I'm looking for a restaurant for tomorrow night (Wed 20th Sept) with an amazing view at night, preferably in central london, although not necessarily. (Also, if this sparks any other ideas for great dates, they would be more than welcome.) Thanks.

The restaurant on the top floor of the National Portrait Gallery (just off Trafalgar Square) has a fantastic view - of Nelson's bum, then up Whitehall to Parliament. http://www.npg.org.uk/live/portrest.asp
(Don't get it confused with the National Gallery around the corner, whose restaurant is fine, but doesn't have those views.)
There's also a lovely bar/restaurant on the top floor of Waterstone's Bookshop in Piccadilly - very hip. http://www.5thview.co.uk/
Babylon (on the roof of what was once Derry & Toms, High St Ken), is very well known, but I've never been there: http://www.toptable.co.uk/details.cfm?rid=1157
Otherwise, yes, the Tate Modern has a fab view, if you can get a table.

Seven
If you are going to be in Leicester Square or if you are going to the theater in the West End, a good place to be is several stories above the square teeming with tourists and performance artists. Seven is set atop a most unlikely looking building with an equally unlikely set of stairs leading to it, but you will be rewarded with what only the birds see when they look down on the square -- leafy green trees and an expanse of green lawn often covered with people hanging out.
The more distant views offer some of London's best-known landmarks from a different perspective: the brand-new London Eye, the giant Ferris wheel that is the hottest attraction in the city, next to Westminster Bridge; the Houses of Parliament; Westminster Abbey; St. Martin's in the Field and St. Paul's.
The food is straightforward with many touches of old England. Seven is an oasis for lunch or dinner, before or after the theater. And it is right on the edge of Regent Street shopping.
Enjoy your dinner!

What about the London Metropole on the Edgware Road. Restaurant is on the top floor (24 floors I think). Alternatively, you could go to The Dickens Inn at St Katherine's Dock - not a high up view, but a lovely view none the less.

The OXO Tower. Although I don't know if you'd get a reservation at this late stage.
Also it is possible to book capsules in the London Eye on some occasions. However, this is extremely expensive. Check the BA London Eye website for details.

London is a good place to spend the holyday in family, specially with kids since in London are lots of kid-friendly areas to go to and that Hotelbye is the area to start knowing. In London you can get up close and particular with marine animals at SEALIFE London Aquarium or discover the Science Museum, London's active link of science and engineering and equally are perfect for fun family holyday here in London. London also presents for visiting the Tate Contemporary, Britain's national museum of modern and modern art. And, maybe not forget the SEALIFE London Aquarium; your home of 500 species of aquatic living, from sharks and piranhas to Nemo-style clownfish. London is let me make it clear a unique city.

Tate Modern restaurant has excellent food and wonderful views - get the river side, although the views over south London are striking too.

The harbour-side city of Auckland is New Zealand's true city and the vivid economic center of the country, know it with hotelbye . Auckland can also be referred to as the "City of Sails" and it sprawls out in helter-skelter style between Manukau Harbour (to the west) and Waitemata Harbour (to the east) with the compact main town area proper next to the waterway. For most guests to New Zealand, Auckland is the point of birth, and several days soaking up the national and outside attractions here should really be on every tourist's to-do list. The monuments, museums, and artwork galleries listed here are a few of the best in the country. The suburban coastline of the town is speckled with fine beaches, and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf give a taste of New Zealand's spectacular national park scenery close to the city's doorstep. Auckland is definitely a town worth seeing.

Try Windows Bar on the 28th Floor of the Hilton.
Overlooks Hyde Park
Great views but a little pricey and exclusive.
