Sporting Clube de Londres

I can’t believe I never realised what wonder lie behind this unassuming door to a standard bungalow warehouse overlooking the Heathrow Express tracks.
Glad to finally be invited to travel back to the future and experience a most fun Sunday lunch — Portuguese style. The menu includes a great selection of fresh fish dishes and paella which come with massive side orders of either chips or mixed veg. Everything is fairly basic and definitely not haute cuisine but good value. What makes this place so special is the amazing atmosphere, it feels like walking into a family do in the 70s. We all sang along to the cheesy music and even joined into one round of Bingo.
Not recommended for romantic dinners, but excellent for a light hearted and casual party. Oh, and as the name implies, sport flimmers permanently from various screens.
I was in two minds about even writing a review as this seems to be such a well kept secret …

This place will make you feel like you are on holiday without leaving the country.
It is a very basic warehouse with large flat screen TVs that show sport, a bar area and a restaurant area. The food is all typically Portuguesa as are the owners and the waiters. You will truly feel like you’ve gone to Lisbon for the evening. The décor is very basic but bursting with character and the food is very good, some things more than others. For example the lamb chops are extremely tasty but the beef can be quite chewy.
