Don't accept a room in the new block. That section is more like a Radisson and a million miles away from the charm of the main/old building. I love the hotel but these rooms are just below par.

Great views over the Thames - our favourite is the Brasserie rather than the formal restaurant - more chilled

If you are in a group, forget the £20 lobster/roll/burger. Instead go for the juicy big lobsters from 'The Catch' specials board.
one of the best burgers i've ever had in my life (for the record: i've been to the famous burger joint in NY and many others). ask for a burger+salad instead of burger+fries!

The restaurant and bar here are a real favourite. Some of the best all round meals I've had in London have been on the toptable offer here; they have addictive bread! Great cocktails and wine too.
Right on Dazed HQs doorstep- our favourite place to lunch, a street of market food from thai, Mexican, falafels and the best burritos. Also don’t walk past the guy selling brownies without trying one!

Best Russian restaurant in London with a great choice of food .. Try the pelmeni, they are delicious 😉
My favourite local spot for food shopping: excellent organic products - from fruit and vegetable over dairy, meat, bread and to juices and desserts. I also love interiors of this place and kind staff.
