why come up the road

More than the Power Station options.

Battersea's new restaurants are good. Tsunami has been doing one thing very well for twenty-five years. Sushi rolled to order, robata over binchotan, a black cod that lands on every London Japanese list worth reading.

An easy run from the river.

Six minutes in a cab from the Power Station, ten from Queenstown Road. We hold tables for fifteen minutes past your booking time and the bar usually has a few seats for a walk-in.

A room you'll want to stay in.

Walnut counter, midnight banquettes, a cocktail bar running the length of the back wall. Plenty of corners for a quiet two, plus a semi-private space if you bring twelve.
