Fresh, light, modern, and sophisticated are words that describe both The Light House restaurant in the south London suburb of Wimbledon and its meltingly good Italian fusion cuisine.

Have been to all the iterations of this location for past 15 yrs. This was BEST food by far, but maybe a few teething issues with drink stock. Ran out of champagne and no fizzy water, but other than that it was highly enjoyable. Great place to meet up
