Top Best American Restaurants in Hampton

"Enjoy glorious views of the River Thames at this buzzy South Bank eatery, located on the bottom floor of the Sea Containers London (formerly Mondrian). Designed by maverick Tom Dixon, the restaurant exudes elegance, with nautical-inspired interiors drawing on the famous Sea Containers House: think copper-clad walls, leather chairs and bright yellow upholstery. This opens onto a brightly coloured terrace, running in partnership with Laurent Perrier."

"Formerly Mondrian, Sea Containers London is a sophisticated design-led boutique hotel with luxury dining and award-winning bars like Lyaness, formerly Dandelyan, from the team behind the world’s best bar. The outdoor terrace at Sea Containers, with show-stopping of the River Thames will re-open on 16th April. Order a round of Grey Goose Bloody Mary’s for Sunday brunch."

"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 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."

"Little carnivores (aged 10 and under) should be satisfied by the menu available at all branches of Big Easy. For £9.90, they can dig into a burger, rack of ribs, barbecue chicken or macaroni cheese with a generous side and then ice cream to follow. There’s also a great range of soft drinks, like a root beer float."

"A rapidly expanding American mega chain somehow beats most homegrown burger restaurants in London. One just needs to know what to order, or rather, how to order the trademark Shack Burger. It’s pretty simple (if emulating classic fast food burgers is the goal.) To best complement the beautifully and aggressively griddled American cheese-covered patty, which is sandwiched between a sliced, squidgy Martin’s potato roll, order sliced raw onion and add pickles."

"Burgers made from 100% Red Tractor British beef and grilled over a Kamado Joe Grill are a Greenport Kitchen speciality."

"You may have heard of British vegan activist Earthling Ed, whose calm and collected approach to educating people on the realities of animal agriculture has helped to spread awareness to hundreds of thousands of people. Unity Diner is his restaurant, and in true Earthling Ed fashion, all profits at Unity Diner are put towards animal rights campaign work. Unity Diner is a great place to be, with beautiful decor in the form of greenery and fairy lights to set the scene."

"Nestled in East London's Spitalfields, Unity Diner has expanded to a much larger space shortly after opening, making this wholesome restaurant one of the biggest completely vegan diner and cocktail bars in the city. Founded by a couple friends, including vegan advocate Earthling Ed, this not-for-profit eatery is a safe haven for everyone, with options so good it's hard to tell the difference from traditional fish and meat dishes."

"Earthling Ed’s non-profit restaurant Unity Diner deserves a spot on this list for the three epic burgers that don’t just taste great but help animals too. You can choose from the classic Moving Mountains Burger featuring ‘beef’ patties, cheese, bacon, and all the trimmings. There’s also the VFC Burger – a vegan take on the Southern-fried chicken patty with cheese, bacon, and a hash brown."

"Taj opened its first Jiva spa in Europe last year in the heart of London’s Westminster - so it still feels brand-spanking new. The spa takes inspiration from ancient Indian wellness philosophies, offering a menu of body rituals and facials which blend traditional healing techniques and use luxurious Temple Spa products. Unwind in between treatments in the atmospheric vitality pool or break a sweat in the fitness suite."

"The spa at the Mandarin Oriental in Hyde Park underwent a multi-million pound refurb before reopening in 2018, and is now arguably London’s most luxurious. Fancy features include an amethyst crystal steam room, 17-metre twin lane swimming pool, vitality pool and samarium, alongside 13 treatment rooms and the Oriental Suite, complete with an impressive Rasul water temple - a tiled steam room used for heat and mud therapies - that’s perfect for indulgent couples therapies. Be sure to arrive 45 minutes ahead of your appointment to enjoy full use of the facilities."

"Steps from Knightsbridge, one of the most affluent districts in London, the Mandarin Oriental is a top-tier grande dame. Winston Churchill was once a regular, and the Edwardian building has remained intact, despite undergoing a renovation worth millions in 2018. Rooms are contemporary and light, maintaining a classic English elegance with neutral decor and furniture adding pops of emerald, teal and dusky pink."

"The Queen learnt to dance in the ballroom of this splendidly florid pile. A great deal has changed since then. There's now an award-winning, state-of-the-art spa, zeitgeisty restaurants by Daniel Boulud and Heston Blumenthal, and perpetually packed bars (not one, not two, but three, and all terrific in their very different ways)."

"In a nutshell: Caprice Holdings expand to Victoria Where is it?. 66 Victoria St, London SW1E 6SQ Why should you care?. The Ivy Collection's latest addition to its 36-strong restaurant emporium is a 292-seater restaurant and bar called The Ivy Victoria."

"The new Globe was designed to resemble the original as closely as possible, which means having the arena open to the fickle London skies, leaving the 700 ‘groundlings’ (standing spectators) to weather London’s spectacular downpours. Visits to the Globe include tours of the theatre (half-hourly) as well as access to the exhibition space, which has fascinating exhibits on Shakespeare, life in Bankside and theatre in the 17th century."

"After strolling through South Bank, feel free to cross the pedestrian-only Millennium Bridge and visit the world-famous Shakespeare’s Globe, lying literally just a few hundred feet south of the Thames. Needing little introduction, Shakespeare’s Globe is a modern reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre that still produces open-air plays and performances on a daily basis!"

"However, today visitors can still see one remaining section of the palace complex, the Banqueting Hall (fee*) designed by famous architect Inigo Jones with a ceiling painted by Peter Paul Reubens. Today Whitehall is the center of the Government of the United Kingdom and you’ll pass a number of buildings home to various departments and ministries, including the Ministry of Defense and the Cabinet Office. Along this street you’ll also find The Household Calvary Museum (fee*), located in the 18th century stables of the Horse Guards, which gives information on the history of the Household Cavalry and displays a small collection of uniforms and weapons."
