Fiume

Battersea Power Station's transformation from industrial landmark to London's newest destination has given the riverside a string of new restaurants. Fiume is the one that feels most like it belongs on the water — an Italian kitchen with piazza terrace, Thames views, and Amalfi-inspired menus that make sense of the setting rather than ignoring it.

Italian Riverside Dining at Fiume

The restaurant's character comes from combining open-kitchen energy with Mediterranean warmth: blue sofas, wooden surfaces, a traditional pizza oven, and a cocktail bar built around Italian aperitivos. It's relaxed enough for a Friday team lunch and polished enough for a private celebration. The terrace — 40 seated overlooking the river with the Power Station behind — is where the venue truly earns its location.

Fiume for Private Events

Private hire takes the full venue to around 100 seated or 140 standing, while groups of 12 or more can book semi-private sections within the restaurant. The events team handles everything from table plans to bespoke menus, drawing on seasonal Italian cooking and a wine list that balances Italian with English varietals.

Fiume at Battersea Power Station

With the Northern line extension now delivering a Zone 1 connection via Battersea Power Station tube, the area's accessibility has caught up with its ambition. For event planners exploring South London riverside venues, Fiume offers something different from the established SE1 strip — Italian character, a genuine terrace, and the backdrop of one of London's most iconic buildings.
