Top Best American Restaurants in West Thurrock

"Designer Tom Dixon went full steam ahead with the maritime theme here, transforming Sea Containers House, a great lump of an office building on the south bank of the Thames, into a hotel that is meant to resemble a transatlantic liner. A transatlantic liner, however, that also references Art Deco, Pop Art and disco, and that makes expressive use of a distinctly non-nautical palette (velvet banquettes in mimosa-yellow, wardrobes in bubblegum pink, staff uniforms in baby blue). Outside, there's Tate Modern to your left, Shakespeare's Globe to your right, and all of London seemingly spread out before you beneath the balcony of the hotel's brilliant, brassy 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."

"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."

"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."

"Why: Gut-busting portions and a meat-heavy menu come together to make this American joint a favourite among Londoners. Big Easy was serving up baskets of lobster and dry-rubbed, pit-cooked ribs – complete with plastic bibs – long before anyone else, and still holds its own today. Bottomless themed nights, such as ‘Shrimp Tuesdays’ offer excellent value – just be sure to leave your belt at home.Where: Canary Wharf, Chelsea + Covent Garden"

": 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."

"It’s co-owned by Bill Wyman, a former member of the Rolling Stones. This themed restaurant is perfect for families—the menu is traditional American fare (think burgers, macaroni and cheese, and chicken strips for the kids and an assortment of burgers, steaks, and other dishes for adults). Combine the delicious food with an electric atmoshere, you can’t go wrong at Sticky Fingers."

"Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones set up this Kensington restaurant, which serves crowd-pleasing Southern-style food in a comfortable environment. The BBQ menu is packed full of old favourites like burgers, ribs and chicken wings, while the kid’s menu is great value at £7.95 for a meal, drink and pudding too. Satisfaction guaranteed."

"The brainchild of Bill Wyman, Sticky Fingers restaurant offers excellent American style food served in a warm and relaxed atmosphere."

"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."

"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."

"This two-floor adidas Originals fashion store is the brand’s UK flagship, stocking limited edition styles and hosting in-store gigs and signings."

"Tucked behind the heart of Theatre Land on St Martin’s Court, the red facade of J Sheekey’s fish, shellfish and seasonal game restaurant is nothing short of iconic. Sheekey’s is as famous and as much a part of the West End as the actors and theatregoers who frequent it pre- or post-show and it’s been top of its game for over 100 years. Devour seafood platters or pop in for oysters and a glass of Champagne or head next door to the more casual, but just as loved, J.Sheekey Atlantic Bar."

"What: West End regulars will have undoubtably walked past the bright red façade of J Sheekey on many occasions before but if you haven’t ventured inside before, it’s a great spot for a pre-show meal. Diners come to J Sheekey for its inimitable fish cookery which courts all the classics with a light touch. Tuck into rich fish pie, potted shrimps or fruits de mer for a satisfyingly retro meal.Where: 28-32 St Martin's Court, WC2N 4AL"

"A post shared by London Restaurant Interiors 🇬🇧 (@resturantsoflondon) on Jul 4, 2019 at 11:11am PDT. A cosy and slightly more casual seafood restaurant than its sibling nextdoor, J Sheekey Atlantic Bar is perfect for a first date with a seafood lover. Don't be shellfish and share a platter, or to really impress, ask for the off-menu dessert (frozen berries and white chocolate)."

"Pub food doesn’t have to be fancy to hit the spot – sometimes a damn good toastie will do the trick. The ones at the Canton Arms are some of London’s most beguiling bar snacks, with fillings including Westcombe cheddar with a variety of extras, haggis, and luxurious lashings of foie gras. Elsewhere, steak pie and mash gets an outing for two at dinner, but the menu is peppered with European flare and North African spice, as ox and beef cheeks are served Provencal style and shaved sprouts come with yoghurt and dukkah."

"A brand-new opening by Robin and Sarah Gill (of The Dairy in Clapham fame) - a modern neighbourhood restaurant Bermondsey Larder will be reopening on the 14 April with an al fresco dining spot. The restaurant only got a couple of weeks in before lockdown when it opened in September, so we're looking forward to seeing its full potential. Highlights on the terrace will include farmer Tom Jones' lamb with Jerusalem artichoke, pulled aubergine and mushroom flatbreads and a gorgeous split mackerel and sea-salad dish, perfect for sharing."

"153-157 Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 3LW Why should you care?. The replacement for The Dairy, less than a month after they closed in Clapham. They may have a new name forced on them, but it's still the excellent Dairy at heart."

"Taking the place of long-standing institution Gaylord, Pali Hill bravely sticks to Indian cuisine and the gamble pays off. An unpretentious and relaxed setting is matched with an affordable menu of delightfully messy sharing plates."

"A short walk from Paddington tube station, Smith's Bar & Grill is one of the best outdoor restaurants in West London. Join them on the terrace for a slick Christmas offering, complete with roast turkey and pudding with brandy custard."
