Blacklock City
Steak & Chop House near London's Monument Station
When asked what we thought of an old electricity substation set in the basement of a Grade II listed building on the grounds of London’s first meat market in the City of London next to Monument and Bank Station, we knew it was made for us, and Blacklock in the City was born. Here, we remain true to our spirit with the best quality, grass-fed meat in the country for the best value around, but we’ve added a wider menu and a separate cocktail bar, perfect for pre or post-dinner drinks.

CHOPHOUSE & STEAK RESTAURANT IN CITY
Great-tasting food without the fuss
Blacklock is all about doing the simple things well. Generous chops and steaks (and plenty more in between) served with sides made for sharing. As a chophouse and steak restaurant in the historic heart of City, our aim has always been to serve the very best meat our fair land has to offer, whilst staying kind to your wallet.
We work closely with our friends and trusted farmers, the Warrens, to source the very best of British beef, which is carefully dry-aged to deepen flavour. By using the whole animal to make something of everything, we champion great chops and steak at incredible value.
We're on a humble mission to be considered among some of the best steak restaurants in City — somewhere to settle in, make memories, and enjoy great-tasting food with all the trimmings, and none of the fuss.
Sunday Roast City
Almost as Good as Moms (and only available on Sundays!)
Sundays are for slowing down, settling in, and gathering round the table — and Blacklock City takes its Sunday roast seriously. Known for one of London’s most-loved Sunday lunches, it’s all about generous plates, proper cooking, and plenty of time to enjoy it.
Sundays at Blacklock City are treated a little differently. The kitchen switches gears for the day, with meat cooked slowly over open coals and the focus firmly on proper roasts served from lunch through to the evening. It’s a relaxed, all-day affair built around generous plates, seasonal vegetables, and plenty of (unlimited) gravy - a familiar setup for those seeking the best Sunday roast City has to offer.
Group Dining City
Relax with friends or family
Blacklock City is a great spot for group dining, whether you’re getting friends together for a birthday, a celebration, or simply a long, relaxed meal. Tables can be booked in advance, with space always kept back for walk-ins if you’re feeling spontaneous.
For groups of 6–8 guests, the team is happy to help arrange your booking by email, making sure everything’s set up smoothly. Menus are designed for sharing, the atmosphere stays relaxed, and the focus is firmly on good food and good company.
For group dining in City that’s generous, informal, and easy to plan, Blacklock City keeps things simple.
Butcher Price Monday
Why we LOVE Mondays
Unlike some, we’re a big fan of Mondays here at Blacklock City, here’s why…
Our famous Big Chops - think Porterhouse, Prime Rib, Bone-in Sirloin, and Lamb Rump - are served at your local butcher’s price: just £8 per 100g. Think generous, door-stop-thick cuts designed for sharing or indulging solo.
Butcher Price Monday is all about incredible chops and steak at great value. All cuts are cooked to order and written up on the board, then crossed off as they go, so keep your eyes on the prize! No catches, just cut-price chops at a fraction of the usual price.
Available every Monday, all day for lunch and dinner, Butcher Price Monday has quickly become a much-loved ritual at Blacklock City. We always try to keep a few tables free for walk-ins but it does get busy, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy some of the best steak in City at a snip of the price!
Drinks at Blacklock City
Cocktails, wine and beer
While our chefs and butchers champion a whole-animal approach, our bar team embraces a “pip to peel” philosophy, using every last drop of fruit to minimise waste and maximise flavour. The result? Thoughtfully crafted cocktails that are as delicious as they are sustainable, proving that great drinks that do a little good too, make them all the more enjoyable. Perfect for a drink before dinner or a late-night cocktail in City.
Whether you’re after expertly mixed cocktails, locally brewed beers or alcohol-free options that don’t compromise on taste, our Bar Keeps have something for every occasion. We’ve long had a soft spot for Cornwall, with Philip Warren caring for the Blacklock herd and Harbour Brew Co. brewing our beers on the North Cornish coast.
Our wine list is equally considered, with sustainable wine on tap offering a fresher, lower-impact way to enjoy exceptional wines from some of our favourite producers around the world. And while we’re not ones for a Fine Wine or Reserve List we have a carefully curated list of special bottles picked up from many travels abroad and smuggled home for you to enjoy.
