Favorite Southwark pub filled with cozy snugs and literary associations just a block from Shakespeare's Globe

A Michelin-starred Mayfair classic with 360-degree views over Hyde Park and London

Fine French cuisine with Thameside views of the Tower of London

A rambling, 150-year-old Greenwich pub with decent grub, Dickens associations, and a small terrace overlooking the Thames

An elegant 18C pavilion where Queen Anne once entertained

Dining with a view across the Thames to the skyline of The City

Picnic like a king on the budget of a pauper
