The City Inn’s<\/a> restaurant is called City Cafe, it has an attractive\u00a0covered outside seating area, great\u00a0 for the summer, even when the evenings get cooler as\u00a0there are\u00a0plenty of heaters.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0large screen TV is usually wheeled out for Wimbledon and other major events. The food is above average for a Hotel Chain Restaurant and reasonably priced.\u00a0 It has 2 AA Rosettes, which sounds about right. It was also recently featured on Celebrity Master Chef<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not a good day to use the outdoor space<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are two bars, one next to the City Cafe and the main one on the first floor, the Millbank Lounge<\/a>. The Millbank Lounge has waitress service and focuses on whiskeys and pretty good cocktails, food there can be a bit hit and miss.<\/p>\n

I love the fact you can actually use the\u00a0excellent Tate to Tate <\/a>boat service as a means of getting to\/from this hotel.<\/p>\n
