Rocket - Canary Wharf, London

Spectacular views of The Millennium Dome enveloped by shimmering towers of one-way glass provide an aesthetical backdrop for diners at Rocket, Canary Wharf.

A short totter from the labyrinth of the Canary Wharf DLR station, the latest venture of the continental food chain Rocket announces itself with neon fairy lights suspended above the Thames. Postmodernism reigns supreme as the traditional rules of restaurant décor are toe-punted over the horizon.  
Expect Perspex and lots of it. Perspex chairs, light fittings and tables decked out with ramekins of marinated olives and candles that gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window panes onto the nerve centre of the financial district of London. Framed prints of 18th century paintings curve through the spine of this restaurant and lead toward the whitewashes walls of the kitchen. The mishmash of cultural nostalgia and spaceage design somehow moulds together to give the dining area a sense of cohesion not too dissimilar from stepping into an extremely affluent student’s room.    and raucous crowds on the terrace.
