Fenchurch, Sky Garden

I’ve tried most of the high-rise restaurants in London, but for the view alone this one has to be my favourite so far. Some people apparently don’t like the fact that the giant windows are crisscrossed by girders, but I love the way this effectively divides up London into small frames, allowing the eye to concentrate and explore one scene before moving onto another.

Spaghetti House – Goodge Street

Nik ventures where the pretentious food bloggers dare not – a chain restaurant! Here at Spaghetti House, hidden away beneath the mountain of dishes on offer, he finds a tasty crab special, big enough to fill a man for lunch and for the rest of the day.
