Food: It sustains us and gives us life... literally.

For those who skip out on breakfast, we feel bad for you... Because it means missing an opportunity to have some of London's best pastries with a view over most of the city.

When it comes to Tokyo, and any city, for that matter, the higher up, the better the view. While most cities are overwhelming (in a good way) from street-level, there's something about being stories above everything else.
