Ting at the Shangri-La
On the 35th floor of the Shard, Ting delivers the astonishing views that you would expect. What I didn't expect was the incredible food that was pretty good value for money - £55 for four mouth-watering courses and the prettiest dessert I've ever seen!Read more
Tate Modern Kitchen & Bar
Nothing quite like sitting down with a cold, crisp glass of wine after a stroll along the south bank. The bar on the 6th floor of Tate Modern also comes with one of the best views in town AND the added benefit of supporting a fantastic arts institution. Later weekend opening times make this a great place to watch the sunset.Read more

Did you know?
"In 1961, Britain's first self service petrol station was opened and situated on the south side of Southwark Bridge."
For me the Southbank is one of the finest places to take a stroll in the whole of the city.

Gothic Literature & Women
When people hear the word ‘horror’, they might often think of violence, fear, and of women in peril. But the relationship between horror and women is far richer - and far more surprising - than many realise. From the rise of the Gothic in the eighteenth century, women have been at the heart of the horror genre, not just as characters, but as creators. These chilling tales were often written by women, for women, and became a powerful space to explore their deepest fears, desires, and frustrations. Horror offered something radical: a genre that could challenge social norms, question power structures, and give voice to the unspoken. In this fast-paced, four-century journey through literary history, we’ll uncover how women have shaped the horror genre - transforming haunted houses, ghosts, vampires, and monsters into metaphors for real-life struggles.Read more
