No matter your dining tastes, the restaurant district around Tower Bridge is sure to accommodate you, from the very English offering of ‘fish and chips’ to something a little more exotic, all you need to have is a general idea of what you would like to eat. Here is a small sampling of some of the best restaurants you will find around Tower Bridge.

Butlers Wharf Chophouse

Labeled as the quintessential English affair, patrons of Butler’s Wharf Chophouse rarely go away unsatisfied. The restaurant overlooks the Thames with a gorgeous view of the Tower Bridge and with a generous smattering of classic British dishes, the evening is sure to be something special. Butler’s Wharf Chophouse is open every day for breakfast and dinner. Some of the signature dishes you’ll find on the menu at Butler’s include beer battered fish and chips, spotted dick, and steak and kidney pudding.

Constancia

For something a little out of the ordinary, you can check out Constancia, which offers native Argentinean cuisine for a truly one of a kind experience. Patrons of Constancia describe the restaurant as airy and meaty because of the smells that waft from the cookers in the kitchen. If you have never had traditional Argentinean cuisine, you’re in for a treat. Constancia is open for dinner and lunch and features reasonable pricing with a great menu.

Le Pont de la Tour

For upscale French cuisine, you could ask for no better place to enjoy a good meal than Le Pont de la Tour. The menu is by far the most expensive of the three restaurants on the list, but if you are craving superb food with an absolutely fabulous view, Le Pont de la Tour is second to none. Serving both dinner and lunch, the restaurant is extremely busy, so if you feel as though you would love to have a meal, it is strongly suggested that you make reservations online in addition to your trip planning.

Tower Bridge Antiques

There is something enchanting about antiques. It is amazing to think that one item; one seemingly small and insignificant object from a Victorian house can hold so much mystery and magic and feel like much more than modern items that have the same function. The excitement that can be brought about by a small china cup that derives from the turn of the 20th century can’t be replicated anywhere else. As a species we are fascinated by our history; programmes such as Time Team are ever popular and there are numerous recreated towns and villages designed to show us what life was like for our ancestors. A discovery of a piece of our history in the earth can be heralded with the same anticipation and excitement as a penalty shootout in the world cup final. When you visit an antique shop and buy an item it is very unlikely that you will use it regularly; you will more than likely use it as a showpiece; your little bit of history that allows you to cling onto your roots in an age where everything is rapidly modernising.

Where better to buy items of historical significance than close to Tower Bridge; one of the most historically significant places in London? The antique shop has a wide array of different objects that will satisfy even the most picky of people. You can buy anything from cups to chests of draws, each of them with a history as enriching and exciting as our own.
