You can cross the river to places like the Blueprint Cafe, Chop House, Pont de la Tour and Tentazione, but why not go into town?

I live 3 minutes away, it's goodish (if not that cheap) but I only go there because it's local to be honest. I agree with the suggestions about going into town- you're only a few stops away from town on the district line for example.

Cafe Spice Namaste is nearby. Decor is a little tired but I've always enjoyed the food.
Walk over Tower Bridge to Constancia for one of the best steaks in town. Also Zucca, Pizarro, Village East and The Garrison on Bermondsey Street (10-15 min walk from Tower Hill).

There's a decent sized Thai Square on Minories between Tower Hill > Aldgate tube stations as your backup Asian option. Hawksmoor for a very good steak near Spitalfields; or Gaucho on other side of Tower Bridge next to Mayors buliding. Pont de la Tour for something more upmarket.

As well as the other good suggestions here, there's also Il Bordello in Wapping, about 10 minutes walk from Tower Hill.

One of my favourite places, and whilst not cheap in terms of McDonalds, it always shocks me to see the bill is half what I expect from other places.
