    We stopped at the Founders bar on Sunday afternoon for a drink and to enjoy the view. It was very busy but a very nice couple let us share their bench so we ordered a bowl of chips and fish and chips… the best I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Fast service and friendly staff … thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Will be recommending to any friends visiting London.

    Nice pub on the riverfront with views of St Paul’s opposite. We had Sunday lunch which was nice but the beef could have been less pink and the gravy was too runny for me but some might prefer that . All in all a good place to stop for a bite to eat. The fish and chips looked great and lots of people were ordering that when we were there.

    This restaurant was pretty nice. It was super busy, indicating that it is quite popular and famous. There were pictures of the queen, and the king or the prince; I forgot who it was, visiting this restaurant. our waiter was super nice, and she gave me two thumbs up when we were ready to pay the bill, and that just made me happy. For some reason she seemed like she really liked her job and was genuinely passionate about it. She asked, and confirmed that we were OK before we gave her a tip, which wouldn’t be common in our home country of Canada.
