• International • Canary Wharf

Booked 126 times today

We’ve long loved Canary Wharf and it's rich history of the nearby Docklands and Billingsgate Market, yet Blacklock in a glass tower never quite fit. One look at an old disused warehouse nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf underneath the train tracks of the North Dock and we knew we had found home. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC - a place where, with the blinds rolled down and away from prying eyes, a decadent lunch can swiftly roll into dinner.

What's the best experience to do in London? An afternoon tea, of course. I went to the Westin London city hotel and I absolutely loved the Christmas in the woods afternoon tea. Special mention to the citrus and dill mayonnaise infused Cornish crab on a mini bun and the scones freshly baked. The hotel was so nice with the Christmas decorations. The tea was excellent and the staff very attentive and helpful.

Incredible venue - incredible atmosphere. We had the sharing steak at £150 for 1.2kg. The flavour was amazing We also opted for the creamed spinach and onion rings. The baked Alaska easily would serve 4 people. Lacked flavour in my opinion BUT was a memory. The entertainment on a Saturday night is also really worth the service charge. We then went into the vault. A very cool place.

Always an Impeccable Experience CORD by Le Cordon Bleu never fails to impress us! From the moment we walked in, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were fortunate to be seated at the chef’s table, where we had the privilege of watching the impeccably skilled kitchen staff at work—it was like witnessing culinary artistry in motion. The attention to detail in both the food and presentation was outstanding, with every dish showcasing creativity and precision. The flavors were beautifully balanced, and the entire experience felt truly special. We can’t recommend this gem highly enough for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!
