Fodor's Review:

Located in the Royal Festival Hall, Skylon is the Southbank Centre's destination restaurant/bar/grill. Spacious, attractive, and with huge picture windows with spectacular views of the Thames, Skylon guarantees a classy pre- or post-performance meal in the '50s Festival Hall. Against a background of dancing and music, concertgoers sip lush cocktails at the central bar and dine on lamb and harissa at the grill, or Anjou pigeon, spelt risotto, and sea bass with bok choy in the restaurant. The food is accomplished, and the setting impressive.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

I have eaten twice at Skylon and have been very disappointed with poor quality food (wilting lettuce) and aloof service! I am from London but I live in Tokyo now. I guess I have been spoiled in Tokyo and U.S. This restaurant is not worthy to be in a cultural institution such as the Royal Festival Hall. Bring back The People's Palace!!!
