Shakedown, nestled in the vibrant Tower Bridge area of London, is more than just a Cocktail Bar, Espresso Bar, and All dining restaurant. Back in 1905, our hotel served as a bustling police station, and the restaurant floor was home to 22 holding cells in the basement, each holding a story of its own.

Very nice afternoon tea, scones were particularly good. The choice of an alcoholic or non-alcoholic cocktail was a nice touch. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

The people were very friendly but our first server left the didn’t pass us on to another server. We had to seek out additional drinks and the bill. Otherwise the food was fantastic and the overall place is great! This seemed like a one time gaffe. I would definitely return.

We had a lovely time here. The food was delicious, and the service was good. Despite its proximity to the busy Tower Bridge area, the atmosphere here was peaceful.

Service was very slow, we waited 20 minutes for our drinks order to be taken. We then waited an hour and ten minutes for our food to arrive. When we received the bill and mentioned we wouldn't be paying the service charge the waitress was a bit off putting and a little rude. Wont be returning here!

No atmosphere, apart from one other table, we were the only people in there at 7pm on a Friday night. Awful menu for theatre menu that said it included Prosecco, but we were told it didn't. Never again
