Sticky Mango Tower Bridge

Walk down Shad Thames towards Tower Bridge and you'll find yourself in that sweet spot where the river breeze hits different. Sticky Mango sits here unpretentiously, doing the kind of Southeast Asian food that doesn't need to shout about itself. You're getting proper curries, fiery stir-fries, and the sort of flavours that make you order another Tiger just to cool down. It's the place locals actually eat at rather than the postcard-version restaurants nearby—buzzy enough that you feel the energy, but still genuinely interested in getting you fed well.
