The River Terrace at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith has an excellent view of the Bridge, beautiful at sunset and a mean fish and chips, still a bit of a hidden gem

What about Galvin at Windows or The Battery, two of Londons most amazing restaurants with a view. Do you actually carry out any research or do you just go with whatevers on your list, maybe its a close your eyes and stab a pencil on the globe technique! Time Out is sinking rapidly, I mean who wants to read about outdoor sex and the drug habits of Londoners. Stick to what you're meant to be good at reviewing London and the entertainment it has to offer.
