The best Tapas bar in London owned by a friend of mine funnily enough called José, no need to book but you may need to wait 10-15 minutes at busy times for a table. Trust me - worth it!

So, you want to see London from the river? How about you take the cable car from Western Gateway to the O2 and then catch a fast boat down to Westminster. I do this instead of taking the Tube often.
