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

Did you know?
"The Prospect of Whitby claims to be the oldest surviving riverside tavern with a lineage back to the early sixteenth century, despite the building itself burning down in a nineteenth century fire. A refreshing spot for people visiting pirates hanging at Execution Dock, famous artists such as Whistler and Turner painted views from the tavern."
Tower Bridge is one of London's most iconic and beautiful landmarks that I love seeing on my way to work every day.

There's no better place in London than Wapping! I love the impressive mix of modern developments and historic buildings.

Rotherhithe has a rich industrial history, so expect to find architectural gems amongst modern residential developments in this area.
