Great food in a glass-walled Benugo restaurant that has a varied menu made using local produce. It is just a short walk from London Liverpool Street and Spitalfields Market.

Why not explore the nearby areas of City, Aldgate, Barbican, Spitalfields, Borough, Southwark, Shoreditch, Wapping, Whitechapel and Clerkenwell

The commanding architecture at the heart of London's busiest financial district certainly leaves a lasting impression.
