Oxo Tower Restaurant & Brasserie
The conversion of the old Oxo Tower on the South Bank into housing with this restaurant on the 8th floor helped spur much of the dining renaissance south of the river. In the stunning glassed-in terrace you have a front-row seat for the best view in London, and you pay for this (not the fusion food) handsomely in the brasserie and stratospherically in the restaurant. Fish dishes – confit sea bass with truffle gnocchi, black bream escabèche – usually comprise half the menu.

Maze
If you want to sample the Gordon Ramsay magic in small doses, try this light-filled restaurant on Grosvenor Sq. The Michelin star–winning menu fuses French haute cuisine and subtle Asian flavours – tasting is the idea here, so order several plates to make a meal.

Skylon
This cavernous restaurant on the top of the refurbished Royal Festival Hall is divided into grillroom and fine-dining sections with a large bar (open 11am to 1am) separating the two. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the Thames and the City, and the decor of muted colours and period chairs harkens back to the 1951 Festival of Britain, when the hall opened. Try the confit leg of duck or the sautéed rabbit loin. Weekday lunch is £21.50/26.50 for two/three courses.

Grafton House
The A-listers of Clapham rub shoulders in this very stylish bar-restaurant with marble floors, tropical hardwood tables and curved leather sofas. The menu is modern international – simple but with that extra caress (pumpkin risotto, venison and plum burger; lobster, crab and salmon fishcake) – and brunch is a big deal here, served daily from noon to 4pm. There’s live jazz on Sunday evenings.

Village East
Like a New York brasserie teleported into Bermondsey, Village East is moody and futuristic, with good steaks and Asian fusion dishes on the menu.
