Restaurants in London

The South Eastern part of London draws every kind of crowd. The Thames is ever-present and with it come landmarks such as Tower Bridge. The South Bank, meanwhile, is the go-to destination in London for culture and the arts.

Mottingham near Eltham is where you'll find Jolpai Indian Cuisine which has an excellent reputation for its service and extensive and flavoursome menus. If you like delicious Japanese food and rock music then there's every chance you'll love Rock Star Sushi Bar in Merton. Greenwich is the location for Green Pea which is a coffee house by day, and a restaurant serving home-cooked Irish-English cuisine by night. And while you eat, admire the art because Green Pea is also a gallery and holds a brand new exhibition each month.

The cultured crowds of the South Bank have fuelled the rise of wine bars and brasseries, while Conran's gastrodome complex is the dominant power around Tower Bridge. Out in the suburbs, smaller neighbourhood restaurants manage to get a foothold and carve out their place in the South East's food scene. London is crowded with places to eat, and there's a great variety of food on offer. For British pub food visit La Lanterna.
