Mother – Circus West Village

What mother is renowned for is their trademark sourdough pizzas – made with purified seawater and baked in a wood-fired oven. It makes the pizzas very light and healthy. This back-to-nature approach by owners David Biffani and Nick Pound is behind the acclaimed dough recipe and the fresh and organic produce.

mother’s mix of Italian coziness and Scandinavian simplicity is the perfect spot for a tasty lunch, a riverside dinner or a buffet brunch.

Atami – Riverlight

Cottons – St Georges Wharf

Bringing the exotic vibes of the Caribbean to London in true tiki style, Cottons fans can now get their fix south of the river with the arrival of Cottons Caribbean Restaurant & Rum Shack at St Georges Wharf, Vauxhall.

Taking over an enviable riverside location on the south bank, Cottons Vauxhall features a large indoor restaurant and rum shack bar with additional seating on the exclusive river-facing outside terrace.

Brunswick House – St Georges Wharf

The restaurant-antique store amalgam is a one-of-a-kind central London destination. Run by the renowned Jackson Boxer, the restaurant offers great lunch and dinner options like pistachio burrata, pecorino venison, sea bream and much more. These dishes are crafted from fresh produce supplied by New Covent Garden Market.

 

Cafes:

The CoffeeWorks Project – Circus West Village

The CoffeeWorks Project is an independent family run business with a simple aim: to showcase the best quality coffee, tea and food in a friendly and relaxed environment. The CoffeeWorks Project has been awarded Time Out’s Love London Awards three years in a row and voted one of London’s Top 30 coffee shops by the London Coffee Guide – establishing itself as one of London’s most progressive speciality coffee houses. With successful outlets in Angel, Blackfriars and Leadenhall, they have made their mark in the London coffee scene.

The Black Cab Coffee Company cafe – Riverlight

The space is contemporary, cosy and cool with large windows that filter natural light throughout. It’s the perfect spot to go for a boozy brunch (served all day and yes, they’re licensed) or an afternoon coffee and delectable dessert. The place is a blend of local and global where beans from Costa Rica and Guatemala are roasted in-house and honey is brought in from Essex meadows. The service is attentive and engaged and the quality of the food is top-notch.

Pret-A-Manger – St Georges Wharf

 

Supermarkets:

Vagabond – Circus West Village

Vagabond sprang out of frustration with the London wine scene in late 2010. Back then, independent wine retail was crashing; multiple merchant chains had closed and wine drinkers were largely caught between bland, mass-produced wines with dishonest discounts at the supermarkets or ultra-specialist wine stores that exuded off putting superiority. They saw a different way.

The General Store – Circus West Village

The Battersea General Store offers a huge range of goods from all around the world, while also celebrating local craft produce.

Sainsbury’s – Riverlight

Waitrose – Embassy Gardens

Tesco – St Georges Wharf
