Popular areas for hospitality work include Soho, Covent Garden, Mayfair, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf, South Bank and the City.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Hospitality jobs are there in London?

There are hundreds of hospitality jobs available across London at any one time, covering everything from entry-level front of house work to senior hotel and restaurant management. Recruitment tends to move particularly quickly around new venue openings, major events and the busiest parts of the year.

Hospitality jobs are spread right across the capital. Central areas such as Soho, Covent Garden and Mayfair have a huge concentration of restaurants, hotels and bars, while Shoreditch, Canary Wharf, South Bank and neighbourhood dining areas across North and South London all have strong hospitality scenes of their own.

Hospitality gives you plenty of room to move around. Someone starting in waiting or bar work might later move into supervision, management or guest experience, while hotel staff can branch into areas such as reservations, events and operations. Your experience often transfers more easily between roles than you might expect.

Hospitality jobs form part of the hospitality and catering industry, but London makes that definition especially broad. Alongside restaurants, pubs and hotels, the sector includes members’ clubs, event venues, contract catering, luxury hospitality and some of the country’s biggest entertainment destinations.
