Le Pont de la Tour

Le Pont de la Tour has been part of the Thames riverscape at Butlers Wharf for over thirty years — long enough that the restaurant has become as much a Shad Thames landmark as the warehouses and iron walkways that surround it. The location, directly beneath Tower Bridge on the south bank, provides what is arguably London's most dramatic dining backdrop, and the kitchen has earned the right to match it.

The interior takes its inspiration from the SS Normandie, the French cruise liner whose Art Deco interiors defined an era of transatlantic glamour. Rich upholstery, nautical detailing, and a design sensibility that channels 1930s Parisian elegance give Le Pont de la Tour a character that feels earned rather than applied. This is not a themed restaurant — it is a restaurant with genuine design heritage, and the distinction matters when the setting is central to the event.

The Wine Wall and Salon Prive

Le Pont de la Tour's private dining route is an experience in itself. Guests pass through the Wine Cellar, where a glass wall displays over 300 bottles of wine from the restaurant's collection, before arriving at the Salon Prive — a private dining room seating up to 20 at the far end of the restaurant. For intimate corporate dinners, milestone celebrations, and occasions where the quality of the room speaks for the host, the journey through the wine collection to a riverside table is a difficult combination to find elsewhere in London.

Riverside Dining at Le Pont de la Tour

The terrace extends the restaurant directly onto the Thames. Summer months bring al fresco dining with Tower Bridge as an unobstructed backdrop — the kind of setting that earns its reputation with every service. In winter, three firepits transform the terrace into a cosier riverside destination, ensuring the location works year-round rather than hibernating from October to April.

Full venue hire seats up to 150 for dinner or accommodates 300 standing, with the terrace extending summer capacity further. Part of the Evolv Collection and served by classic French cuisine refined over three decades, Le Pont de la Tour is a short walk from Tower Hill and London Bridge stations.
