Food Scene
Amazing Japanese and Asian food. Very small place inside, so advance booking essential. Try sushi and baked aubergine with peanut sauce. No alcohol served - allows to bring your own bottle, no corkage charge. Also possible to do takeaway but they don't deliver.

A pub on the river with outdoors seating. Great place of a pint while enjoying the views of the Thames, The O2 and Canary Wharf. Classic & homey british dishes, including fish & chips. Outdoors spaces are limited, but many choose to buy a pint and just sit on the river bank and watch the speedboats pass by.

Gastropub which is hip inside, traditional on the outside. Has a nice beer garden, and a delicatessen counter with great selection of cheeses. Also ice-cream corner in the summer, so great for having a long weekend lunch for families with kids.
