With the award winning Chef Stevie Parle – In general you can dress up or down as much as you like in London and no one will bat an eyelid. The Dock is a perfect example of this concept. Its great for celebrations as the food is fantastic, the restaurant was designed by celebrity designer Tom Dixon and it has a lovely setting on the river but its not at all stuffy so you can also pop in for a casual supper or brunch. It has a terrace so its glorious on sunny days but its still a bit of a local secret so its never crowded. Tom Dixons shop, below is also very well worth a visit.
