Top Best American Restaurants in Buckland Common

"Any hotel designed by lighting guru Tom Dixon was always going to be incredibly stylish. The first London outpost for the Mondrian group, it took over the Old Sea Containers building on the South Bank, offering incredible views across the river to St Paul's. Drink champagne cocktails on the roof in the decadent 12th Knot, book a massage in the vast underground Agua Spa or catch a film at the in-house Curzon cinema."

"This intriguingly named venue describes itself as a treatment destination, social hub and playground spa. Found on the South Bank (hence the aquatic theme), the exotic Sea Containers London – previously known as Mondrian – is its glamorous home. Perfect for large scale society pamper parties, you can hire the entirety of agua London, for the ultimate hen do, baby shower or birthday celebration."

"If you're looking for a seafood restaurant with a view, Sea Containers are a go-to. With its unique maritime inspired interiors, incredible views of the Thames and expertly curated menu of seasonal dishes, the venue is an ideal location for munching on fresh fish, oysters and ceviche."

"Why: Nightly live music, a menu full to the brim with American classics and a bumper crop of bourbon come together to make The Blues Kitchen a lively New Orleans-style night out, whichever location you visit. Close your calorie-tracking app and dig into hearty southern mains such as stacked burgers, seafood jambalaya and smoky barbecue ribs, and decadent desserts like Oreo doughnuts and thick milkshakes.Where:Camden, Shoreditch + Brixton"

"What: Even if you’re not a fan of Texan BBQ we’d go so far to say that a trip to Blues Kitchen is probably worth it if for no other reason than to try these devilish deep-fried doughballs. The dessert menu is concise and it’s no wonder – what else would you possibly choose when Oreo cookie donuts with a salted caramel dip are on offer?. Find them at:Brixton, Camden, Shoreditch"

"A post shared by God Carlos (@saphyel) on Jul 8, 2017 at 11:14am PDT. Live music, Texas BBQ and bourbon cocktails create the perfect recipe for a great night out. The team behind The Blues Kitchen took inspiration from their annual trips to the southern states for their BBQ menu."

": A lively BBQ joint inspired by the crab shacks that line the American Gulf Coast, the first Big Easy opened up on the King’s Road over 20 years ago. With live music on most nights and a variety of different unlimited nights on different days of the week, there is more than enough to bring you in and keep you there all night long!. “This place has hands down the most delicious shrimps in town” says Chris James of Delaney BBQ."

"BBQ ribs scream American feasting and the stickier the better. Big Easy's ribs are dry-rubbed with salts and spices for maximum flavour on that all-important dark crust. With branches in Covent Garden, Canary Wharf and on the King's Road, wherever you are, you'll be able to get your hands on some."

"Their mouthwatering burgers and chips sprinkled with rosemary salt are what keeps Londoners’ queuing all day, every day for a bite of Patty and Bun. From just £7.50, diners can tuck into one of six delicious burgers including the classic ‘Smokey Robinson’ and the ‘Lambshank Redemption’. Patty and Bun definitely live up to its reputation – this is one of the cheap eats in London not to be missed."

"Some crave the confit chicken wings, others drool over the rosemary-salted fries, but it’s really about the kookily titled burgers at this bare-bones dude-food joint – anyone for Smokey Robinson or Lambshank Redemption?. Expect neon-lit booths, cult beers, rum punch and long queues. Flagship site: 54 James Street, W1U 1HE"

"In the battle of the burgers, Patty & Bun almost always comes up top. We love them for their ‘Family Style’ chef collabs, their signature smokey P&B mayo and their ‘make it veggie’ mantra, which means replacing the meat in your burger with a deep fried cheese fritter. Now that’s how to do it."

"A deservedly popular spot, BOWLS practices the philosophies that underpin all good food; simple ideas, good ingredients and craftsmanship. It’s the brainchild of Le Cordon Bleu alumna Zarifa Ragimova, who graduated from our Diplôme de Cuisine in 2016. The Caribbean/Asian fusion restaurant serves almost everything within a hearty bowl and their dishes include Caribbean BBQ Jerk Chicken with Rice n Peas, Korean Bibimbap, BBQ Pulled Pork Bao, Japanese Miso Aubergine and Jamaican Curry Goat."

"The ideal destination for any occasion, Coast to Coast is casual dining at its best. Guests experience a gastronomic adventure from east to west coast America, with dishes and cocktails inspired by recipes from across the continent."

"A post shared by Jessica Lalau (@jesslalau) on Aug 19, 2016 at 2:26am PDT. London is sadly lacking when it comes to great Southern food places, but, luckily, The Fat Bear delivers if you’ve got a hankering for New Orleans gumbo or the bizarre yet brilliant Southern staple dish of fried chicken and waffles."

"Gelupo’s mission is to deliver the finest ice cream this side of the Alps to appreciative Londoners. Unusually for a gelateria, however, the selection of sorbets is as extensive as their ice cream menu – and includes special summer flavours such as Hendricks and cucumber. We love their apricot and strawberry and pink pepper sorbets, and the fact that their chocolate gelato is a sorbet, not because they wanted to make a low fat ice cream, but because as a sorbet it can be made even more chocolatey – we wholeheartedly approve!"

"We have some great gelato in London Town but my faves by far are @gelupogelateria in Soho. This is Malted Milk with Blood Orange sorbet."

"Ice Cream , Italian"

"St Martin in the Fields church is on Trafalgar Square right in the centre of London. The crypt underground beneath the church is a wonderfully atmospheric place for a coffee or meal. Look up at the vaulted brick ceiling above your head and keep an eye out for historic tombstones worn down with age and thousands of feet."

"Located on the top floor of 120 Fenchurch Street you will find the Garden at 120. The garden is free to enter and not only has beautiful views over London, but also a modern style and green spaces to relax. It’s the perfect spot for some Instagram shots and also to relax a bit."

"The Garden at 120 is another public London garden that offers epic views. And even better, it’s completely free to go with no booking required!. While it’s not quite as impressive or high as Sky Garden (15th floor vs 43rd floor), it does boast some unique photo opportunities."

"Many of the regal residences created by the Rothschild family throughout Europe are gone now, but this one is still a vision of the 19th…"

"The squat buildings that surround Leicester Square seem an unlikely setting for a worthwhile rooftop restaurant, but Bourne & Hollingsworth has found a site with potential: the 10th floor of the Assembly Hotel on Charing Cross Road. Seasonal and locally sourced, the menu offers classic European dishes, covering pretty much the full gamut of dining options: breakfast, brunch, a la carte and special theatre menus are all available. For dinner, my companion and I opted for a hefty chunk of cod laden with puy lentils and salsa verde."

"This intimate, sky-high restaurant is the perfect place to get a good view of the city, thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over central London. As the name suggests, this venue is known for its botanical-inspired decor which makes it a great background for your documentation of what will no doubt be an unforgettable night."

"An award-winning bottle shop and taproom on Brick Lane, Kill The Cat is a must for lovers of craft beer in London. Head to the East London location for the chance to sample sips from their extensive selection of brews, complete with snacks and slick interiors."
