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.

Everything about the experience was great, from our hostess to our waiter. Food was all outstanding, and for the quality of it, the value was insane! This was recommended by a friend and I would pay that forward for anyone else visiting London and looking to enjoy a beautiful meal in an inviting setting that feels comfortable and relaxed.

What's the best experience to do in London? An afternoon tea, of course. I went to the Westin London city hotel and I absolutely loved the Christmas in the woods afternoon tea. Special mention to the citrus and dill mayonnaise infused Cornish crab on a mini bun and the scones freshly baked. The hotel was so nice with the Christmas decorations. The tea was excellent and the staff very attentive and helpful.

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.

A very enjoyable afternoon tea for my three sisters and me for my youngest sister’s 50th birthday. We loved the decor, friendly relaxed service and atmosphere. We stayed for drinks before going to ABBA Voyage and felt very welcome. We intend to return with other family members in the near future.
