The Golden Hind is a good bet in that case. It's in Marylebone which is north of Soho but an easy walk.
Very good quality fish n chips. It's a BYOB (bring your own booze) place, so if you want to enjoy the food with some wine then just stop at a nearby off-licence on the way.
I can't think of anywhere in Soho I'd recommend for that.

The only downside are the very long lines at night, particularly when it's cold or wet, though there is a pub across the way

Soho isn't really a Fish & Chips sort of place. Lots of great restaurants but definitely at the modern end of the cuisine spectrum. Barrafina is great - have a look at the website/reviews to see if it's your kind of thing (Spanish-style small plates, NOT tapas ) - and should be no problem getting a seat in good time if you're on your own.

I go to Seafresh on Wilton Road, which is near Victoria Station. I take either the large haddock with small chips or the plaice with small chips. If there are two of you, one medium chips is probably sufficient to share.
They have both a table-service restaurant and a take-away side.

Is there any consensus on Hook in Camden?
It was recently featured on a Food Network show in the US. Not traditional by any means (use of panko breading, etc), but if sounded interesting.

It has been four years since last time I went to London, but the Masters Super Fish on Waterloo Road (on the block after the Old Vic) was very good. It was a very basic place, most patrons work at or near Waterloo Station, including Taxi drivers / Rail workers (and consequently at walking distance from the London Eye).

I'm also a fan of the Golden Hind, but my current favorite is Kerbisher & Malt, which has several locations around London all of which are pretty far west. They apparently now have a location near Exmouth Market called Kerbisher EC1, which I haven't been to.
