JOIA
15th Floor, 1 Electric Blvd, SW11
A striking new addition to London’s skyline, Joia at Battersea Power Station is a love letter to Iberian flavours. Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa brings bold, elegant dishes to this art deco-inspired rooftop, where every plate – from the carabineros prawns to the smoky piri piri chicken – bursts with authenticity. If you can snag a poolside seat, you’ll be treated to Thames views that make the golden hour all the more spectacular. joiabattersea.co.uk
