Well-located gastropub-hotel near The O2 with solid pub classics, creative touches, and friendly service, but inconsistency and strict parking rules can sour visits.
The Pilot delivers solid neighborhood pub dining with satisfying hot dishes like fish and chips and roasts and genuinely friendly service, making it a reliable choice for pre-show meals near The O2. However, uneven execution during busy event nights and isolated but serious food safety concerns prevent a higher grade, while the convenient location and pleasant design don't quite elevate it to destination status beyond concert-goers.
One caveat: Parking enforcement is strict; guests report fines if they forget to re-enter reg after 2 hours
