About 15 minutes walk from the apartment. "Located on the 38th and 39th floors at 110 Bishopsgate, SUSHISAMBA delivers a unique blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine, culture, music and striking design to the City of London. The location features the highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe, offering unparalleled, 360 degree views of the City. Two panoramic glass elevators whisk patrons from the ground to the 39th floor, opening up London from inside-out as the lifts climb further and further upwards. SUSHISAMBA’s main dining room – with its dramatic ceilings – overlooks views of London with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides. A grid of lights hung through the open bamboo ceiling at varying heights creates a magical experience during daytime and evening, creating an intimate dining experience. The indoor-outdoor elements featured throughout the space, most notably, the designed structural orange tree on the west terrace. The tree sculpture reinforces the earth-to-sky motif while being an artwork in itself, reminiscent of great 20th century art and creates a dialogue with the street art found throughout the space"

Poppies Fish & Chips, the authentic and much-loved chippy from the East End has brought everything you have come to know and love from the original shops on Hanbury Street and Hawley Crescent, to their kiosk in the market.
No strangers to pushing the envelope, the kiosk has Poppies edible newspaper housing your choice of cod or haddock, alongside either battered or classic sausages, fishcakes, saveloy, jellied eels, bottled wine and beer, and of course hearty portions of chips.
Although renowned for their authentic, delicious fish and chips, Poppies is as much about its owner – 72-year-old Pat ‘Pop’ Newland. Pop started in the fish and chips business in the 1950s when he was just a minnow, at 11 years old, cutting newspaper to wrap the portions as they were dished out.
