Where do London Bridge locals go?
Tate Modern Kitchen & Bar
Nothing quite like sitting down with a cold, crisp glass of wine after a stroll along the south bank. The bar on the 6th floor of Tate Modern also comes with one of the best views in town AND the added benefit of supporting a fantastic arts institution. Later weekend opening times make this a great place to watch the sunset.Read more
Ting at the Shangri-La
On the 35th floor of the Shard, Ting delivers the astonishing views that you would expect. What I didn't expect was the incredible food that was pretty good value for money - £55 for four mouth-watering courses and the prettiest dessert I've ever seen!Read more

"The Great Fire of London began in a bakers on Pudding Lane in 1666 and destroyed a third of the city. It took five days to put out, with one of the methods used being gunpowder to demolish buildings and create breaks in the flames."
