"20 Fenchurch Street was beautifully designed by renowned architect Rafael Viñoly. The building spans 37 storeys and rhubarb occupies the top three levels alongside the public space known as Sky Garden, which provides 45,000 sq ft of high level amenity space. Visitors can wander around the exquisitely landscaped gardens with 360 degree panoramic views of London and all of the flora and fauna they need!"

"A lush oasis from the chaotic pace of London, it will captivate children and adults alike. Spectacular 360-degree views, exotic plants and an array of dining choices await you, and admission is free!. Your visit begins with an online ticket reservation."

"Equal parts Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian, SUSHISAMBA – nestled high up on the 38th and 39th floors of 110 Bishopsgate – is the place to see and be seen in the heart of the City of London. Standing tall as the second-highest restaurant in London and with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, this space beguiles its guests with its immersive views of the city at night. Order yourself a moqueca mista – a platter of jumbo shrimp, squid, sea bass and mussels with coconut milk, dende oil and chimichurri rice – and you’ll catch a feeling for why people fall in love with SUSHISAMBA."

"The second venture following the City site, this West End restaurant offers a unique mix of Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. When it's not hosting a swanky celeb-filled party, head to Sushisamba for leafy decor and beautifully plated cooking."

"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."

"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."

"Restaurants Spanish Soho. Sipping a gloriously red blood-orange bellini just out of reach of Carnaby Street’s weekend crowds is enough to make you feel like Dehesa is your own little secret. This calm and classy dining room serves a Spanish-style brunch that’s a far cry from your trad Brit offerings."

"With an impressive wine list and unique signature cocktails, Soho's Dehesa also fronts some stunning Italian-inspired eats from charcuterie and cheeses, to Mediterranean tapas plates."

"Making fine dining accessible, chef Nico Simeone offers six-course themed tasting menus, which change ever six weeks. Plenty of fun and full of tableside theatrics including fun cocktails and dishes which aren’t what they seem."

"33-41 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 1RR Why should you care?. Scottish chef Nico Simeone is heading to London with his concept restaurant, hitting up Fitzrovia with a regularly changing tasting menu."

"One of the highlights at Market Halls West End is Good Birds, the rotisserie chicken concept from Flank’s Tom Griffiths. Rotisserie chicken might not sound all that exciting on paper but these really some seriously good birds, cooked low and slow over the flames. But where Good Birds really stands out are the sauces that you can choose to come with the chicken – there’s chicken gravy; fire cracker hot; and, our favourite, smoked chilli sambal."

"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."

"We’re sure your partner is the one etc, but the allure of what comes out of the Davies and Brook kitchen might just turn your head. Serious foodies can’t help but fall for Daniel Humm’s critically acclaimed food at his new restaurant inside the ever-atmospheric Claridge’s hotel. In the daytime, the room is light and bright – but by the evening, the lamps dim and the already elegant setting becomes irresistibly intimate."

"Davies & Brook is elegantly furnished with a minimalist style. Opening its doors in 2019, Davies and Brook is the newest restaurant on this list by a considerable margin. However, considering the level of culinary talent in the kitchen, it was impossible to leave out."

"The carousel of rotating chefs at this Hackney wine bar and shop are currently responsible for some of the capital’s most arresting gourmet artistry. This is the pared-back playground for some of the world’s most innovative and movable chefs. Amazingly — given use of only three inductions hobs — over the past four years, chefs William Gleave, Tim Spedding, George Tomlin and Giuseppes Lacorazza and Belvedere, respectively, have positioned P."

"Over the last four years, the carousel of rotating chefs at this Hackney wine bar and shop have been responsible for some of the capital’s most arresting gourmet artistry. Though an early pivot to food via delivery from across the P. Franco portfolio looked promising, the business decided it was unable to continue safely."

"Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, noodles in a rich, pork-bone broth, is what they do here, and they do it spectacularly well. Arguably the best in London, this authentic Japanese dish will set the bar for all ramen to follow. The broth is flavoursome, the noodles silky with just the right amount of bite, and toppings range from traditional, comforting pork belly to fiery jalapeños and caramelised black garlic (don’t order the latter if you have an afternoon business meeting)."

"Trading on authenticity, this ramen chain dispenses its bowls of noodles in long-simmered bone-stock broth with impressive speed and Japanese efficiency. The Dracula tonkotsu is a must-have, the hirata buns are wickedly good, and there’s an awesome choice of sake, shochu and umeshu for aficionados. Flagship site: 3 Denman Street, W1D 7HA"

"There is a saying in Japanese “Issho ni ichido” which broadly translates to ‘once-in-a-lifetime experience.’ It applies to eating at The Araki, a 10-seat Mayfair restaurant by one of Tokyo’s most venerable sushi masters Araki Mitsuhiro. Mitsuhiro has now returned to Japan, but The Araki still serves a “no-choice” £300 pp menu spotlighting rare and luxurious ingredients: Sea bream sashimi topped with caviar from albino sturgeons or marinated tuna tartare under Alba white truffles. The tuna-focused nigiri here are meticulous."

"Mitsuhiro Araki, owner of the restaurant Araki, slices a piece of high quality tuna he purchased at Tsukiji Fish Market that morning. There are just five restaurants in the UK that hold three Michelin-stars, and only one of them has nine seats and costs £300 a head. The Araki is arguably the most exclusive restaurant in London, with single-figure diners permitted to watch Mitsuhiro Araki expertly prepare sushi and taste the outcome at any given sitting."

"An unassuming unit steps away from a Pizza Express on a Marylebone side street houses some of the area’s best quality sushi. An extensive a la carte menu of sashimi and nigiri is where to head, with a nod to the seasonal razor clam and abalone if the time is right. The knowing wit of placing “bowl of boiled rice” on “hot, eat-in menu” says everything about Ohisama’s priorities; that said, the selection of vegetarian rolls, including a fine rendition of ume shiso, is a gesture of hospitality in a space so focussed on the quality and preparation of raw fish."

"If low-key, quick-in-quick-out sushi is what you’re after, you’ll be hard pressed to find better quality sushi in this part of central than Ohisama’s. This utilitarian spot has tables downstairs, but upstairs is almost entirely counter seating, and that’s where you want to be. If you go for one of the excellent omakase options, dinner will easily end up costing you £70 or more, but we tend to go for one of the lower priced sushi or sashimi sets which should be more than enough if you’re not quite up for making a night of it."

"Situated in North London, Highgate Wood is one of the four ancient woods of the London Borough of Haringey (together with Queen’s Wood, Coldfall Wood and Bluebell Wood). Containing an impressive variety of trees and shrub species, the Highgate Wood is the home for many foxes, grey squirrels, as well as multiple species of birds, bats, butterflies and spiders. Besides the fact that it was included among the eight Green Heritage Sites in London, Highgate Wood also attracts visitors with its recreational facilities like children playgrounds, cafés, walking trails and sporting fields."

"‘Come hungry, leave wobbly’ is the slogan of this restaurant and bar. Starting out as a humble food truck selling burgers in South London, Meat Liquor have grown into a full chain with restaurants across London, selling not just their famous burgers, but a range of exciting cocktails, chilli dogs, buffalo wings and other American favourites. Sticking close to their roots, their King’s Cross branch is based in a repurposed tram shed, slinging burgers out of a life size replica train."

"Restaurants Burgers Marylebone. Meat and liquor (duh) are the speciality here, with graffiti on the walls and a burger menu that helped kickstart London’s dude food scene. Home of the iconic Dead Hippie burger (two french mustard fried patties smothered in trade-marked sauce), the big surprise is that it’s the buffalo chicken burger that will change your life."

"Burgers , Diner"

"Restaurants Portobello Road. Easily outclassing its previous incarnations, this sidekick of Notting Hill’s Electric Cinema is done out like a grungy New York diner – all bare brick, concrete and red leather banquettes. A blaring soundtrack adds to the vibe, while the supersized menu is stuffed with Stateside classics – Philly chilli cheese dogs, hot Reuben sandwiches, wedge salads and unmissable ‘fries au cheval’ (inspired by Chicago’s Au Cheval diner)."

"191 Portobello Rd, London W11 2ED, United Kingdom www.electricdiner.comBare brick walls and booths give the Electric Diner a real authentic feel in their Portobello Road premises. They serve a mean Diner Hot Dog, along with their Philly Pork and Swiss Cheese Burger, so tick all the boxes on the foot front. Of course Brooklyn Beer is their mainstay on the drink front."

"This place dishes up all the usual American fare in classic booth seating. Pop-in to satisfy your cravings day or night, as they serve until midnight (or until 1am on Friday and Saturday) and offer an extensive American breakfast menu from 8am."
