Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in South

"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."

"Sushisamba is always a hit for Asian dining, with excellent food (think Japanese with a South American twist) and stellar views at its City site. Located at the famed Opera Terrace atop the historic Grade II-listed Market Building, this striking space is crowned by an Eric Parry-designed glass roof. Bold in design, the restaurant offers a host of inviting dining and drinking experiences: from the bar with its ‘living ceiling’, the exposed kitchen and high energy sushi bar, to the terrace overlooking The Piazza below, and the private dining room with its own entrance and terrace."

"Dinings restaurant, located in the Marylebone area of London, is a quirky Japanese tapas and sushi restaurant. It first opened its doors to the public six years ago, with excellent Izakaya style dining offering the very highest quality dishes, atmosphere and accompaniments. Since then, the menu has evolved into Japanese tapas, a heady fusion of traditional Japanese cuisine and contemporary European flavours."

"This is where people go for sushi in central London when they don’t want to go Mayfair. Much better than its newer sister in Chelsea, Dinings in Marylebone still has a very loyal following because it serves some of the best sushi in the city. A classic mix of counter and a small number of tables serving a first-rate sushi and sashimi menu with a very classic grounding."

"Dinings is a contemporary Japanese Tapas and Sushi restaurant located in Marylebone. The restaurant offers food based on the traditional Japanese Izakaya style with modern European influences where the menu is split into hot tapas, cold tapas and a large sashimi and sushi selection. Takeaway is also available for lunch and dinner."

"If like me, you’ve got a proper sweet tooth, then Rokais right up your street. Bringing you neither one, nor two, but a whole assortment of treats, the dessert platter (£26) is the epitome of end-of-the-night feasting. Between exotic fruits and delicate sorbets, exquisite cheesecakes and the cutest chocolate Buddha, there’s a little bit of everything."

"This seven-seater on a Clerkenwell side street arguably serves the best sushi in town. Run by husband-and-wife team Harumi and Toru Takahashi, it is almost impossible to book. But when guests arrive at this shrine to sushi, they will find Toru expertly slivering and slicing smackingly fresh fish, visible from a counter-style bar."

"Outside of lockdown this teeny Clerkenwell sushi restaurant is one of the best in town and, consequently, the hardest to get a seat at. During lockdown it’s been more egalitarian. There’s just one option - a dining set with Omakase - which gives you a range of sashimi, sushi rice and more for you to make up as you’d like."

"Good sushi is a marriage of produce and skill – two things which The Araki prides itself on enough to warrant a £310 price tag for its one and only menu option. The three Michelin-starred restaurant was opened by Tokyo-based sushi master Mitsuhiro Araki, who specialises in the 200-year-old practices of edomae sushi making. For four years, Araki was the only chef to serve at the London restaurant, creating and personally serving a omakase menu for just nine people per service."

"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."

"The only London restaurant to be newly awarded three Michelin stars in the last eight years (and the only three Michelin star Japanese restaurant in the UK), the Araki is incredibly expensive but somehow lives up to its price tag. Worshipped by chefs and regulars alike, it’s a culinary pilgrimage. All the fish and ingredients are locally sourced, with the salmon, for example, from the Irish sea."

"This museum is one of the most atmospheric and fascinating in London. The Georgian building was the beautiful, bewitching home of architect Sir John Soane (1753–1837), which he bequeathed to the nation through an Act of Parliament on condition that it remain untouched after his death and free to visit. It's brimming with Soane's vast collection of art and archaeological purchases, as well as intriguing personal effects and curiosities. The house-museum represents his exquisite and eccentric tastes, persuasions and proclivities."

"Sir John (1753–1837), architect of the Bank of England, bequeathed his eccentric house to the nation on one condition: that nothing…"

"The second most popular tourist attraction in the UK, Tate Modern, is a striking London structure. Originally a Power Station, Tate Modern opened in May 2000 as a home to international modern and contemporary art. Displays in Tate Modern cover themes such as Transformed Visions and Poetry and Dream, and give visitors the opportunity to see works of art such as Pablo Picasso's 'Weeping Woman,' 'Metamorphosis of Narcissus' by Salvador Dalí, and 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' by Dorothea Tanning."

"London's Dulwich Picture Gallery is the oldest public art gallery in the country, opening its doors in 1817. The gallery was designed by architect Sir John Soane and is a Grade II listing on England's National Heritage List for its design. Today, the Dulwich Picture Gallery has one of England's best collections of Old Masters."

"Dulwich Picture Gallery opened in 1817 in Southwark, southeast London. It is the first purpose-built and London’s oldest art gallery. Nowadays besides the permanent collection of Old Master paintings, the gallery offers a program of temporary exhibitions, as well as public events that engage the community."

"Another Brixton Village restaurant, Kamome is also offering a delivery via Deliveroo and Just Eat. Kamome’s Japanese menu includes plenty of sushi and noodles, plus donburi, and katsu curry. Further information can be found on the restaurant’s website."
