Outstanding British cuisine restaurant with a Michelin star. An excellent tasting menu of seasonal produce.

Guide to the area
We are located in a very exciting area of London. Steps away from the Tower Bridge, this part of London was a place for the largest warehouse complex in the Victorian London supplying Londoners with tea, coffee, spices and dried fruit. You can find some very famous landmarks of London moments away from your door. Think Tower of London, The Shard, Borough Market and HMS Belfast.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
The nearest tube is London Bridge (around 12 min) or Tower Hill (15 min) - both of the walks provide a scenic view of London.
