Skylon Bar and Restaurant

GIN-LOVER'S EXPERIENCE AT SKYLON and 1 other offer

The Skylon Bar and Restaurant serves brasserie style fare in an elegant interior. The full length windows make for excellent people watching opportunities as well as panoramic views across the River Thames. A cool cocktail menu provides refreshing classic concoctions alongside a menu of modern British fare. 

The Windmill SE1

Slinging out a droolworthy range of pub grub, The Windmill SE1 is the place to go for hungry tums. Scoff down British classics, such as shepherd's pie and roast dinners, as well as wild mushroom and spinach gnocchi. Plus there's an enticing menu of liquid libations to boot.

Strings

Mediterranean restaurant Strings is the whole package; from live guitar sets every evening to slick interiors, a huge selection of cocktails and swoon-worthy plates, it would be near impossible to turn down an opportunity to visit. Tapas choices include fried calamari with aioli, patatas bravas and garlic bruschetta. Wash it down with sangria and Aperol spritz, naturally

Wellington Waterloo

Make your way over to Wellington Waterloo, an old school boozer with lots of character, to stuff your face with scrumptious scran. While the sandwiches and Sunday roasts are also popular, the main menu showcases the likes of hearty pies, burgers and a veggie linguine.
