Pitch Wharf

You're standing on the Churchill Place terrace with a drink in hand, looking out across the dock while the Wharf's glass towers glint behind you. Pitch isn't trying to be ironic about the golf thing—there's an actual nine-hole course tucked upstairs, but the real draw is downstairs: a proper bar that takes its cocktails seriously, decent food, and enough space that you're not elbow-to-elbow with suits at 6pm. It's the kind of place that works for after-work drinks without feeling like a corporate knees-up, or a weekend thing when you can't be bothered with central London but still want something better than a chain.
