"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."

"At the Sky Garden you’ll get panoramic views of the city and you can also stop for food and drink. You have to book a ticket in advance to visit but it’s free. Head to skygarden.london for more info."

"Branches of the growing chain of Sushisamba restaurants can be found in New York, Chicago, Miami and beyond. London’s outpost is found on the 38th and 39th floors of the City’s Heron Tower so it’s likely you’ll see deals being brokered at nearby tables, but the atmosphere is kept in check by personable staff and the spread of dating couples out to have a good time. The menu’s an eclectic mix, too, featuring a blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine, alongside one of the most comprehensive sake selections in the city."

"It’s located on the 38th and 39thfloors of the Heron Tower, and has epic 360 views over the City. Needless to say both the interior design and views are very photogenic. SushiSamba is also one of the most Instagrammable restaurants in London."

"Possibly the best known of the City’s skyline-skimming restaurants, Duck and Waffle boasts not only 360 degree views of London, but also 24-hours-a-day to enjoy them in. The restaurant welcomes diners around the clock, allowing them to tuck into its eponymous dish – a confit duck leg and fried egg on a waffle with mustard maple syrup – from sunrise to sunset. Views of the Gherkin, a distant Canary Wharf and more are on hand, but be sure to sit near the window – it’s a little tricky to see its famous views from the centre of the dining room."

"Head to the 40th floor of 110 Bishopsgate for 24 hour views of London. Open seven days a week, this all-day dining spot takes British cuisine and gives it a playful twist, with waffles taking focus. Book one of the squidgy leather window booths for the best views, and tuck into waffles topped with caramelised banana, hazelnut chocolate spread, vanilla ice cream and peanut crunch, or, go for the signature savoury one with crispy duck let confit, fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup."

"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."

"05/06/2021: We hadn’t been out for ages with the pandemic but after a tough week, decided we needed a treat. The kings head delivered with excellent staff and Covid precautions in place. The food is so good!"

"The King’s Head, Teddington is a welcoming pub and brasserie serving an a la carte menu and Sunday lunch. The King’s Head is well positioned to ..."

"If summers in Scotland are good enough for the Queen, they're good enough for us. And, if The Macallan Manor House at Rosewood London has anything to do with it, we won't even have to leave London for ours. We'll be there eating lamp rump with Jersey royal potatoes and spring vegetables without a care in the world (before becoming mildly agitated when we're forced to choose just one whisky cocktail)."

"Restaurants Contemporary European Mayfair. Whether you choose the hugely atmospheric, velvet-hued basement dining room or the street-level wine bar, this Mayfair neighbourhood restaurant (named after an eighteenth-century courtesan) will put a big smile on your face. Sample the cod with fennel and artichoke, or the Iberico presa (a thick cut of pork shoulder)."

"Curled up in one of the quaintest corners of St James, Kitty Fisher’s is the perfect bolthole for cosy tête-à-têtes. Candlelit and adorned with period paintings, the Shepherd Market spot revels in the building’s Victorian heritage across its two diminutive dining rooms. The menu is a of elegant but heartwarming treats: the gooey, deeply flavoured Welsh rarebit topped with chilli is neatly portioned for two."

"After lunch we stopped at Kew Palace, a 17th century building that was the summer home of King George III in the 18th century. It’s actually the oldest building in Kew Gardens and it has been turned into a museum showcasing the history and bringing to life King George and his wife Queen Charlotte and their 15 children’s lives in the palace over the three levels. There is a perfectly manicured garden out the back which gives a stunning view."

"The 17th-century home of King George III, who preferred the countryside to the urban St James's Palace. Today only the building known as the Dutch House remains, however it is kept in immaculate condition."

"The King George III summer home, Kew Palace is one of London’s lesser-known royal residences and is the oldest building in the Gardens, built in 1631 for a Flemish merchant, Samuel Fortrey."

"The Davies Alpine House is a somewhat different greenhouse, it is quite long (16m) and high (10m) and was designed to provide ideal conditions, fresh with natural wind for the best conditions the mountain plants. The collection features a wide range of campanulas, dianthus, small ferns, helichrysum, small lavenders, primulas, saxifrage, thymus, tulips and verbascums along with lesser known species."

"Many of the plants at Kew couldn't survive in Britain's grey, damp climate. The Davies Alpine House supports those that thrive in dry, cool, windy conditions of mountainous areas such as succulents and campanulas,"

"There are some occasions when you want a date to feel special and you can never go wrong at Claridge's, especially now that Swiss chef Daniel Humm has brought his slick New York service to Davies & Brook, the new flagship restaurant for the hotel. Roni Horn’s photographs line the walls – each features the landscape of Iceland in such a way as to resemble a woman's breast, surely something to add to the romantic atmosphere. The space is as elegant as they come, and the intricate creations appearing from the kitchen are perfect conversation starters."

"Chef Daniel Humm and team have adapted their space at Claridges hotel – formerly home to restaurants by both Simon Rogan and Gordon Ramsay – by opening a small terrace with a paired-down menu. Lobster rolls and hotdogs recall his ‘other’ restaurant Eleven Madison Park’s summer pop-ups in the Hamptons. These are of course not any old rolls and ‘dogs and prices reflect that this is a kitchen potentially on the way to at least a second Michelin star in the next guide."

"Yes, it is a strange old world we live in, but Davies & Brook is delivering from its home inside the Mayfair hotel. The box for one features fried chicken, three sides, house rolls, and raspberry cheesecake and will cost you £35. You can pick it up, or you can place an order to get it delivered direct from their website"
