How To Submit a London Restaurant Review

Have you eaten at a London restaurant or cafe you would like to recommend? Or have you been unfortunate enough to have had a bad experience in a London restaurant? Then tell us all about it! Here's how to submit your London restaurant review.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 30 minutes

Here's How:
  1. Have a look at some of the reviews already available at: Guide Reviews. Choose a star rating out of 5 with five stars being the best (you can choose half stars, e.g. 3.5 stars).


  1. Write the Bottom Line
    This is a one or two sentence summary of the restaurant and your review.
  2. Write the Pros and Cons
    We'd like to see at least one Pro and one Con but you can choose up to five of each. Pros are obviously the key good points and therefore Cons are the key weak points.
  3. Hotel Contact Details
    We need the full name and address of the restaurant - their web site should have these details - but if they're not on the web please let us know their address and telephone number.
  4. The London Restaurant Review
    Write a 150-250 word review of your visit to the restaurant or cafe. You must have eaten there yourself and as reviews sent in by owners, employees, or affiliates will not be published. Tell us what was unique about the restaurant (i.e. kangaroo on the menu!) and try and justify your opinions; don't just tell us it's good, we want to know 'how?' and 'why?'.
  5. Photos
    If you took any photos that you think would enhance your review then please send them in. Firstly, save your photo as a .jpg. The maximum width of the image should be 200 pixels (or about 2 inches or 5 cm). Use resize or resample in a photo editing or graphics package to do this.


  1. The overall file size should be no larger than 25KB, ideally no more than 20KB. Scanning your photo at 72 or 100 dpi (dots per inch) will help keep the file size small. Web pictures don't need a higher resolution than this. If you're using a digital camera, set it on the lowest resolution. Also check if your photo editing program has a "save for web" option; that's the easiest way to get a small file size.
  2. Email your review (and photos) to golondon@aboutguide.com and put London Restaurant Review Submission in the subject of the email. Please include:
    • Your restaurant review following the guidelines above
    • Your photo(s) following the guidelines above
    • Your full name
    • A sentence stating you have read the user agreement and understand that a restaurant review and photo submission does not guarantee that the review and photo(s) will appear on the About London For Visitors site.
    • Cut and paste this bold text at the end of your email:
