Best Fine Dining in South Ockendon

"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 in Mayfair boasts not only the most Instagrammable bathroom in town, but a stellar food menu – which you can now enjoy at home. Its new delivery service, sketch at home, offers either a four-course meal (with a vegetarian option) or a decadent Sunday roast, featuring a sharing côte de boeuf with all the trimmings. Each comes with instructions advising on how best to reheat and present the dish, plus paired wine."

"Giving new meaning to the term 'theatrical dining', Sketch is taking guests on a culinary experience from start to finish. Take a seat in one of the West End restaurant's Wes Anderson-esque rooms and tuck into a luxurious breakfast, afternoon tea or three Michelin-starred meal."

"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)."

"It’s a piece of prime gastronomic real estate, but M&Ms aside, there isn’t much to eat in Leicester Square itself. A claw-cracker’s throw from the neon, though, is some of London’s best seafood, courtesy of J."

"Order from Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, which is now offering a selection of its culinary classics for delivery. Three different four course menus are available to order, all inspired by British historic gastronomy – including the vegetarian Royal Cooking Menu, which features a truffle version of Heston’s iconic meat fruit dish. Order at sevenrooms.com"

"Heston Blumenthal's two Michelin-starred restaurant in Knightsbridge has one of the most beautiful terraces in town. Overlooking Hyde Park, you can enjoy signature dishes like the Meat Fruit or Tipsy Cake and - if you're very lucky - catch the Household Cavalry trotting past on their way to the Changing of the Guard."

"With two Michelin stars, sumptuously presented Dinner is a gastronomic tour de force, taking diners on a journey through British culinary history (with inventive modern inflections). Dishes carry historical dates... Sri Lankan in The West End"

"Today I’d suggest exploring the London borough of Kensington & Chelsea, with a particular focus on South Kensington. This affluent area of the city is full of museums, galleries, stores, and world-class entertainment venues. Everything on the main itinerary is within walking distance (or a short public transit ride if you prefer)."

"Kings Road is one of London's most famous shopping streets and also home to the Ivy Chelsea Garden. The restaurant has a relaxed feel, along with a terrace and a garden, so they ar..."

"The Ivy Chelsea Garden dazzles a chic crowd of diners with its venue, light-filled space on King's Road with an orangery and leafy garden terrace in the back ideal for warmer-weath..."

"For more than a decade, customers have been visiting Min Jiang for its spectacular view of Kensington Gardens and staying for its delicious Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine. Located on the 10th floor of the Royal Garden Hotel on Kensington High Street, the restaurant’s chefs specialise in a medley of cooking styles and techniques that have been passed down through generations. If you order one thing, make it the Beijing duck, which is roasted for 45 minutes and presented in two servings: first the skin is crisped with granulated sugar and served with pancakes, and then the meat is served with your choice of noodles, rice, soup or lettuce wraps."

"Find traditional Chinese cookery updated for the modern age at Kensington's Min Jiang. Although a great place for provincial Chinese dishes; many come simply for its wood-fired duck, which is served over two courses. Perched on the 10th floor of the Royal Garden Hotel, this stylish restaurant boasts views of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens."

"Restaurants Chinese St James’s. One of only a handful of London restaurants dealing in refined Cantonese food, Imperial Treasure is a grand, high-ceilinged spot in Mayfair with classy service and even better barbecued duck (the delicious kind you’ll find hanging in the window in Chinatown). The prices border on blow-out, so order carefully."

"Imperial Treasure is, hands down, the grandest Chinese restaurant in London. Its sister restaurants in Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai have Michelin stars and one imagines the first London outpost has similarly lofty ambitions. Just off Pall Mall, it's covered in marble up to its high, original ceilings, with cool, contemporary wooden fittings giving an intimate feel to the enormous, opulent space."

"On the Twickenham side of Richmond Bridge, this traditional Italian has been dispensing its version of Bella Italia for more than a decade – and the locals love it. The interior is stylishly suburban (note the smart monochrome decor), while the kitchen rustles up a perky assortment of capably crafted regional classics such as gorgonzola risotto or peposo (Tuscan braised beef in red wine)."

"A favourite neighbourhood restaurant in Twickenham since opening back in 2001, A Cena offers authentic Italian cuisine with a modern twist. A warm, family-run retreat found in an idyllic setting right by the river, A Cena conjures the types of recipes…"

"The museum has three permanent galleries, including Ancient Origins, which showcases changes in the area dating back from prehistoric times, and Town of Kings, which highlights the development of Kingston as a market town starting during medieval times. The building that houses the museum is Grade II listed."

"Hotel phone: +44 20 3747 1000 With stellar views of the Thames, Sea Containers Hotel sits just a few minutes’ walk from the London Eye, Borough Market, and Globe Theatre. Nautical touches, including the copper-clad ‘ship’s hull’ that encompasses the reception, are meant to convey 1920 cruise ship glamour and to pay homage to the Sea Containers shipping company – the original occupants of the building. Understated, luxurious rooms are decked out with custom-designed furniture, bathrooms with rain showers, and movie-star-dressing-room lights alongside the mirrors."

"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."

"A post shared by Sea Containers Restaurant (@seacontainersrestaurant). A life involving small plates of seafood and Laurent-Perrier's Cuvée Rosé by the glass (or bottle) is just the kind of life we deserve, which is why we enjoy being at the Sea Containers London x Laurent-Perrier Summer Terrace. And who's to say that the indigenous flora we're surrounded by when we're there doesn't ground us?"

"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."

"If you’re looking for an important retail development in the City of London, then look no further than One New Change. This is actually the only major shopping centre in the area, so it won’t be difficult to find. It is located nearby St. Paul’s Cathedral, so you can always add a visit to this amazing cathedral to your experience."

"A post shared by Jon Rees (@drjonrees) on Feb 14, 2019 at 9:56am PST. One New Change is London’s largest shopping destination within the city, with an expansive retail space of over 60 shops and restaurants. Close to St. Paul’s Cathedral, it is an easy stop for those looking to shop or eat while exploring downtown London."

"So the view from here has already appeared on this list under St. Paul’s Cathedral. However, as it really is one of the most Instagram worthy spots in London, I thought it should be included twice!. Head to the rooftop of One New Change via the elevators in the centre of the shopping mall for the best composition."
