Busy Italian restaurant just a few steps away from Westminster Bridge and the lastminute.com London Eye.
The food on offer is responsibly sourced and reasonably priced for its central London location. The Italian menu is classically focused - think Pollo Milanese, Linguine di Mare and Paccheri with Tuscan sausage. There's also a choice of stone-baked pizzas, and many of the dishes on the menu can be prepared as gluten-free.
In the mornings, the caffé bar opens from 8.30am and serves up a great range of freshly baked pastries, artisanal coffee and a choice of focaccia sandwiches right through the day.
On sunny afternoons the terrace that opens onto the pedestrianised Forum Magnum Square is a great spot to sit and linger with an Aperol Spritz. Newbies take note: the place gets busy on weekends, so book ahead!
This year's festive set menu at Locale offers a three-course Italian feast with classic crowd pleasers - perfect for when you're planning the office Christmas Party and need to cater for everyone.
Choose from starters such as Caprese salad or Scottish smoked salmon, followed by traditional roast turkey or pan-fried sea bass fillet or keep things classic with Locale's signature duck ragu. To finish, dessert options on the set menu include panna cotta, homemade brownies or Christmas plum pudding with brandy sauce. The festive set menu costs £35.95 per person.
