Le Pont De La tour

Pont De La Tour is a gorgeous restaurant in Tower Bridge, based in Shad Thames. We loved the location walking down by the River Thames and it has a lovely terrace area overlooking the bridge (it has fairy lights and blankets in the winter). The menu has French influences with fantastic food, staff and surroundings. It is definitely a place to impress clients, dine on a special occasion or on a romantic date! Look out for the set menus they offer throughout the year where you can get 3 courses for under £30.

The Savoy

The Savoy is an iconic 5 star London hotel dating back to the 1880s on the Strand, near Covent Garden. Have afternoon tea at The Thames Foyer which has a beautiful glass dome with comfortable sofas and a pianist serenading guests. The sandwiches, scones and pastries are incredible and you can ask for more of your favourites. A quintessentially English experience!

Helix Restaurant

If you are looking for a treat or somewhere to go for a special occasion, look no further than the Searcys Helix restaurant at the top of the Gherkin. Formerly a members only bar and restaurant, Searcys has recently opened this prime location to the public but make sure you book in advance. The drinks, food, service and views are superb and you will not come away disappointed! Make sure you check out the set menu deals where they offer a 3 course lunch including gin trio (£42) and 3 course dinner including a drink (£45).

Hutong

Dine with a view at Hutong restaurant, situated on Level 33 of the Shard London. The restaurant serves a range of dishes from Northern China and is appropriately themed throughout. The atmosphere and views at the Shard London are just wonderful and the lunch menu does not break the bank!

No Fifty Cheyne

No Fifty Cheyne is an exquisite brasserie in Chelsea. From the service to the beautiful floral decor, intimate space, sumptuous furniture and wonderfully crafted dishes, it was wonderful. The ingredients are of the finest quality and the emphasis on dining here being a real experience is evident from the level of service and the open grill coming to life in the midst of the dining room. There is a beautiful cocktail bar upstairs perfect for a drink also should you wish to check out the space.
