Top Best American Restaurants in The Heights

"There are few hotels better situated (and certainly none more strikingly decorated) than Sea Containers. Designed under the creative direction of the legendary Tom Dixon, the impossibly chic digs are located just steps away from London landmarks like the National Theatre, Tate Modern and Borough Market. Even if you’re not spending the night, make it a point to pop up to the hotel’s twelfth-floor rooftop bar, 12th Knot."

"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."

"Mr Lyan is back at it again with his hospitality magic and this time it’s in the form of Sea Container’s Lyaness bar. With views overlooking the Thames and unbeatable cocktails, Lyaness encapsulates the very best of London under one umbrella. Any Insta snap here will without a doubt see the likes rolling in."

"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"

"Not only is The Blues Kitchen renowned for its blues and rock’n’roll music, diner style food and boozy cocktails, it’s also hugely popular thanks to its Oreo stuffed deep fried doughnuts. Served alongside salted caramel dipping sauce you won’t be able to resist a bite (or ten) of these little dough balls. They’re as dirty and indulgent as they sound but oh, so good."

"Known for its top live blues bands, the Shoreditch Blues Kitchen also has a stellar menu to match, boasting mouth-watering Southern grub. A highlight is the Wings & Things sharing platter, offering buffalo wings, pork ribs, sweet potato fries, corn chips and dips. NW1, SW2, EC2, theblueskitchen.com"

"Restaurants American King’s Road. Still whoopin’ and hollerin’ after all the years, this Chelsea BBQ/crabshack pulls the crowds with its good-timing New Orleans vibe, high-decibel bluesy sounds, crazy low prices and gut-busting helpings of messy US soul food. Voodoo chicken wings, pit-cooked ribs, stacked burgers and bargain-priced lobsters are the headline acts, with support from a raunchy line-up of X-rated shakes and slushy cocktails."

"If you’re looking for a homecooked barbeque with fresh east coast lobster and steak, look no further than the Big Easy. Their restaurants in Covent Garden and Canary Wharf cook authentic American home-smoked barbeque the classic way with wood and time. You can also find a branch on King's Road close to our Kensington hotel."

"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."

"Based on the original restaurant in Hawaii's North Shore, Kua 'Aina serves a range of scrumptous burgers, marinated chicken and exclusively imported Hawaiian Beers."

"Starting with a classic 1950’s American diner, complete with oversized portions, Waffle Jack’s can be found on Merton Park Parade in Wimbledon. Visitors can expect to choose from a complete range of American classics; anything from burgers, Philly cheese steaks and bagels to their renowned breakfast pancakes and waffles. As the name suggests, the restaurant prides itself on its freshly baked waffles served your way with a choice of topping including bacon or maple syrup."

"Waffles are coming at you in every possible incarnation, so that you can enjoy them gluten free, egg-less, sugar free and red velvet."

"Dating back to the 1970s, Green Cottage is an institution that has withstood the test of time and, now, COVID-19. The menu may be a bible of old-school Cantonese classics that overwhelms one with choice but it only takes one glance up to the glossy rows of roast ducks on display and the answer becomes clear."

"A bastion of old Soho, 300-year-old Berwick Street Market is a strip dotted with shouty fruit-sellers, florists and fabric merchants in among the 20 or so street food vendors. Snaking lunchtime queues are a daily sight with local workers, tourists and shoppers hankering for goodies from the likes of Afghan Delights, Greek2Go, Paella Fellas, Savage Salads and The Jerk Drum. There’s no seating and not all the food traders are open every day, but Soho’s still swell for wandering."

"Berwick Street Market is a small but much-loved market in Soho. As well as some scrumptious street food, there’s an assortment of other stalls selling items like jewellery and clothing. One of the most loved stalls is Savage Salad, selling dishes that are both healthy and delicious."

"There’s been a market on Berwick St in Soho since the late 1770’s. There are a few good street food stalls, especially the tiny Pit Stop Cafe trailer at the south end of the market serves excellent Chinese and Malaysian food. Try their fried sea bass."

"Londoners love fish and Billingsgate Market is the best place to eat it or buy it for cooking at home for family and friends. Prawns, cod, octopus, crab, haddock, eels, anchovies, squid, shark, salmon, sardines – the list is endless. Fish market vendors are experts in how to catch, farm, store and cook fish, and serve it up to you in a restaurant too."

"Stefan Kalmár, the Director of the ICA London states: The Institute of Contemporary Arts in London has been the model for most ICAs that exist in the world today. Since its founding in 1946, the ICA contextualises contemporary culture within the socio-political conditions of the times. The ICA was created as an institute (not a museum), for the contemporary (not just modern) and for all the arts (not just art)."

"The Institute of Contemporary Arts is an art gallery near London's Trafalgar Square. In addition to exhibits on contemporary art, the ICA includes two cinemas, a bookshop, a theatre, and a bar. Established in 1947, ICA creators wanted to create a place for artists and other creative and science folk to debate ideas without being constricted by the rules and traditions of the Royal Academy."
