Terminal 5, Wellington Road, Heathrow Airport HOUNSLOW TW6 2GA

As Gordon's first venture into airport catering, Plane Food was quite a risk for Ramsay. But the thoughtful menu, easy-going vibe and occasional celebrity diner proves that Heathrow's Terminal 5 had at least one successful story when it opened.

Thames Wharf, Rainville Road, London W6 9HA

Built as a canteen for Ruth Rogers' husband's architecture firm, this riverside restaurant is one of London's truly iconic dining spots - launching countless careers (Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall) from its kitchens and serving up wonderful (if spendy) Italian food.

The Gun is an ever-popular Docklands pub right by the river, now run by Fullers. It's based in a 19th Century building (it takes its name from the cannon that was fired at the opening of the West India Docks). There's a seasonal British menu on offer and ideally, you'll want to grab a table on their riverside terrace.

With London high-end Indian restaurants being so good, it’s worthy of note that the Quilon has been one of the longest-serving in the city and it has a Michelin star to boot. Expect southwest coastal Indian cuisine with a high-end feel.

Amaya offers gourmet Indian food, tapas style, with a full view of the kitchen from the dining room. The best place here is definitely to be as close to the open kitchen as you can. So if you're after a Michelin-level meal, but prefer small plate style rather than a formal tasting menu, then this is for you.

Umu is billed as the "only Kyoto style restaurant in the UK", and comes with a Michelin star. To truly appreciate it, opt for the kaiseki menu and let the chef guide your experience here.
