• International • Canary Wharf

Booked 110 times today

We’ve long loved Canary Wharf and it's rich history of the nearby Docklands and Billingsgate Market, yet Blacklock in a glass tower never quite fit. One look at an old disused warehouse nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf underneath the train tracks of the North Dock and we knew we had found home. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC - a place where, with the blinds rolled down and away from prying eyes, a decadent lunch can swiftly roll into dinner.

Incredible venue - incredible atmosphere. We had the sharing steak at £150 for 1.2kg. The flavour was amazing We also opted for the creamed spinach and onion rings. The baked Alaska easily would serve 4 people. Lacked flavour in my opinion BUT was a memory. The entertainment on a Saturday night is also really worth the service charge. We then went into the vault. A very cool place.

The room was too loud. Maybe you could consider acoustic panels on the walls or the ceiling to make the experience more enjoyable
