Tuck Into A Deluxe Burger With A View Over Tower Bridge

Snagging an outside table is an absolute must at Butler's Wharf Chop House — spend your evening munching on a deluxe burger with an incredible view of Tower Bridge.

The thick, juicy burger comes in a brioche bun, fat potato-y chips and red pepper and tomato chutney, but of course we had to go the whole hog and add cheese and bacon as well. Some may feel £15.50-£19.50 for a burger is on the pricey side — even for London — but the sun setting over the Thames and the spectacular view make the cost worth it for a special evening out. We defy you to not spend the whole evening

For dessert we finished up with some deliciously cool vanilla ice cream which, as you might expect from Chop House, tasted richly of actual vanilla beans — no artificial nonsense here. There are a few other locations in their franchise, so if you’re tired of Thames-side dining, perhaps you'd instead like to chow down a burger at their St Paul's location — the setting for programme First Dates.
