About East Lane

A stylish Kingston Hill bistro billed as the neighbourhood's melting pot of the East, serving Thai, Korean and Vietnamese sharing plates with proper cocktails.

Perched on Kingston Hill near the university and Richmond Park, East Lane is an intimate independent bistro built around Southeast Asian sharing plates: Thai street-food snacks, Korean grills and Vietnamese hawker classics, all designed to be passed around the table. The cooking is bold and modern, the room warmly lit, and the bar turns out lively cocktails to match. Dinner-focused midweek with relaxed weekend lunches, it's a welcome grown-up option in southwest London away from the chains.
