Tower Tavern

The Tower Tavern – A great traditional pub in the heart of Fitzrovia

A hearty welcome to our website – and to The Tower Tavern itself.

We’re tucked away in a quiet street in the heart of Fitzrovia, north of Oxford Street, and if you get lost, head for a local landmark; at 190 meters tall, it’s hard to miss the BT Tower.

That said, with its glistening white tile exterior – designed in XXX as part of the ‘brutalist’ style popular at the time and still completely original, both inside and out – The Tower Tavern certainly isn’t hidden, being just a short walk away from the thriving restaurant quarter around Charlotte Street and Goodge Place.

Our regulars tell us they keep coming because the Tower is a relaxing place to eat, drink and be merry.

So, if you’re hungry, or thirsty, or both , and in your our part of town, head for the white place that is The Tower Tavern where you’ll be away from the hustle of the tourist traps, but just a few minutes from one of London’s most vibrant areas.

food  

A year and a half after opening Portland (a relaxed yet stylish restaurant on Great Portland Street), they’ve opened Clipstone, which is – you’ve guessed it – a relaxed yet stylish restaurant on Clipstone Street.

Clipstone, you see, is the kind of restaurant we’d all want in our ’hood.

All of it is good, but a handful of dishes really tra-la-la: the simplicity and clean flavours of char (a cold-water fish more common in Scandinavia), say, served skin-off and ‘crudo’ (as in, raw) with curls of mandolin-thin peach slivers, blobs of cultured cream and a drizzle of fruity olive oil.

Or the stand-out dish, in part because the main ingredient is on the cusp of a comeback: calves brain meuniere.

It may be small and brown, like some uninstagrammable throwback from the ’70s, but after one bite, you’ll be converted: the ‘meat’ – let’s call it that, so you can stop dwelling – is delicate in flavour, silky in texture, with just a hint of wobble.
