Sightseeing
It's probably the bridge with the best views of London. You can see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on one side, and St. Paul's on the other. You also see the full curve of the river at this point.

Food Scene
It does good, affordable Thai food at night. You can get fry-ups for breakfast too, but I haven't tried those yet! This whole street is very lively - for example, Cubana is just next door for mojitos and Cuban street food

Obviously, this is a long trek from where I live, but it is worth the trip. This is nothing like a manicured park, it feels wild, like you are truly in the country. Hampstead is also a nice part of the city, if a wee bit on the twee side.
