Sky Pod Rooftop Bar is open all day from early morning coffees, through to lunchtime bites and afternoon drinks, while at night it comes alive with music, lights and cocktails.skygarden.london"

"If you guys have been following this blog for a while you may have realised that I am borderline obsessed with Sky Garden. I think it’s not only one of the best views and best rooftop bars in London, but it’s also very Instagrammable. The combination of stunning views over the rooftops of London, with modern architecture and green plants is a winner for me."

"Number two on our list of the bests building and architecture in London is the stunning sky gardens. This is one of the most modern buildings found in the city. Also, its one of the highest public gardens to be found in the United Kingdom."

"A Narnia-style hub of Instagrammable restaurants, bars and art on Mayfair’s Conduit Street, sketch is a dining emporium like no other. Dreamed up by restauranteur Mourad Mazouz, it’s made up of four uniquely designed restaurants and a bar which sits beneath the pod-style toilets – most likely the most photographed bathroom in the city. Other famous snap spots include the pastel pink Gallery with David Shrigley artwork adorning the walls, and the Swarovski-encrusted bathroom: Instagram gold."

"Perhaps the most Instagrammable restaurant in London, Sketch boasts distinctive powder-pink interiors set in an 18th-century Mayfair townhouse. The Wes Anderson-esque space, the work of Paris-based interior designer India Mahdavi, comprises pink walls and matching scalloped, pink-velvet booths, completed by artworks courtesy of David Shrigley, who also designed the restaurant’s flatware. The food is equally well-designed, described by the restaurant as “site-specific sculptural works."

"Sketch kept popping up (from other sites, friends, IG) but the site doesn’t seem to let me make reservation for one. were you traveling alone, and did you have that issue?"

"Restaurants British Covent Garden. J Sheekey lures lovers in with its red canopies on St Martin’s Court. What could appeal more than the chance to knock back a plate of native oysters overlooked by photos of the finest stars of stage and screen?"

"In a nutshell: Basement Japanese restaurant meets Nordic Where is it?. 19 Motcomb Street, London SW1X 8LB Why should you care?. This is the basement restaurant at Belgravia's Pantechnicon, opening a year after the rest of the building."

"One of two restaurants at Nordic/Japanese venue Pantechnicon, the London branch of Cafe Kitsune (there are a handful around the world) offers the feel of a French patisserie-style cafe with a distinct Japanese twist."

"In a nutshell: High rise co-dining in Canary Wharf Where is it?. 20 Crossharbour Plaza, London E14 9YF Why should you care?. This Canary Wharf restaurant is on the 20th Floor of The Collective Canary Wharf, a huge "co-living" space."

"Restaurants Steakhouse Covent Garden. Here’s the deal at this singular no-bookings venue: £10 pays for a steak (‘flat iron’ is the US term for a full-flavoured but affordable leg cut), which is sliced into fat mini-slabs and served with a dinky pot of lamb’s lettuce. That’s it, apart from some proper sides, great-value wines and complimentary takeaway ice cream – no wonder there’s a queue."

"Restaurants Steakhouse Covent Garden. For those in need of a beef injection on a budget: at this no-bookings chain, £10 gets you a lovely, thin ‘flat iron’ steak sliced into little hunks, with a dinky pot of lamb’s lettuce. The look inside is understated cool, and there’s a killer cocktail list."

"Flat Iron makes it into our cheap eats London guide because where else can you get steak for under a tenner in London?!. The meat is good quality, juicy, tender and comes with a side salad. Sides like fries are extra and will take you over our cheap eats budget, but steak and salad works for lunch or a light dinner."

"With a cool, laid-back and easy going vibe, Heist Bank is the perfect place for a casual and quick lunch. Located near Paddington, the venue is a stylish mix of industrial design and quirky touches, along with having a pool table, delicious pizza and plenty of craft beer."

This Herne Hill hotspot is perfect for getting your weekend off to a good start – take a dip in the open-air pool (if you dare), then get some revitalising sustenance via the all-day brunch menu. Expect a lively veggie line-up taking in everything from coconut porridge and ‘green goddess’ superfood bowls to polenta scramble, celeriac and cavolo nero rösti, and a fake full English with seitan and tofu."

"In a nutshell: South London pizzeria takes over swimming pool restaurant Where is it?. Brockwell Lido, Brockwell Park, Dulwich Rd, London SE24 0PA Why should you care?. Popular South London pizzeria 400 Hundred Rabbits has taken on the art deco cafe at Brockwell Lido and they're starting with a strong brunch menu."

"First, stop in at the Lido Café for a fresh pastry and barista-crafted latte. This will give you the energy needed to explore more of the incredible manicured grounds."

"Restaurants French Bermondsey. For breakfast/brunch, read ‘petit déjeuner’ at this deliciously traditional French eatery within a mock-Tudor outhouse on the fringes of Tanner Street Park. Pique-Nique is from the people behind Casse-Croûte, which means it’s ‘parlez français’ all the way when it comes to the food and service – so brush up on your lingo before ordering chausson aux pommes, croque monsieur or an omelette nature."

"One of the best places in London to eat roast chicken is kind enough to offer that same chicken to its young audience. At Pique-Nique, the neighbouring sister site to the fantastic French bistro, Casse-Croute in Bermondsey, children are presented with a simple choice: chicken, potatoes, and ice cream for £10 or go home. 10/10, too, for the menu itself."

"On a sunny afternoon I can think of few better places to have a lovely little lunch with a baby or without, than Pique-Nique. The restaurant is located inside Tanner Street Park, in what I assume used to be the park’s cafe, now an upmarket but rustic French bistro. It felt almost as if we’d left London."

"This newly opened French bistrot – located just next door to Galvin La Chapelle in the heart of Spitalfields – features the type of big French dishes that you're unlikely to have cooked in lockdown. Think cassoulet and slow-cooked beer braised pork cheeks; the kind of food that gives you a hug from the inside. Their outdoor seating benefits from having ample cover to keep you sheltered if any weather crops up as you tuck into classic French dishes and delicious wines."

"At the top of chic restaurant and retail spot Pantechnicon is a leafy oasis, decked out just like the lifestyle store downstairs. The food is just as refined as the interiors and leans towards Nordic. Expect dishes like fire-grilled aubergines with morels and garlic sauce, and beef tartare with cream and roe — and for ‘sauces’ to veer into foam territory."

"In a nutshell: Bowls and supperclubs in Spitalfields Where is it?. 75 Commercial Street, Spitalfields, London, E1 6BD Why should you care?. This Spitalfields restaurant is primarily an all-day affair inspired by the owner's upbringing in Singapore and Malaysia."
