well before I read your "not to expensive", I was going to recommend The River Café, especially if you like Italian food

but it is ruinously expensive

Did you only just remember?!

You could always try Barbecoa near St Pauls. Not too horrific in price and decent food.

You have Gaucho's just south of the water too.

you might get away with that as a "per-head" price

but I think you need to book well in advance

the OXO tower is good too

We're thinking of doing a London trip for ours next month. What's good right now? Budget not a worry as we are so damn minted (actually not too pricey please...) ;-)

Will do Gordon's for a drink or two then a meal somewhere; probably a bit off the wall and unusual.
