Some do tip it as “a great place for a special occasion”, but the slightly cheaper section of this Art Deco landmark is rated almost as poorly as the (more expensive) main dining room. Here, “very average food” is served in a space that’s “incredibly noisy and crammed”, leading to an experience that can seem “stale and poor”; and with a hefty price tag too.

“Splendid views, especially from the balcony” are the saving grace of this brasserie, in the well-known Art Deco landmark building on the South Bank. Food and service have been so-so more or less since day one, but that hardly seems to matter – it still gets “very busy”.

“Why can’t they get it right?” in the cheaper section of this South Bank landmark. “The view is superb, the setting is relaxing… if only the food lived up to it”.

"Have not been to the OXO tower for some considerable time so it was great to go for a pre-Xmas lunch date. We were fortunate to have a table right by the windows overlooking the river which frankly is still one of the best restaurant views to be had in London. Food was good if not exceptional and the service was efficient."
