Skylon
Enjoy destination dining at one of London’s top restaurants
Skylon combines modern British food with modernist British architecture – and pops a cherry on top in the form of beautiful riverside views.
Enjoy anything from a pre-concert bite to a three-course meal in the restaurant or take a seat at our stunning bar for drinks including the famous Skylon Martini.
The atmosphere is relaxed but the surroundings are elegant with every detail, from the choice of bronze, walnut and slate materials to the striking chandeliers, chosen to work in harmony with Skylon’s modernist location.
It’s only fitting, as Skylon takes its name from the iconic structure that was built on the South Bank for the 1951 Festival of Britain.
