An absolutely wonderful place for lunch after touring the Tower Bridge. It is conveniently located right outside the last part of the tour — «the Boiler Rooms». On a beautiful day it is amazing to sit outside and enjoy their fabulous Fish & Chips and an ice cold beer. You sit along the river Thames and have a spectacular view of the Tower Bridge. We took the entire family and the waitress/bartender was amazing to my little ones. She made them their own special drink as my 2 year old really wanted some of my wife’s alcoholic drink! :-) We ate fish and chips at several places during our stay and this was hands down the best. Also got their chicken pizza for the kids and they loved it. Definitely four stars for location, ambiance, service, taste, and value!

My food goal in visiting London was simply to find a great plate of fish and chips. Unfortunately, I tried a few and they weren’t good at all. My fiancée and I stopped in here for lunch after visiting the Tower of London and we were very pleasantly surprised. My fish and chips were absolutely fantastic and I was so happy to finally taste a good plate of them. My fiancée got fajitas and she loved them as well. We got a cider and a local beer as well, both of which were very good. Pair the yummy food with the fact that you get a great view of the Thames and that you’re eating underneath Tower Bridge and you have the recipe for a pretty great meal. I definitely recommend!

The novelty of this pub is it’s location, under Tower Bridge with florr to ceiling windows. Otherwise it’s a nice but fairly standard bar. Staff are helpful. I was fortuante to get there early evening on a quiet day. It made for a very relaxing venue for a glass of wine.

The view was fantastic and the fish and chips were great. I thought this would be a fairly pricey tourist trap but it turned out to be one of our better meals on our trip. They had a nice patio outside with a fantastic view. I thought we would end up with an expensive and tiny plate of fish and chips but they were really good. The price was about 11 pounds which I thought was high but it was a huge piece of fish and nice and buttery and crispy. Their hummus was only ok in my opinion but I haven’t found a good humus plate outside the middle east yet. As a tip, you order inside and they will bring the food to your table outside.

The window seats overlooking the Thames are really the stars of the shows here, you are practically on the river. Service was good and efficient and my rather sloppy(due to guacamole, so I’m not complaining) club sandwich was very tasty although I was starving so perhaps was more inclined to enjoy than usual. Bangers and mash looked really good too though. At around £8 for a main it’s not a place you’d come for lunch everyday but great for a catch up with a friend or if your visit to Tower Bridge has made you hungry.

The location is nice, the view at night is awesome(but oy when you’re having your pint outside). But that’s pretty much it. I find the prices way to high for the low carbonated beer that they serve. Also — if you are sitting close to the windows by the entrance — you really must be tiny and skinny, because it’s almost impossible to take a seat without having to move the table. Everyone is taking pictures of the handle for the Czech lager called ‘Kozel’ — maybe this is the attraction over there. That’s not a bad thing, just found it curious. The bartender seemed nice, but he didn’t do much at all, so the impression there is just general. What I didn’t like most and that’s why they get the 3 stars(I would rather say two and a half, but they get 3 because of the lovely view & the cute Halloween decoration) is thay there is no ashtray outside. I had to walk like 15−20m just to throw my bud in the closest bin. This could be a healthy reminder that smoking is not cool and tolerated, but still — if one is too lazy to walk to the bin and outside there are 10, not 2 people smoking. You can imagine what it would be. To sum up — they have a lot to improve, just need to invest some money and imagination.

We only stayed for one drink. It’s a long, narrow bar with windows that open out onto the Thames and some outside space. The décor is pretty cold — lots of cheap light pine furniture and exposed brick. The redeeming feature is that there are tables at the back which are next to floor — ceiling windows, affording some brilliant views of the river. The bar staff were disorganised, the margaritas were hideous(way too sweet) and although it was busy, there wasn’t a great atmosphere. There’s only so much a fab view will make up for!
