London in 2 Days- Restaurants and area info needed- help?
We are staying at the Park Plaza for a few days this next month. Is the hotel OK? What are the best things to walk to around here? Restaurants? Any info would be much appreciated- thanks!

That's a pretty central location - you're close to Westminster, the SouthBank etc...loads to see within walking distance, especially on the south side of the river between Waterloo and London Bridge (about a 20 minute walk)...

The area's OK, a bit quiet perhaps. One of the neighbours is the Archbishop of Canterbury, so you'll have to make your own estimate of the chances of raucous late-night behaviour.
As to places to eat, it's not over-supplied if memory serves. There may be some small places in the streets behind, but I think you may be dependent on the hotel's own restaurant or eating out on the other side of the river.
You'll likely be using buses more than the tube.

"<i>You are close enough to walk to Borough Market on Thus or fridays, We like Vinopolis that is also nearby</i>"
Riverbank Park Plaza is quite a long ways from Borough Market or Vinopolis.
It is south of Lambeth Palace and almost to Vauxhall Bridge Rd. Directly across the river from Tate Britain.
I doubt you be eating much in the immediate area since all the sites are some distance away.
Not difficult, but not particularly easy/convenient tube connections. Mainly Vauxhall to Victoria, Green Park or Oxford Circus and change to other lines from those.

That hotel is pretty isolated restaurant-wise.
But there is a glimmer of hope:
Only a mere 5 minutes (if that) walk away there is the best, if not only, place in London to indulge into decent lagers brewed according to proper purity laws. A local pub by the name of Zeitgeist at the Jolly Gardener has a vast selection of German lagers, wheat beers and obscenities such as Koelsch on tap. It's on Black Prince Road - and who would not want to come to London and drink German beers?!
