I love the 5th Floor at Harvey Nichols. A variety of restaurants in this light and bright space (best for breakfast or lunch, I think), which also houses their food and grocery market, which is worth a look at as much as the crowd is !

The South Bank has an energy all of its own and there is always something going on there. At the heart of London's film and culture scene, take a stroll along the Thames River, grab a bite or drink in any of the many restaurants and cafes, and a scenic stroll over to Borough Market for the foodies out there !
