Skylon Restaurant (Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, London, SE1 8XX) My partner and I chose Skylon to celebrate our anniversay and were impressed with both the views and the knowledge of the staff, particularly the sommelier. I was, however, disappointed to learn that on my recommendation, a friend and her boyfriend had a disappointing visit recently. After reporting sight of a mouse in the dining area, tehy were offered a 20% discount and advised that “it was only a very small mouse” and that these things “should be expected” so close to the river. As much as I enjoyed my visit, on the strength of my friend's experience, I won't be going back.
