Crusting Pipe

The Crusting Pipe Wine Bar and Restaurant is set in the heart of Covent Garden Market, just minutes from Charing Cross, Embankment, Covent Garden and Leicester Square tube stations. You can relax in the covered courtyard and enjoy one of the regular live operatic performances over a glass of wine, or head inside to the bar and dining rooms and escape the hubbub above in one of the many cosy corners.
