The 12 Best Canalside & Riverside Restaurants In London - London - The Infatuation

"This riverside pub sits on a pretty, leafy corner of Barnes, overlooking the river, and it also happens to make the best Sunday roast we’ve ever had—and yes, we’re including our mum’s in that. The lamb shoulder is a feast-like centrepiece of tender, perfectly cooked meat, best eaten between alternating bites of crispy roast potatoes and braised, garlicky greens." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

Where To Eat When You're Visiting London - London - The Infatuation

"A classy pub that sits on the Thames in a leafy corner of Barnes, The Waterman’s Arms is worth a trip west for the finest Sunday roast we’ve had in London. Nothing feels more right than settling down here, ordering a few pints, and tearing away at tender lamb shoulder, a hunk of porchetta, or a whole spit-roast chicken with onion broth. Inside it’s all wood panelling and happy families bickering over the last roastie, before an inevitable order of chocolate mousse." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley

"There’s something that just feels right as soon as you enter this terrific Thames-side pub. Dating back to the 1850s, it’s got character to spare and a cosy atmosphere being heartily enjoyed by one and all – while the scent of fresh flowers on the tables combines with appetising aromas from the kitchen. Start with a snack, like the homemade Merguez sausage with labneh, before choosing one of the vibrantly flavoured main dishes, including a selection of steaks and fresh fish from the blackboard. The bright and attentive team are the icing on the cake." - Michelin Inspector
