KFC

This KFC is conveniently located across the street if you’re staying at the W. For what reason I don’t know, because i’d never let anyone I care about grab a meal here.
Aside from the rampant thievery and pickpocketing going on (see image), the food is worse than any KFC I’ve ever eaten at in any part of the world. The chicken is bland and tiny, the chips are bland, and soggy. They didn’t have BBQ sauce and looked at me like I was insane for asking.
To wash down the mediocrity I took my drink up to the counter for a refill, where I was met with an incredulous look for daring to ask for a refill (which, sorry, as a Fat American I didn’t know didn’t exist).

Never thought I’d step into one of these as long as I lived in London. But the man wanted some nuggets before watching the Book of Mormon and we were tight on time.
He picked up a «large» popcorn chicken which may have had 10 bites or so. They were warm but not in the least bit crispy. Like they had been reheated.
Burger King has much better nuggets. Had to visit Cinnabon to get a good taste in the mouth again.

Es ist sehr schmutzig gewesen — Boden, Treppe, Tische, Stühle, einfach alles. Die Toilette war eine Katastrophe. Es standen große Mülltüten für die Abfälle rum. An die Betreiber: Das soll ein Restaurant sein?! Ein Ort, wo man isst?! Schämt euch. Das Essen war wenigstens heiss, aber habe bei KFC woanders schon besser gegessen. NICHT zu empfehlen.

This must be the worst KFC in the UK! Staff lie to you! When we went for breakfast I placed my order then she told me she didn’t have some of the items, then she told me she’d found them and just had a general couldn’t care less attitude! It’s in a tourist area of London so you are a captive audience, so if I could I would give this restaurant minus five stars, but new customers /​tourists will follow without fear. I have spoke to customer service and they’re not interested either, despite the manager in store advising me to ring customer service when I was complaining in the restaurant, which she did not even care to attempt to sort it out with me in the first place. AVOID THIS PLACE,
YOUR MONEY WILL SPEND ANYWHERE!

Went to this KFC while on vacation in August of 2013. It was interesting to see the differences between the US and UK versions. In the UK, sodas did not have ice and some of the menu items are different.
That being said, despite being a tourist area, the service was very friendly and reasonable fast. The prices are the same as in the US, but in Pounds Sterling, so expect to pay 60% higher in actual US Dollars. This equation pretty much held up where-​ever we were in London, so be warned.
Overall a good experience with food we were accustomed to from home.

This place has shut down due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’. This appears to be have due to a fire on the 4^th Feb 2012. There is no indication when it will open again.

the best fast food place with the best chicken, most time friendly staff and quickly served.

One question! When are you introducing the «snack box-​2», u know a snack box bigger somehow, like with an ad on, or do you have that already and I didn’t notice. And don’t forget that was my idea LoL :). seriously though. the snack box was a good idea. great after a night out. I’m impressed with this thing.

Due to its prime location (cornering Leicester Square) there are loads of tourists passing through. On the positive: the food is hot and fresh to order and the staff are friendly (lots of smiles) and helpful. On the negative: Spilt drink on the stairs (not good especially when carrying a tray). Seating areas are not kept as clean as they should (I had to use a few of the ‘freshen up’ wipes to clean the table I found). Food on the floor, unused napkins and chairs placed wrongly. There were also a few flies about.
Saying all the above, I’d probably come back again… but only for take out, certainly not to hang out.

No stars. The food was good, nice moist chicken but they’d run out of paper plates (we ate in) so my husband’s chicken pieces were piled on top of mine and it was difficult to check that we’d been given what we ordered.
After we’d eaten, I went to the ladies’ loos which were completely unusable. Of two available stalls (the other two were occupied), neither had a working lock, one had a broken seat and the other was full of toilet paper and excrement. There was a large deposit of faeces on the seat of this second toilet.
What also concerned me was that the door to the loos was wide open and there was no second door to the actual seating area of the restaurant which I believe is a significant breach of the health and safety code for London.
Ironically, there’s a small plaque just outside the loos encouraging anyone with a «comment» regarding the state of the toilets to tell the manager. When I spoke to the manager as we were leaving, I politely said that the toilets were disgusting and unusable. He said he’d look into it.

Mice, cockroaches and flies found at busy KFC, court hears 29/​10/​2009
Mice, cockroaches and flies were found at one of Britain’s busiest branches of the KFC fast food chain, health inspectors said yesterday.
They also reported evidence of black grease caking bread-​roll containers and trays of raw chicken at the Leicester Square branch in central London.
The allegations were made in court documents presented at City of Westminster magistrates. A court official said KFC pleaded not guilty to all 13 charges. A case management hearing will be held on February 22.

Oh dear, I regret this meal. We (two children and myself) went to see a play in Picadilly circus and it was just about time to eat when we came out. The children voted for KFC. Oh well, it was their treat so we went for it. The ordering was frenetic as you would expect. People waiting for things they had already paid for. All seats taken and mess everywhere. I should own up to the fact that it was a Saturday so this was probably worse than usual. We took our food upstairs and had to wait with it until a massive amount of debris, food and spilled drink was removed (I use the term loosely) from a table. How can people make so much mess? I was regretting having worn my new coat and viewed my plain chicken strips with regret! At the table next to us a man keeled over sending all of his food to the floor. It stayed there for some time.
On our way out my son said’thanks Mum, that was great’.

great after a late night out.
pretty clean but extremly busy after around 8 and crazy busy later (long ques and not very fast service)
idealy placed after a night in the bars,

I love this place, especially for the hot wings. The wings are deep fried in a pressure cooker. This place is located in the heart of London. I recommend going for cheap fast food.

the best fast food place ever the chicken is so nice. the place is clean and well maintained and all the staff are freindly. it is fatty but its ok once in a while.
