Tower Bridge Kitchen

Walk down Tower Bridge Road and you'll find yourself in that sweet spot between touristy South Bank and the real Bermondsey—this is where Tower Bridge Kitchen sits, doing honest Med food without the theatre. The room's got a relaxed warmth to it; the kind of place where you can rock up solo for lunch or bring mates for a proper dinner without feeling like you're part of some heritage experience. The kitchen's clearly serious about flavours, turning out the sort of dishes that make you want to come back, not because of where it is, but because what's on the plate actually tastes good.
