VU from The Tower Menu

1 min read

VU from The Tower sits on the upper foyer of The Tower Hotel at St Katharine’s Way. Large windows frame Tower Bridge, the Thames and the surrounding skyline, making the view an important part of meals and drinks from daylight through sunset.

The food offer stretches across brunch, afternoon tea and signature dishes made with fresh ingredients. Burgers, eggs and small plates support casual visits, while structured experiences give groups and celebrations an easy way to plan a longer occasion.

Afternoon tea brings together finger sandwiches, warm scones and delicate pastries with premium tea. The bar complements the food with house cocktails, wine, spirits and beer, allowing visitors to move naturally from a daytime meal into an evening drink.

Window tables are especially suited to diners who want the landmark outlook, though the rear and upper seating areas retain the venue’s relaxed, contemporary mood. VU works best for dates, catch ups and celebrations where a recognisable London setting matters as much as the menu.

Address: The Tower Hotel, St Katharine's Way, London E1W 1LD, England
