel and tomato wrap as well as a muesli cup. It was a good quick meal, as I was short on time. Though service was fine, there were a few cons. 1. The seating area could've been cleaner, it wasn't busy or crowded inside. 2. No bathrooms inside. A customer in front of me asked for the bathroom code and the cashier said there are no bathrooms. What? There is definitely seating for at least 40 people inside and there isn't a bathroom? Insanity! read more

Food was always fresh. Prices were reasonable. There were many convenient locations . Cafe was clean. Perfect for lunch.

Food was good. Entrance is not handicapped friendly. 3 steps no handrail to grab to pull yourself up , or to hold as you exit.

I love these shops in London. So different than ours. Sandwiches and coffee and ginger shots - YUM!! stopped here many times on our six day trip. Especially foe the ginger shots Friendly people read more

Pret a Manger is a quick grab n go chain that can be found all around Europe and parts of the U.S. This is a great place to eat if you want convenient and healthy options! This location had plenty of seating and quick service but no restrooms. It's located right next to a Cafe Nero though! We tried the Italian-Style Chicken and Basil Hot Wrap, a toastie (like a grilled cheese), and a Kale and Cauliflower Mac N Cheese. Overall, the food wasn't that flavorful, but it was a relatively affordable stop with diverse options for the family near Trafalgar Square. read more

Was told restaurant did not provide a bathroom after purchasing two coffees & two soups during the London New Year's Day parade. I asked a second time in disbelief "you don't provide a bathroom for paying customers?" I was flatly told no. read more

Pret A Manger - Tomato soup, ham & cheese baguette, green tea, chips etc. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

Similar to starbucks, coffee is decent and some of the sandwhich are too. A good and easy place to stop if you are in a rush.

Whoa! This place is popular! There's literally another location across the street from this one and both were packed! Pret a Manger has the best ham and cheese sandwich...hands down! I never thought I could love a ham and cheese sandwich so much lol. This was my first food stop upon arriving in London and all I could think about was that sandwich for the rest of my trip. The cheese was unique and there was some kind of spread on it as well. The chips were really good too! I never knew what I was missing all those times I've ever walked past a Pret a Manger in an airport. read more

Pret A Mangers are a godsend! This location particularly is awesome! The staff was super courteous to me and gave me a rundown of the area when I asked (lame tourist here). The view from outside is amazing as well since you can see all of Trafalgar Square while enjoying a meal or coffee/tea. It's a great place to stop for a meal. I had the sushi and it was quite decent! Not something that will blow you away, but they certainly got the flavors and mix of veggies right. The ginger was on point and the salmon was light and nicely salted with an awesome fresh lemon. The rice balls were surprisingly good! If you're nearby, definitely grab a bite here. It's a must stop in my opinion since it has a great view of Trafalgar Square. read more

Absolutely rude staff who don't know how to accommodate to customers with different needs

Okay, while this is a chain store, it is one of those chain stores that you only find in England, which is why I am reviewing it (I generally don't bother with Hungry Jacks or McDonalds). As the name implies, it is a place where you purchase pre-packaged food, namely for lunch. I personally can't think of an equivalent in Australia - I could say 7-11, but 7-11 is a takeaway store, and from what I can remember you can sit in here and eat. One thing that did stand out was that the guy behind the counter offered a coffee on the house, and my immediate response was that it must be pretty horrid coffee. Turns out that it was. read more

A great place to grab a quick coffee, snack or sandwich. They have a lot of these around the area, even at the airport. Imagine a quick Starbucks, but I did see it get crowded in the morning. read more

Pret A Manger is like the Starbucks of London. They're everywhere - convenient - fast service - solid food. I love this location because you can grab a snack and a latte and sit in Trafalgar Square to people watch. The staff is very kind and helpful. I wasn't sure what to order and explained what I liked about coffee and cocoa and the barista made a drink just for me! read more

A great quick spot for lunch! Many different salads and sandwiches to choose from, and they're pre-packaged for a quick grab-and-go meal. They also have soups and fruit salads, as well as coffee and tea. There are many places to sit both inside and outside, with a great view of Tafalagure Square. read more

I have many feelings about Pret. Sometimes I'm angry at myself for spending so much money here (I went to a pret almost every other day when I was studying abroad)-- the bread is often mediocre, stale, soggy. But you really can't argue with the ubiquity and the convenience of the place. In other news, the posh cheddar & pickle sandwich is insanely good. Pret, please bring this sandwich to New York. I beg of you. read more

Worst place ever. Don't go if you want to use toilet. No respect to customer. I was using it and locked the toilet room first, of course. Then someone who waited outside for using, after me, cannot wait, call the employer and opened the door while I'm in the room. I shouted and they closed it. But it was scary. read more

Staying in a hotel just off Trafalgar Sq. we hit up this location several times while in town. As others have stated I wish we had something like this in the states. Well, we kind of do if you count 9 day old prepackaged ham and cheese sandwiches at a gas station but Pret A Manger is none of that. Delicious, fresh, convenient, quick, and for this town, cheap is how I would describe them. We popped in to get breakfast, picked up a few items before hopping on the tube for a long ride north of town and even got some take-away items for dinner when eating out got old. Never understatement a night in with a Hoisin Duck Wrap and a bottle of wine from the Tesco across the street. If you are in the area and need a quick bite look no further. read more

My first review in London! And why not review a business that's all over the city, right? Pret A Manger is a cutesy little place that has coffee, sandwiches, and other little snacks for busy Londoners on the go. The prices are very reasonable (for London standards that is) and it's great for something quick. I stopped in to get some change and picked up a snack bar to try. I was only planning on getting one but since I had trouble deciding, the cashier gave me one on the house! Whatta nice guy. I've also had a hot cup of coffee and it was great since it was pouring rain outside. I have yet to try any of their pre-made food but I'll be going to school here for a while so I'm sure it will happen soon enough! read more

There's like 3 or 4 of these Pret A Manger sandwich shops in Trafalgar Square alone. Lots of fresh and healthy selections for pretty decent pricing. A Ham cheese toasted sandwich for about £3 was good enough for me to hold me over for a couple of hours. And since it's right across from the Trafalgar square, just get a seat by the window or in the patio to see all the other tourists do their thing. Floors were dirty on my visit and there are no bathrooms here. Now that's bollocks. read more

5 stars just for the gorgeous view of Trafalgar Square from here!!! We had lunch here before going to The National Gallery across the street. Luckily we got a window seat with a good view of the full square, the Gallery and Nelson's Column. Tried some salmon sandwiches and a vegetarian sandwich, some juice, tea etc. The sandwiches were unbelievably cheap and healthy. I wish we had a healthy + inexpensive chain like this in the US!! read more

EXCELLENT service!!!! Loved the soups, sandwiches & chocolate cookies. Will be back. We went to several locations all great & very clean. read more

What a pleasant surprise! My sister and I were having a hard time finding a good/ relatively priced restaurant to eat while on our visit to London. We opted for McDonald's and Burger King but was pleasantly surprised to find how affordable and tasty pret a manger was! Too bad we found this out the last night of our stay in London! Their chicken and bacon sandwich was very good and well priced for the size! It was only £2.99! A great place for a quick bite to eat! It's everywhere! read more

Love, love, love pret a manager. The best cappuccinos and fresh sandwiches. I wish there was one in Southern California.

Had a nice experience here, good pastries and cappucino. Staff were surprisingly friendly. This is what you need when during sightseeing.

While visiting London, I happened upon this restaurant. They are all over London, and some are in the USA as well. I like the concept of fresh, healthy locally grown fast food. Think Subway done healthy. Nice selection of salads and sandwiches with local items. Friendly service, decent prices. Worth a stop read more

What would a visit to London be without trying out Pret, the city's national sandwich shop. I stepped inside and was instantly taken back to NYC with the same crowds hoovering the sandwich case, salad and soup selection. Grabbed for what was within first reach and followed the lines to checkout. Tomato soup and hummus sandwich was just that, nothing fancy or original, but it did fill me up. Oh, the highlight was the elderflower grape sparkle, so yumm-o. read more

Very over priced, also can't throw a rock without hitting one. The quinoa is good, but hardly worth it.
