Guidebook for Greater London
Food Scene
One of the best rated restaurants in London and easy walking distance. No menu, no prices, you get what the chef patron wants to cook but you'll have to book well in advance and expect it to take at least 3 hours to dine.

Yes they sell plants but this is also a very serious and highly acclaimed restaurant. You can walk here along the river and then through a field (public footpath). You'll probably need to book and its not cheap.

Amazing Italian fountain at the end of a very pleasant river walk (or run). Looks great lit up at night too. They often have outdoor shakespeare plays here during the summer months. There's a small play area for the kids too.
