Restaurant of the week

It's been a while since I've had one of these entries, but this place is worth the wait. Only one catch - it's in London!

The Wapping Project
Wapping Hydrolic Power Station
Wapping Wall
London E1W 3ST
0871 3328754

I had been to this place for Jody's birthday a little while back, and thought it was the perfect place to take Serena for her's last night. It's a restaurant in an old Hydrolic Power Station in east London. When you enter, the hostess will tell you how the station used to power all of the raising and lowering of the theater curtains in the west end and the elevators in the city. Now, the old power station is a kind of art gallery-meets-restaurant, where you can see enjoy some contemporary art in the 'gallery' (one big room in the back that reminds me of the turbine room in the Tate Modern), enjoy a really nice meal among the well-preserved industrial machines, and go up to the roof for a beautiful view of the area. This is a great place to go for something a little different, and is definitely worth the trip to Wapping!
