    The restaurant is a beautiful Art Deco building at the top end of London Bridge. Fantastic location transport-wise. Tables are well placed to not be crowded. It is not pin drop quiet nor too loud to be enjoyable. Food is very good, with a wide selection of dishes.

    We had a lovely first experience here on easter sunday. The roast was delicious, one of the best we’ve had. Add some background jazz music and it was perfect. The service was excellent, so friendly and welcoming.
