Tower 42, once the City’s tallest building, has been eclipsed by the Shard, and there is no doubt there’ll be more, taller buildings to follow as London’s skyline continues to expand vertically. The views from Gary Rhodes’s restaurant on the 24th floor are great, with floor to ceiling windows making the most of them.
Rhodes himself doesn’t actually cook here, as that honour falls to head chef Omar Romero, one time trainee with Gordon Ramsay. There’s a good, robust British menu with fillets of beef, roast loin of pork, and squab pigeon; there’s nothing dainty here, but that’s what’s so good about it.
