  1. Literally, bridge of the tower. Is it near Tower Bridge?


  2. tower bridge, i think

  3. This is Welsh for "wine list" and is only used in posh French establishments

  4. It is as already mentioned, "Bridge of the Tower", which a restaraunt owned by Sir Terence Conran, on the prestigeous development of Butlers Wharf. A once thriving eleven acres of Londons dockland sited next to Tower Bridge.

    Butlers Wharf was bought by Sir Terence just prior the property collapse in the early nineties with revenue derived from the sale of his succesfull Habitat company.

    After the collapse Sir Terence called in the recievers to manage the sales and leasing of the many different types of property on the site, residential, commercial, retail.

    He kept an apartment for himself and aquired the restaraunt/bakers/and adjoining fish restaraunt next door, all based on the entire eastern ground floor of main building.

    The restaraunt was, in my days of working on the site, very successfull, and you needed a mortgage to purchase a meal there. The bakers attached to the restaraunt was a must, expensive but absolutely awesome bread, I got many freebies after becoming friendly with the baker.

    If it is still going then I would certainly recommend going. The two meals I ate there, Xmas gift from Sir Terry to the staff on site, were superb.

  5. Bridge of the Tower.

  6. Tower Bridge, or literally "Bridge of the Tower"

  7. tower bridge

  8. Point of no return?

  9. it literally means "the bridge of the tower" or, perhaps, tower bridge ;)
