Gaucho at The O2

You're walking into the O2 precinct on Peninsula Square and suddenly you're somewhere that feels deliberately separate from the usual arena hustle. Gaucho does that thing where it takes itself seriously without being insufferable—the sort of place where your steak arrives properly rested and your waiter actually knows what they're talking about. The room's got enough swagger to justify the price tag (expect £45-60 for a decent cut), and the Thames views from certain tables don't hurt. It's the kind of spot you book for an occasion, or when someone's visiting and you want to show them London knows how to do proper meat.
