Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Bovingdon

"For a lunch date to remember, 155 meters high at the top of the famous ‘Walkie-Talkie’ building, the Sky Garden offers spectacular views of the city. But it’s the incredible tropical garden which makes this iconic London landmark a must-see. There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, but for informal yet stylish lunchtime dining, we highly recommend Darwin’s Brasserie to take in some of the best views of the city."

"Sky Garden is one of the modern but still equally famous attractions in London. Since its opening in 2015 on the 43rd floor of the "Walkie Talkie" building, the Sky Garden has gained a lot of popularity and has become one of London's best gardens to visit. This attraction serves as a public park for visitors on top of a commercial building."

"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."

"Following on from the Duck and Waffle, and also in the Heron Tower but this time on the 38th and 39th floor, is Sushisamba. This restaurant offers a unique blend of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian cuisine. There are delicious sushi and sashimi dishes to enjoy and again, splendid views of the Gherkin."

"At Sushisamna, a newcomer to Covent Garden although the second in London, the concept of Japanese-Peruvian-Brazilian fusion cuisine makes for an unforgettable dining experience."

"For banging food and cocktails with 24/7 views of the London skyline, Duck & Waffle is hard to beat. The 40th-floor restaurant in the Heron Tower serves up plates to rival the view: there’s the eponymous ‘Duck & Waffle’ — confit duck leg with fried egg and mustard maple syrup — for breakfast, seasonal small plates throughout the day, and a late night menu featuring ox cheek doughnuts, salt beef grilled cheese sandwiches, and slow-cooked lamb sloppy Joes."

"If you’ve not yet made your way up the Heron Tower for brekky, you must get Duck and Waffle‘s signature dish when you do. The combination of crispy confit of duck leg and a fried duck egg, both served on a crisp yet fluffy waffle, is surprisingly delightful. It’s topped with a tangy mustardy maple syrup for the perfect amount of sweetness alongside the savoury."

"Prior to London being plunged into lockdown, Duck & Waffle was serving its popular brunch menu seven days a week. The menu’s back, but is currently only available between 7am and 5pm on Saturday and Sundays. Which gives you plenty of time to sample some of the destination restaurant’s signature dishes."

"City Social (Opens September) Jason Atherton’s Michelin-starred restaurant boasts a perfectly framed view of the Gherkin. Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street, EC2N 1HQ, citysociallondon.com. Tate Modern Kitchen and BarNot the gallery’s flagship restaurant, but this casual spot has an enviable view across the Thames to St Paul’s."

"Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant at the Savoy is one of the most versatile options for families looking for a very special dining experience in central London. The children’s options represent pretty fantastic value for money too, offering dishes like halibut and cod with chips and sausage and mash for £8.50. The vegan, gluten free and vegetarian menus on offer here make this one of the most appealing options for families with diverse tastes and requirements too."

"Located inside one of London's most iconic hotels, The Savoy Grill does fine-dining the old fashioned way. White table-cloths and sparkling glassware make up the setting, while the food offers a luxurious selection of classic British eats, from steaks and Waldorf salads, to grilled lobster and fresh rock oysters."

"Chef Gordon Ramsay is one of the most famous British chefs today. Although he may have a bit of an intimidating personality on TV, his restaurants are consistently excellent. The Savoy Grill, situated in the Savoy Hotel, is no exception."

"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."

"Its small Newport Court home gained legions of fans as a cheap and cheerful favourite, serving spicy dan dan noodles and fist-sized baozi buns that start at just £2.80 per steaming handful. Its newer locations in Romilly Street and Little Newport Street (taking over the space once held by the much-missed Baiwei) have sharpened up a bit both on the menu and off it – the Maoist art that covers the first still makes the occasional appearance. At Romilly Street, it’s all about the aesthetically tickling dim sum: ruby prawn dumplings are wrapped in bright pink beetroot pastry, while the watercress prawn versions are golden with turmeric."

"Restaurants Chinese Chinatown. Kitsch Communist Revolution decor meets northern Chinese street food tidied up for London at this lively joint on Newport Court. True to Sichuanese form, red is the predominant colour and chilli fire the overriding taste sensation: dan dan noodles, smacked cucumber salad and crescent dumplings are all good."

"Tuck into traditional street food from Northern China at three-storey Baozi Inn in Chinatown. Choose from light-as-air baozi (steamed buns), house speciality dan dan noodles or hearty noodle broths; all at an affordable price. The decor fuses Chairman Mao-themed artwork and traditional lanterns with modern furnishings."

"This Stoke Newington spot has held a Green Flag award since 2006, and is deservedly popular. It's very child friendly, with a decent play area and even a small zoo (and, like Richmond park, boasts deer also). In a pre-lockdown world, the park often hosted events, from twilight walks in search of bats to football festivals to sessions discovering the edible fruit and flowers which grow in the grounds."

"It’s got tennis courts and bowling green for when you’re feeling particularly energetic, but the park itself is big enough to get a good stroll in. You can see the whole thing by walking the perimeter, looping in the Grade-II listed Clissold House and the lakes on the way. If that doesn’t earn you a picnic after, nothing does."

"Clissold Park is a great park to come and enjoy some nature in London. Easy to get to from Stoke Newington you can enjoy peaceful waters and cute, inquisitive deer within minutes of leaving central London."

"This superb example of a Georgian garden was created for the Temple family by the most famous gardeners of the 18th century. Capability…"

"St Lawrence Jewry is a splendid Baroque church by Sir Christopher Wren, built on the site of an earlier church destroyed in the Great Fire. It’s across the square from London Guildhall, and is the official church of the Lord Mayor of London and the City of London Corporation. The Jewry in its name refers to the London Jewish ghetto, which was centred around the street named Old Jewry, which can be found less than 100 metres east along Gresham Street from the church – it’s on the right."

"St Lawrence Jewry was founded in the 12th century and dedicated to St Lawrence, roasted alive on a gridiron in 3rd century Rome. The church was rebuilt by Wren in1670-87. It was one of Wren’s most expensive City Churches and was badly gutted on 29th December 1940."

"Situated next to the Guildhall in the old Jewish quarter, this was rebuilt by Wren after the original burned down in the Great Fire"
