Le Pont de la Tour is an established riverside restaurant at Butler’s Wharf, with more than thirty years of hospitality beside the Thames. Its setting in the shadow of Tower Bridge combines a polished dining room with one of the area’s most recognisable waterside views.
The kitchen centres its menus on classic French cuisine, seasonal ingredients and fresh seafood. Guests can expect refined starters, carefully cooked fish and meat, traditional desserts and changing dishes that bring a contemporary touch to familiar French flavours.
Wine is an important part of the experience, with a substantial list designed to complement both seafood and richer main courses. The adjoining bar also serves Champagne, cocktails, coffee and lighter snacks, making the venue suitable for anything from a relaxed drink to a complete meal.
The restaurant terrace offers outdoor dining with sweeping views across the river to Tower Bridge, while the indoor spaces provide a more formal atmosphere. Sunday lunch, group dining and private events extend the restaurant’s appeal beyond everyday lunch and dinner reservations.
Address: 36D Shad Thames, London SE1 2YE, United Kingdom
