Hawksmoor Wood Wharf is housed in an eco-friendly floating pavilion in a new riverside neighbourhood in Canary Wharf. Gently rising and falling with the tide, the main restaurant at dock-level is joined by a 120-seat waterside bar. Both include terraces with views across the water (squint your eyes and you might just see the ghosts of great ships laden with mighty lengths of timber that used to swing in and unload there). There's also a private dining room for up to 20 people named after the local legend Queenie Watts, a singer, songwriter, actor and self-confessed bawdy landlady (think Peggy Mitchell meets Joni Mitchell). The menu revolves around the best British produce the country has to offer with grass-fed dry-aged ethically reared beef, sustainable seafood from the South coast and some of the biggest hits from the Hawksmoor New York menu.

Just the best. Nothing missing, nothing unnecessary, nothing less than perfect. In my opinion St John continues to be the flag bearer for what British cookery is capable of, and the food today was as good as its ever been. Thank you all. Long live St John

This is my second time here and it did not disappoint. One of the best views for a modern tea experience in London! Service is always top notch, entertainment was fabulous, and concierge was both polite and accommodating. I would highly recommend a table for 2 by the window - for larger parties, consider seating where the larger couch seating is positioned facing the view instead of with one&/ back against it.
