A Riverside Thai Lunch in Putney

Putney is one of the most pleasant stretches of the Thames in London, all rowing crews and riverside walks. It is the kind of place that calls for a long, relaxed lunch, and Thai food fits the mood perfectly.

Lunch with a view

Thai Square Putney Bridge sits right by the river, which makes it a natural stop after a walk along the towpath. Bright, fresh dishes suit the setting, so think papaya salad, grilled satay and a light curry rather than anything too heavy.

What to order for a leisurely lunch?

Keep it relaxed and shareable. A few starters to graze on, then a green curry or a plate of pad thai to follow, with plenty of jasmine rice. Lunch by the water is not the moment to rush.

Make a day of it

Pair lunch with a riverside stroll towards Putney Bridge or beyond. Have a look at the menu first and book a table, especially on a sunny weekend when the riverside fills up fast.
