The 31st floor of the Shard is a British-style western restaurant that mainly uses local British food as ingredients. You can go there for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, afternoon tea, or have a drink at the Bar in the restaurant. The dishes are all made from fresh local British ingredients, and the seasoning has been carefully improved. The appearance is very delicate and pleasing to the eye.

The Ivy Tower Bridge is located just below the Tower Bridge. You can take a clear photo with the entire Tower Bridge from the outdoor seating area! It is open all day and provides English breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and cocktails in the evening. 
The restaurant is very luxurious and the meals are not too expensive. Two main courses for two courses are only &pound;17. The meals are exquisite and delicious, and the presentation is also very beautiful. You can enjoy the first row of the Tower Bridge in London. It is worth a meal.

Weiyuan Restaurant is located not far from the Tower Bridge in London. We happened to pass by and checked in at this restaurant. They specialize in Sichuan cuisine and the average cost per person is less than RMB 100, which is quite cost-effective.

We had a lovely dinner. The ambience in the restaurant was very good and makes you want to go again. The staff was great! Luca, Mattia and Fabrizio were amazing and very attentive. Food was fantastic and great selection of wines.
Definitely recommended.

What a great surprise! I had a dinner at Rosa&#39;s Thai and it was amazing! The food was very tasty, the service was quick and the atmosphere/ location couldn&#39;t be better. I&#39;ll definitely go back!

London Card Guide✨,

We had great service including coat check, which I always appreciate at a fine dining restaurant. Got a table by the window. All of food was exquisite and I loved how the server was able to explain each of the items to us in detail. Special mention to the Crème Caramel that was next level. 

Everything we tried on their brunch menu was great, especially Pulled pork Benedict, Salmon Roesti, lobster mac and cheese, padron peppers! I’m also a big fan of shopping local and eating locals so I appreciate their province to plate program and rooftop bees and garden. The prices were in line with other fine dinning restaurants so do keep that in mind.
