About Skylon

Skylon’s triple height picture windows provide panoramic views along the river.

Skylon captures the creative energy and excitement of London in the 21st century.

Helena Puolakka is one of the shining stars among female Head Chefs. Her lightness of touch and love of presentation, as well as her Finnish origins- come to the fore in the main restaurant, all day dining in the Grill and an excellent children’s menu.

Skylon Bar is a destination in its own right frequented by a “heady mix” of culture vultures that brush shoulders with magazine editors to members of Parliament.

Toptable says about Skylon

Skylon restaurant in London's landmark Royal Festival Hall is a hot destination eatery, a new classic with a modern twist. Inspired by the emblematic sculpture of the 1951 Festival of Britain, Skylon is a stylish restaurant on a grand scale, with formal dining room, smart casual grill and centerpiece bar, each a blend of 1950's-inspired chic and modern design, all with sweeping Thames panoramas through floor-to-ceiling windows. Rising star Helena Puolakka, erstwhile Harvey Nick's Fifth Floor executive chef, employs seasonal ingredients to create modern Euro-Brit menus, with signature dishes like butter-poached lobster with grapefruit and cashew nut salad. The year 1951 is feted in 1950's vintage wines, archetypal 1950's-era cocktails, and two-course £19.51 lunch menu.

Skylon is an excellent venue to entertain friends from out of Town. It is easy to find, has a central location and cabs are abundant in nearby streets. The venue has spectatcular views of the River; the service is impeccable and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The ambiance is wonderful - glamorous and sophisticated. The food and wine are beautifully presented, right down to the home made petis fours. We'll be back ...

To enjoy the best of Skylon it's best to book in advance and get a table overlooking the river. However any dining experience, in any seat at Skylon would be top notch. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely meal with an excellent view of the river from our table. The service was very good, though the wines were quite expensive.
