Modern British · Whitechapel
Vicinity sits right on the waterfront at St Katharine Docks, with an outdoor fire pit and sweeping views that make it a genuinely lovely spot for a family meal — the kind of place where even a chilly evening feels special. The menu has something for everyone, including a kids' menu and vegan options, and highchairs are on hand for little ones; buggies can be navigated in without any fuss, though there's no baby-changing facility here. Service has been warmly praised by visitors, so you're likely to feel looked after from the moment you arrive.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
