Fire Station under/at the side of Waterloo Station

Bit more expensive Livebait or RSJ.  Oxo Tower - Second floor bar is less expensive than the Harvey Nichols operation on the 8th floor.

There is a restaurant in the National which was OK last time I ate there.

And with those sentiments I would largely agree - we must have had the worst table in Livebait, although the food was not *quite* as bad as the table!  I put it down to poor menu choice as some of the things which went past looked OK (and is to be preferred if you are keen on fish). Don't miss the risotto at RSJ.
