Here's a remarkable dining experience on the banks of the Thames just a few yards north of the Millennium Bridge, with some of the best views that London can offer. At High Timber, the culinary experience is excellent, offering a variety of traditional British and European dishes, prepared in a superb fashion. The passion of the owners and chefs is evident in the fine detailing that goes into the preparation of every dish and it doesn't take too long for you to figure out that this is indeed a premier dining spot.

From the imaginative menu, choose appetisers of pulled shoulder middle white pork, apple and vanilla puree and crackling wafer, before commencing on a main course of breast of organic Devon duck, glazed baby turnips, watercress and orange. Cumbrian beef makes an appearance in the form of steaks served with a variety of sauces and you can end with the chocolate fondant, caramel and salt ice cream. Their cellar stocks an astonishing 40,000 bottles, some affordable, others priceless vintages.
