Recommendations for a day out in town

Having a treat day out with a girlfriend tomorrow - was originally going to be the usual: pampering, afternoon tea etc, but as it's such glorious weather keen to make the most of outside.

Needs to be central, as friend's an out of towner, and budget not really a consideration. Fun, silliness and fizz all most welcome - any ideas?

If you end up near London Bridge, the rooftop garden bar at Coq d'Argent is nice.

Over Kings Rd, Bluebird cafe' for great food and service, then shopping and nice views.

King's Rd is where I take all my tourists. It means I get to enjoy myself too.

Southbank good for a wander. Start at Westminster Bridge and mooch up to London Bridge - lots to see on the way and as cheap or expensive as you want to make it.

Wander around the Isle of Dogs. Get there via either 12 to Westminster then Ferry or DLR from Lewisham.

Go south of the island to the Mudchute City Farm for a cuppa and a wander around and see the llamas. It's the biggest city farm in England so I understand.

Canary Wharf has great buildings, views, walks and history. You could also pop into one of the pubs along West India Quay, and go to the Docklands Museum there, or walk along the river towards the city and pop in to the Grapes, or even Prospect of Whitby.

But a long walk from World's End (go down as far as Chelsea Harbour and then walk back via Lots Road and wander around Cremorne Gardens), then walk up Kings Road to Peter Jones. Perfect.
