Top Best American Restaurants in The Grove

"Hotel phone: +44 20 3747 1000 With stellar views of the Thames, Sea Containers Hotel sits just a few minutes’ walk from the London Eye, Borough Market, and Globe Theatre. Nautical touches, including the copper-clad ‘ship’s hull’ that encompasses the reception, are meant to convey 1920 cruise ship glamour and to pay homage to the Sea Containers shipping company – the original occupants of the building. Understated, luxurious rooms are decked out with custom-designed furniture, bathrooms with rain showers, and movie-star-dressing-room lights alongside the mirrors."

"A post shared by Sea Containers Restaurant (@seacontainersrestaurant). A life involving small plates of seafood and Laurent-Perrier's Cuvée Rosé by the glass (or bottle) is just the kind of life we deserve, which is why we enjoy being at the Sea Containers London x Laurent-Perrier Summer Terrace. And who's to say that the indigenous flora we're surrounded by when we're there doesn't ground us?"

"Mr Lyan is back at it again with his hospitality magic and this time it’s in the form of Sea Container’s Lyaness bar. With views overlooking the Thames and unbeatable cocktails, Lyaness encapsulates the very best of London under one umbrella. Any Insta snap here will without a doubt see the likes rolling in."

"Why: Nightly live music, a menu full to the brim with American classics and a bumper crop of bourbon come together to make The Blues Kitchen a lively New Orleans-style night out, whichever location you visit. Close your calorie-tracking app and dig into hearty southern mains such as stacked burgers, seafood jambalaya and smoky barbecue ribs, and decadent desserts like Oreo doughnuts and thick milkshakes.Where:Camden, Shoreditch + Brixton"

"What: Even if you’re not a fan of Texan BBQ we’d go so far to say that a trip to Blues Kitchen is probably worth it if for no other reason than to try these devilish deep-fried doughballs. The dessert menu is concise and it’s no wonder – what else would you possibly choose when Oreo cookie donuts with a salted caramel dip are on offer?. Find them at:Brixton, Camden, Shoreditch"

"Restaurants American King’s Road. Still whoopin’ and hollerin’ after all the years, this Chelsea BBQ/crabshack pulls the crowds with its good-timing New Orleans vibe, high-decibel bluesy sounds, crazy low prices and gut-busting helpings of messy US soul food. Voodoo chicken wings, pit-cooked ribs, stacked burgers and bargain-priced lobsters are the headline acts, with support from a raunchy line-up of X-rated shakes and slushy cocktails."

": A lively BBQ joint inspired by the crab shacks that line the American Gulf Coast, the first Big Easy opened up on the King’s Road over 20 years ago. With live music on most nights and a variety of different unlimited nights on different days of the week, there is more than enough to bring you in and keep you there all night long!. “This place has hands down the most delicious shrimps in town” says Chris James of Delaney BBQ."

"If you’re looking for a homecooked barbeque with fresh east coast lobster and steak, look no further than the Big Easy. Their restaurants in Covent Garden and Canary Wharf cook authentic American home-smoked barbeque the classic way with wood and time. You can also find a branch on King's Road close to our Kensington hotel."

"Starting with a classic 1950’s American diner, complete with oversized portions, Waffle Jack’s can be found on Merton Park Parade in Wimbledon. Visitors can expect to choose from a complete range of American classics; anything from burgers, Philly cheese steaks and bagels to their renowned breakfast pancakes and waffles. As the name suggests, the restaurant prides itself on its freshly baked waffles served your way with a choice of topping including bacon or maple syrup."

"Waffles are coming at you in every possible incarnation, so that you can enjoy them gluten free, egg-less, sugar free and red velvet."

"Recently refurbished by its new owners, the Columbo Group, with a fresh look and a lot more than a lick of paint, the Jazz Cafe is everything a jazz bar should be – intimate, unperturbed and in love with music. What’s more, there’s a decent-sized dance floor, meaning it’s not the usual table-dwelling and head-bobbing that you’d expect at your average jazz night.

"16 Half Moon Ln, Dulwich, London SE24 9HU Why should you care?. Three childhood friends from South London are behind this new all-day spot serving up plant-based food and inspired by their Italian and British backgrounds."

"I’ll level with you: the extent of Covent Garden’s ‘market’ status is kind of questionable, despite it being one of the most famous markets in London. There are more shops selling designer bags here than there are market traders but that doesn’t stop it from being a historic market spot in the centre of London. Don’t think it’s all about the big names here either – there are independents and quirky finds if you poke around, particularly at the weekends when independent makers set up around the Apple Market."

"Within the 19th century Piazza of Covent Garden, there are three markets to explore. Take a look around the Apple Market, East Colonnade Market and Jubilee Market for handcrafted gifts, artworks, confectionary and clothes, among other diverse goods. Covent Garden: Monday to Friday 10am-8pm, Saturday 9am-8pm, and Sunday Midday-6pm."

"The world-famous Covent Garden Apple market which was originally focused on fruit and vegetables still runs today. From Tuesday through to Sunday the market is filled with hand-made art and design goods, bespoke jewellery, paintings and more. On Mondays, the market hosts antiques and collectibles."

"At just over 1000 metres long, Walthamstow Market is the longest in Europe and, because it’s not really part of the London tourist track, it’s one of the best London markets for real budget bargains. It’s open every day (except for Sundays and Mondays) from dawn until dusk, and is used by locals on a daily basis to buy food, clothes, gifts, electrical equipment, music, body care products and household goods. Whatever you need, Walthamstow Market has it, and if you can’t see what you want, someone will get it for you by the following week."

"Somewhat bemusingly, it claims to be the oldest French restaurant in London despite only being founded in the 1940s. Still, the menu is brimming with classic French dishes, so we’ll forgive this apparent fib."
