Wright Brothers Battersea Power Station

You're walking through Circus West Village, that gleaming new neighbourhood rising from the old Battersea Power Station, and suddenly you've got a proper seafood restaurant with actual character. Wright Brothers does what it does best here—oysters, naturally, but also ceviche, lobster, and fish that tastes like it actually came from the sea this morning rather than a freezer in Walthamstow. The room's got that industrial-meets-polished vibe you'd expect from a power station conversion, all soaring ceilings and architectural bones, but it doesn't feel like a theme park. It's busy without being frantic, the sort of place where you can actually hear your date across the table.
