Not yoo much further to Bermondsey for the craft beer mile and Malty St Market. Depending on when you go the lounge has a nice terrace too and I would rate food over Bankside.
We have a seat booked in London for two nights next August at the conclusion of a trip to Croatia. We have booked Bankside based on prior reviews. We want to try this side of the Thames as we have been in the more central areas a number of times.
We really do like a good lounge experience, and it sounds like Tower may be a notch above as well as having more varied environs. From folks familiar with both, does this seem accurate?
Also, one of the nights is booked with an Amex FNC that was extended a couple of days. Is it safe to assume that , if dates of use are unchanged, they would be able to move the reservation? Just in case we decide to change.
Cheers.
