Restaurant description
A laidback riverfront bar and eatery overlooking the London neighbourhood. Pay homage to one of the world's most spectacular skylines. From a busy lunch setting all the way through to a chilled sunset, have cocktails and dine on the heated terrace with Tower Bridge in the foreground, this is the essential way to "Look at London".
Food and drink is globally purveyed and freshly delivered into the Vicinity to create an ever changing menu which serves the very best from world classics to street food inspired plates, including a range of pizzas, sandwiches, salads and platters, accompanied by a selection of cocktails, grand Champagnes (some by the glass), fine ales, steins and elegant wines. With a drink in hand gaze out on the sights of London, if you're lucky you can grab a seat next to a warming and flickering fire pit.
The Vicinity bar offers a great range of beers, an exciting cocktail list with classics and quirks, and a perfectly formed wine and spirit list.
On the water’s edge at St Katharine Dock, Vicinity in London is great for exploring the city’s historical landmarks. Tower Hill Tube Station is around a 10-minute walk away.

Best feature of this restaurant is the amazing location overlooking Tower Bridge, all lit up at night. It was a perfect treat for my friend's 60th birthday. The menu is rather limited but we enjoyed the steaks and the staff were brilliant in providing a personalised birthday desert for my friend. Service was very good and also friendly.

Hi, we celebrated my 14 year old and her 14 friends plus adults and we all had a wonderful time. Food was great, served well and on time, the service was very thoughtful, brought out the birthday cake which we ordered and served to us all, blankets provided for those feeling a little colder sitting outside, wonderful atmosphere

I had the afternoon tea, it was lovely. It was certainly needed as it was refreshing to come in out of the cold and rain. Tamara my server was lovely, a real delight.

We had a reservation for a Champaigne Afternoon Tea. Even so we had to wait over 10 minutes for our table, i think they did not have us on their list. It was very disorganized and bit chaotic. Beutyful view of Tower Bridge and nice atmosphere. Limited tea selection, just regular supermarket tea in bags. The Champaigne was tasty. Selection of sandwiches was good. The scones were dry but the cream an jam were nice. The cakes had no flavour. Friendly service.

Two friends & I thoroughly enjoyed our Afternoon Tea over looking Tower Bridge. Our waitress was attentive & helpful & we felt blessed that we were not hurried out after we had finished the divine sandwiches & sweet treats! We felt very spoilt & relaxed!

The best bit was the ambience: The sandwiches were nice apart from the cheese one which was plain. The scones were dry but the cream and jam were nice. The lemon tart and fruity moose was delicious but the other cakes had no flavour. We had to make the tea ourselves which I found disappointing as it wouldn’t have taken someone 2 seconds to have done that and made the experience better. The view on the website was ruined by all the stools in front so do not go for this. It was reasonably priced for central London but other restaurants do afternoon tea better for the same price.

Went for afternoon tea. Excellent value, coffee and tea both good, and food as stated on menu. Staff very friendly and being a non meat eater was catered for in the sandwiches which was bonus.
