Skylon Restaurant (Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, London, SE1 8XX) A friend had recommended going to Skylon a while ago but was unsure because of the numerous reviews I had read which didnt exactely hold them in the best light. Anyway, after much deliberation I decided to give it a shot, and I have to say, I had the most wonderful time! Unfortunately we didnt get a seat at the front by the window , but the views were still spectacular especially as the sun set. We had a drink at the bar first, the coctail I had was gorgeous, it was a shame that it was so busy though as we had to stand and drink them, and it did take quite a while to be served. The food though was a dream, Im not used to going fancy restaurants (we sat in the bit with the table cloths), so was slightly intimidated by the menu, but when I dug into it, it was devine. The service was brilliant also, but I guess thats what comes with those sort of restaurants. I would definetley recommend anyone to go there, even if its only for the view!
