The story

Le Pont de la Tour, London – Michelin Recommended French Dining with Thames Views

Le Pont de la Tour, London

On Butlers Wharf, where Shad Thames meets the River Thames, Le Pont de la Tour holds one of London’s most commanding views. Tower Bridge frames the scene from its floor-to-ceiling windows and the riverside terrace, making the restaurant itself a landmark on the South Bank.

The kitchen focuses on French cuisine, refined and ingredient-driven. Menus change with the seasons, balancing classic technique with a lightness that suits the setting. A set lunch is available, and the wine list is carefully chosen to complement the food – bottles worth exploring by the glass or by the bottle.

Private dining is available in the Wine Cellar, an intimate space for gatherings. The terrace, open when weather allows, is a coveted spot for lunch or dinner above the river.

A Michelin Recommended restaurant since 2026, Le Pont de la Tour belongs to the Evolv Collection, a group known for quality hospitality. It is open for dinner and offers table service, wheelchair access, and valet parking. The atmosphere is polished but unstuffy – the kind of place where the river does the talking.
