I can’t speak to your experience, but London is generally an extremely diverse and tolerant city.
As a white British family, we often get turned away from half empty restaurants too.
If you turn up at 12 noon, they will hold the table even if it isn’t booked till 1.30 pm. I wonder how much revenue they leak from this as it seems so obvious to let you take the table on a time limit but they never offer.
I think some are also still running under capacity post Covid and with staffing issues.

Similar to this, I once tried to stay in a hotel by just showing up to the reception desk. They told me they were fully booked. I then found the same hotel on a booking website, booked it on there, showed the hotel my now 'reserved' room then stayed at the hotel the same night.
