Food scene

A fantastic upmarket restaurant, oyster bar, bar and bakery is located just around the corner – you can walk across the water feature outside which is quite fun. The theme is Irish with American hints as the Irish owner lived in the US for many years. It’s open for breakfast or you can just buy bread from their bakery. The barmen serve excellent cocktails and you can just go for a coffee, drink, snack or full meal with excellent good quality cuts of meat and fresh fish (London upmarket prices though so be warned). My top tip they are currently running an Oyster happy hour from 5-7pm, when oysters are only £1! On Sundays from 1-3pm they have live jazz.

A hidden restaurant is in the headquarters of Lassco who are an architectural salvage firm who sell period architectural pieces like fireplaces, lamps, cornices etc. The restaurant is nice and they also have a small bar area. My top tip ask for the Managing Director Ferris Auger and tell him he looks like Christian Slater 

Supermarket

A Large Waitrose Opening hours currently Mon-Sat 07.30am-22.00pm & Sun 12.00-18.00 UK leading upmarket chain of supermarkets is located 300m from the apartment back on the main road Nine Elms Lane direction away from Vauxhall Station. This is a large format supermarket and there are some strong reusable plastic shopping bags under the sink in the kitchen that you can use to save plastic. My top tip the fish and meat counters often have great bargains towards the end of the day.

Neighbourhoods

Welcome to Nine Elms. As you will see this is a completely new exciting area of Central London and location for the huge new US Embassy. It is the largest American Embassy in Western Europe and the focal point for events relating to the United States held in the United Kingdom. A team led by the firm of Kieran Timberlake won the competition to design the new embassy building and surrounding green spaces. The winning design resembles a crystalline cube, with a semi-circular pond on one side (nicknamed the "moat") and surrounded by extensive public green spaces and planting of wild grass. There is a bench by the moat and it’s quite pleasant to spend an hour reading a book listening to the water feature.

Bar

Further along the river from the Rose heading along from Vauxhall, a rickety old Dutch barge that was parked there by some hippies in the 80’s and turned into a unique bar 20 years ago.

The younger, brash brother of Tate Britain, the Tate Modern converted power station, 3 miles north on the Southbank is also a great place. Be sure to go up the viewing gallery on the 10th floor of the new Blavatnik Building Extension.
