St John Hotel 1 Leicester St London WC2H 7BL T: 020 3301 8069 Map We happened upon this place completely by chance on a Friday night.

Opera Tavern 23 Catherine St London WC2B 5JS T: 020 7836 3680 Map Another excellent meal from the team behind Dehesa.

Powder Keg Diplomacy 147 St. John’s Hill Battersea, London SW11D 1TQ T: 020 7450 6457 Map In stark contrast to its early days, it is now relatively easy to get a table at this quirky Battersea bar/restaurant.
