Restaurants
Côte (5 minutes). St Martin's Lane. A good-value French brasserie menu for a dependable pre-theatre dinner, and they're used to getting you out in time.
The Palomar (6 minutes). Rupert Street. Buzzy and a bit special without the splurge. It's small and popular, so book ahead.

Chinatown (3 minutes). The other side of Leicester Square, with more options than you can count and plenty that's quick and cheap.

Tom Cribb (30 seconds). Panton Street, a few doors along. A proper old London pub with boxing on the walls, so close you can finish your drink and still be early.
The Coach House (2 minutes). Oxendon Street, round the corner, with a comedy club upstairs. An easy, casual drink when you just want to be close to the door.
Cahoots (10 minutes). Kingly Court. A 1940s Tube-themed cocktail bar for after the show. It's popular, so book at the weekend.
