Plan a visit to Scott's Mayfair on Mount Street, with British seafood, terrace booking rules, opening hours and family dining policies.
Scott's Mayfair is a British seafood restaurant on London's Mount Street, with a history of serving seafood dating to 1851. Its official menu description centres on traditional British fish and shellfish dishes alongside seasonal favourites. The date refers to the restaurant's heritage: the supplied sources do not establish that Scott's has occupied Mount Street since 1851.
This research-based guide uses the official Scott's Mayfair website, checked on 10 October 2026.
Scott's is at 20 Mount Street, London W1K 2HE, in Mayfair. Its official website describes the restaurant as serving British seafood since 1851 and highlights its 175th anniversary.
A supplied photograph from 2005 shows the Mount Street frontage, documenting its presence there at that time. It does not establish when the restaurant moved to this address or confirm the frontage's current appearance.
For planning beyond the restaurant, see Peters Signature's city guides.
The official description identifies traditional British fish and shellfish as the menu's foundation, supplemented by seasonal favourites. That establishes the restaurant's seafood focus, but the supplied material does not include individual dishes or current menu prices.
Planning recommendation: consult the menus through the official website before choosing your meal, particularly if you are looking for a specific fish or shellfish dish. If your party has allergies or needs alternatives to seafood, ask the restaurant directly rather than assuming availability from this broad menu description.

A reservation at Scott's guarantees indoor dining only. Terrace seating is allocated according to the oldest request first, and dining outside carries a £75 minimum spend per person.
That figure is a terrace minimum spend, not a quoted set-menu price or an estimate of the total bill. The supplied source does not state an indoor minimum spend.
Planning recommendation: if outdoor seating matters to you, make the request when arranging your visit, while remaining prepared to dine indoors. Do not treat a confirmed restaurant reservation as confirmation of a terrace table.
