Rooftop review roundup: New to the rooftop scene in 2021 this rooftop bar and indeed the whole hotel is something quite special. This is 5 star service and luxury (also at 5 star prices!) The rooftop is divided into the Shima garden on the left, the indoor lounge in the middle and then the balcony – the latter has the views! Albeit through slats and only a few tables available. The garden is a Japanese outdoor oasis (with a retractable roof for winter/ summer) but there’s no view. There is however a DJ and it’s definitely warmer than the balcony. We were given free sparkling sake on arrival, I don’t know if that was standard or because it was winter and still fairly quiet for a Friday in London but was a great touch! Cocktails were equally thoughtful wish we had stayed for dinner. All in all such a lovely rooftop hideaway – the service and genuineness of the staff are definitely a highlight

Rooftop review roundup: Great shopping pit stop in the winter and it’s own destination in the summer. I’ve been going for a few years now, each time is slightly different. The entrance is the insta worthy feature – after taking the private lift up, you wander through a photographable festive tunnel. The bar indoors is very small – perfect post shop chill. The resturant is best in the summer – the roof comes off and the vibe is European AND there’s an outdoor terrace (no heaters in winter but sofas and sun in the summer) A Fabulous all rounder!

Rooftop review roundup: A cute little terrace tucked up high away from crowds below. A popular tourist spot yet still relatively quiet rooftop. Sushi is their specialty and in the sunshine feels like you could be abroad in a European city. There’s another even smaller long terrace just for drinks which at night is magical with the London eye lit up. It is on the pricey side and once sat down the views of Trafalgar Square aren’t as easy to see but definitely worthy of a visit.

Rooftop review roundup: Staff couldn’t have been more attentive and thoughtful – even calling the day before with weather update. Food was truly delicious (be warned the chunky chips may be addictive). Summer soft tunes played till 6 when the evening live music began. Really was a little taste of summer days and champagne ways. If you fancy something new, fabulous and a little naughty on the purse strings then this is for you. For more read my full rooftop write up here. Ps second visit there was now a minimum spend for bookings – you can though walk in for just drinks in the ‘lounge’ depending on availability.

I was expecting a small smoking area type rooftop and instead it’s super retro and kitsch! Inside the vibe is darts and casino but step out and it’s full of a gardeners dream and London icons – like they have an original telephone box that is actually a disco for one! Perfect for a hen/ baby shower or just for the gram!

Rooftop review: I went when it first opened and then was not yet busy for a Saturday – considering it is in the hub of London. Table service was available on a small strip terrace (though a little slow) and the main bar is inside. If you can get a table on the terrace then you are in for a treat as the views are spectacular. And the bonus is they currently open early (most rooftops donβt) so morning coffees meetings with a view is the dream!

Rooftop review roundup: Japanese and Nordic influence this cute lil rooftop terrace echoes an Anthropologie Copenhagen vibe. Simplicity and splendour. They call it the roof garden as it is by Finnish horticulturalist Taina (means βlittle treeβ) Suonio. The food is exquisite albeit a small menu, the service impeccable and whilst this isn’t a rooftop for views it is the perfect lunch spot after some serious Knightsbridge shopping! It even has its own shop on the floors below (note to shop before the cocktails π)

Rooftop review roundup: A hidden hideaway in such a tourist trap of Covent Garden. Debated whether it would count as a rooftop as there is a roof and windows but the latter gets pulled right back (donβt attempt this yourself or youβll get your thumb trapped like me!) or stays is lashing with rain – the consensus was yes it passed as one! Perfect for a pre theatre drink or just to escape the craziness of this super popular part of town. (Tho once youβve taken in the plaza of Covent Garden, Iβd also stop by their Paul Hamlyn Hall Champagne Bar for a decadent glass of something bubbly surrounded by history).

In the summer I can see this being ridiculously popular as you step outside you can walk around the bar in the middle – providing 360 views of the city! From BT tower, to the shard to the famous shopping street below! Currently it’s only open to the public in the day so do call ahead to check it will be open when you are planning to go.

Just opened in spring 2022 this is your date night dream. A vibrant vibe, beautifully dressed and an opulent sexy feel – this is a special venue. However the down side is if your date is GF – do not bring them here. The menu is so limited I struggled. If you’d rather the instragramable cocktails and puddings then you’ll love it
