Many of these mid-priced bistros, especially in busy areas such as Camden, Soho, London Bridge, Covent Garden, Piccadilly, Mayfair etc..., operate a no-reservation policy. This policy of non booking is designed to streamline the whole process of feeding the maximum number of people. Seats are not left empty waiting for people who may not turn up, but you may expect to be seated within 15 minutes or so, unless the food is really good, in which case the wait may be longer.
