Want take in a great view of London while dining on a delicious meal?  Then consider these four fine dining restaurants with fantastic view of London’s skyline.

1. Ting 

Location: 32 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9SG

At the Shard’s Shangri-La hotel, the 35th floor restaurant makes its long-awaited entrance. Ting is a meeting of East and West. Elevation-chasers should visit the bar on level 52 for digestifs. The east-facing window seats are best.

2.  SkyGarden 

Location: Levels 35 – 37, 20 Fenchurch Street, City of London, London EC3

Twenty Fenchurch Street, AKA the Walkie Talkie, grabbed attention last year when light reflected from its concave glass façade melted parts of a car. Now it has two rooftop restaurants, set in a covered ‘sky garden.’  Best view is from the front of Darwin’s Brasserie’s upper level.

3.  Min Jiang 

Location: Royal Garden Hotel, 2-24 Kensington High Street, London W8 4PT

What they lack in altitude they make up for in splendour. Popular with travellers from the Far East who want a taste of China.

4.  City Social  

Location: Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1HQ

Jason Atherton’s latest venture on the 24th floor of the old ‘NatWest Tower.’ The best views are from table 14.
