The Ivy Tower Bridge
The Ivy Tower Bridge is an all-day British brasserie with an all-encompassing menu serving modern British and international Ivy-inspired classics from dawn until dusk, seven days a week. With its riverside location and views of the iconic Tower Bridge and Tower of London, The Ivy Tower Bridge is the perfect location for guests to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and cocktails.

The restaurant also features an outdoor terrace, a bar and a private dining room on the first floor, offering tranquil relaxed yet sophisticated dining with beautiful views across the river.
Services
The Ivy Tower Bridge dress code is Smart Casual. We are unable to allow dogs in the restaurant. However, Registered Assistance Dogs are of course welcome. The Ivy Tower Bridge has accessible access to the section of the main restaurant situated on the ground floor and restricted access facilities. Unfortunately, there is no accessible access to the first floor.
Due to demand and changes in Government regulations, guests are now able to book our outdoor tables to dine with friends and family outside their household. Please do note that should the weather change, we unfortunately aren't able to guarantee a table inside. We will always accommodate you inside if there is availability but this is not guaranteed.
The Tower Bridge View Room offers private dining with a difference. There's the grand scale of the space, which can cater for weddings and large events alike, and its magnificent marble-topped bar. Then there's the glass wall - an impressive talking point offering panoramic views through of the River Thames across to the City of London and Tower Bridge.
With something for everyone, The Ivy Tower Bridge offers an all-day menu ranging from breakfast through to lunch and dinner including light snacks, sandwiches, a pre-theatre menu and afternoon tea, as well as vegan and vegetarian dishes.

We have a dedicated weekend brunch menu with some delicious alternatives to our mid-week la carte and a drinks menu featuring much loved cocktails, including some classic favourites served with a twist and that can be enjoyed admiring the beautiful view over the River Thames.
Our conservatory bar is located on the ground floor of the brasserie and is decorated with seasonal plants, art-deco style mirrors, colourful vintage prints and locally referenced artwork inspired by Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

The area features a beautiful silk clad and pale orange bar, decorated with antique brass rod detailing, where guests will be able to seat for drinks only, making the conservatory bar a hidden gem next to Tower Bridge and the Bridge Theatre.

Wonderful experience! Service was excellent we had a young lady waitress with plaited dark hair and glasses serve us who was very friendly and attentive. Food was very good, could've been slightly hotter but all in all a lovely visit!

Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Very aesthetically pleasing. The Sourdough bread was fresh and warm, perfect with my duck curry. The curry was flavourful and had the perfect balance of ingredients. Perfect choice of meal. Would love to come back!

We went there to ask for a table and despite it not being busy were told to book online.
Stood there in the lobby and did just that.
Other than this nonsense, all else was wonderful and the food delicious.
Would happily go again (after having booked online)...

We were running super late for the show. And the staffs were very helpful with ordering food. It’s a such beautiful restaurant with lovely view of Tower of London. I wish we had more time there.
The food wasn’t the best to be honest. One of the dish tastes a bit funny but the duck curry is very tasty.
Recommend.

Absolutely brilliant. Our waiter Adam was very friendly, memorable and knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended some nibbles which were delightful, the Zucchini Frittas.
Food was a good portion and good value for money. Although busy, it was not noisey and great for conversation. The ambience was just right and the decor was so so pretty.

The food is delicious, well-portioned, and worth the price. The waiting staff are very attentive. I will say however, that the atmosphere is fast-paced - staff seem very rushed. Maybe not the best place for a quiet meal, but great if you’re celebrating with a group of friends.

Nice ambiance, decent food but not enough vegan and gluten free options for breakfast.
Pretty decor inside and out and lovely location outside Tower of London

4 friends and I came to the Ivy Friday night 5.30pm
Food was amazing but one member of staff, Ella stood out above all others.
Although busy she made time to chat laugh and make us feel really good. I did speak to manager as she really was outstanding.

Absolutely amazing restaurant right next to the iconic Tower Bridge. Attended for my wife’s birthday. We had a lively three course meal. The food was simply amazing and the staff were extremely good and attentive. It was a lovely experience and comes highly recommended. Also, ensure you book if you are looking for a weekend slot.

Beautiful place! Went here with my boyfriend for a late birthday meal. All the staff wished me happy birthday. They were all so lovely. We sat outside and they offer you a blanket and make sure you are comfortable. Couldn't fault the scenery and surroundings. Food was absolutely amazing. Not a problem with anything. My dessert was on the house as part as a birthday surprise. Can't wait to visit again!

I don't get the hype over The Ivy. Very stuffy staff, subpar service, mediocre tea that was overpriced. The view of Tower Bridge and the interior design are the only reason I'm not giving this two stars.

Love the location just the menu is not to my taste. Excellent service. Views of Tower Bridge and a lengthy drinks menu. I had a cocktail with some cute candyfloss on the side of the glass. It was a nice and quite strong beverage. The cream tea was quite nice. With warm. Fresh scones. Strawberries. Jam and clotted cream. My tea of choice was not available. Chosen tea wasn't nice. Cheese souffle and zuchinni fries were quite good.

Actually, not that impressed. Greeted nicely and all that, but then took ages to order drinks, then service was a bit rubbish tbh. Food, my friend said theirs was lovely, but I thought my steak was over cooked. Nice ice cream though
Location is spot on, decor is lush. I would go back with the girls to sit outside and cocktails, would have to be a bit more convinced to return for food.

Amazing location and delicious coffee, tea, and fish/chips. Burger was lacking, but that is not the strong suit of London.

Staff are attentive, tons of wine selection to choose from, and an absolutely amazing view of the Tower Bridge (not London Bridge).

The IVY London tower Bridge



Stopped hereon a Sunday after a day at London Tower and before a Thames River cruise. The feel was casual yet, still felt classy.

We just walked in and were seated at a window seat with a lovely view. We were in the front part of the restaurant and not until going to the restroom, did we realize just how large this restaurant was with ample space in the back. I don't know if you need reservations to secure one of those tables, but either area is nice. The service was great and prompt even though the place was packed. The reception area staff was not as friendly

I had a great experience here! The inside of the Ivy is similar to other ones with bright colors and fun decor. We came here for lunch and did the two course prefix. We were sat by the window where there was a nice view. Service was very attentive. As we were leaving the restaurant was pretty busy! The lunch was a great deal and I ended up picking out a soup and a lamb shank, both of which were delicious. The lamb was perfectly cooked. Overall we had a great time here and lunch was a great deal!

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! I made a reservation here weeks in advance to celebrate my proposal at tower bridge to my now fiancée and made a request for champagne on arrival. The champagne never made it to the table and when I asked the staff about it they were very rude and dismissive. They took my question out on us by ignoring our table for the first half hour before bringing us water or asking what we wanted. We were some of the only people in the restaurant. The food was alright besides some of the fruit flies buzzing around it the entire time we were eating. This place has some nice scenery but there

What an amazing experience! We were running late so we had to push our booking time and they were super accommodating. We put in a request for patio seating. They couldn't give us a guarantee but when we arrived, they gave us the BEST seat of the house. It was a 2 top right as you enter the patio. It was exclusive and away from the crowd, and it was perfect! Of course, to welcome my friend visiting the UK, we did the afternoon English tea and it was perfect! I've had it at another location and it was just as good and best bang for your buck. We also, did the champagne option and actually

I am always most disappointed when a restaurant looks five star, has a five star location and has every ability to be five star by just being; and instead takes the low road and gut shots you with service conceived, planned and delivered by imbeciles.

I sat at a window on the Themes with views of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge at 8:10 AM, intending to have a fast and wonderful breakfast and walk to the Tower for opening at 9AM. It's 9:26AM as I write this. My coffee is cold, my omelette has ham that was salted by a salt company and my crumpet was lukewarm. The servers look like servers

Both food and service are subpar. View is good as it's next to tower bridge. Waiter doesn't speak English well... take a few tries sometimes. Food portion is small and quality is subpar.

The other day I met two ex-colleagues here for lunch, one of whom I hadn't seen for 41 years as he had moved to the SF Bay area and our paths never crossed subsequently till now

The food was pretty much standard Ivy fare, reliable and decent; the wine was also very acceptable...but...

...what stood out was the level of service from the moment you walk through the door

I was early while one of the others was delayed because of a cancelled train. They were expecting me; I asked if I could keep the table after for another meeting afterwards with another ex-colleague (no problem); they recharged
