The best restaurants near London Palladium.

Let’s dive into one of Soho’s hidden gems: Jamon Jamon. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Soho, Jamon Jamon brings an authentic slice of Spain right to London. This charming, independent restaurant has a storied past, beginning as George and Nicky’s at 38 Parkway in the 1950s. In 2001, it transformed into the delightful tapas bar we know today.

The Soho location is a short walk from the Palladium, spread over two floors, and offers a similar welcoming atmosphere. Although slightly off the main road, the entrance is just 10 yards from Charing Cross Road – close enough to be convenient but far enough to enjoy a peaceful meal away from the traffic noise. The name Jamon Jamon, pronounced “yamon yamon,” translates to “ham” in Spanish, a homage to one of Spain’s culinary treasures. In Spain, Jamon is more than just a food item; it’s a cultural emblem, traditionally crafted in local family farmhouses. Each household has its own curing room, or "camara," where the Jamons hang to mature. 

But why the name Jamon Jamon? In Spain, if something is good, then two of them must be superb. The phrase "Jamon Jamon" has come to signify something extraordinary in colloquial Spanish. It speaks of vigour and a zest for life. Who has more zest for life than a tastecard member looking to secure a substantial discount, we ask ourselves?
