What's the draw: Glamour dining returns to the OXO Tower after a complete renovation to its flagship restaurant, presided over by head chef Jeremy Bloor.

What to drink: As well as a wine list over 1,000 strong (yes, really), make sure you take advantage of the martini trolley – it offers five different variations on the classic cocktail, each inspired by a different era.

What to eat: We had perfectly textured venison served with confit potatoes and pear in a rich, luxuriant Vacherin Mont d'Or fondue. If you want to mix it up, the customisable menu means you can order anything on the menu as a starter, main or a sharing platter.
