The closest pizzeria - get here early on a sunny weekend day as the outside tables go fast. Definitely worth a visit - although a chain, this is most certainly one of the nicest ones in town.

A really nice central London pub-style restaurant. Prince Harry often spotted here enjoying a low-key supper. Great service, tastefully decorated and not going to break the bank.

Malaysian takeaway - their Nasi Goreng and Thai Green Curry are definitely worth a try. Avoid the vegetable tempura at all costs. The word "soggy" doesn't come close to describing how bad they are!

A pub, which is a boat on the river. Lively in the evenings, this place is definitely not posh, but on a summer's day you can sit over the river and enjoy the passing boats. Best at low-tide.
