Fodor's Review:

Long a London landmark to the insider, the art deco-era Oxo building has graduated from its former incarnations as a power-generating station and warehouse into a vibrant community of artists' and designers' workshops, a pair of restaurants, and five floors of community homes. There's an observation deck for a super river vista (St. Paul's to the east and Somerset House to the west), and a performance area on the first floor, which comes alive all summer long—as does the entire surrounding neighborhood. All the artisans expect you to disturb them whenever they're open, whether buying, commissioning, or just browsing. The biggest draw remains the Oxo Tower Restaurant for a meal or a martini.
