| Last reviewed: May 2026 Tom Sellers opened Story in a small purpose-built building on Tooley Street in 2013 and won a Michelin star within five months; the second came in 2021 and has held into the 2026 Guide. The format is a multi-course tasting menu told as a literal story — each course referenced to a book in the dining-room library. Recently expanded with a first-floor private room. İstanbullu seconders use it for the South-of-the-river fine-dining slot — five minutes from London Bridge, ten from a Borough Market afternoon, the most serious kitchen in the postcode.
Editor's Tip
Book the lunch sitting and walk to Borough Market afterwards — the combination is the audience's preferred South-Bank afternoon. The bread-and-dripping course is the room's calling card; do not photograph it before the candle melts. Wine pairing leans Burgundy-and-Loire-heavy.
