Rooftop

Updated 14/8/23 with soft launch info

A new Peruvian restaurant is coming to London via a somewhat unexpected route - New York. 

Llama Inn opened in New York back in 2015 and has been a hit ever since. Just this year it made it onto the New York Times' Top 100 Restaurants list and its chef Erik Ramirez was a finalist on the James Beard "Outstanding Chef" list this year too. So

Boasting great views over central London, the arrival of Richard Corrigan to run this rooftop restaurant at the National Portrait Gallery proves to be a real draw.

We're always on the lookout for a hot new rooftop bar and the one opening up at The Berkeley sounds on point. There's long been a lovely swimming pool and lounging space up at the top of the Knightsbridge hotel, but that's always been reserved for guests only - until now.

From next month The Berkeley Rooftop Bar will be open to all in the evenings, and it has amazing views over central London. There's a lift to whisk

If you love a rooftop brunch then new City restaurant Florattica is the place to go

You know it's definitely summer when The Dorchester reopens its rooftop bar. This year the space will bring the English country garden vibes and serve up an all-day brunch menu by the hotel's culinary director Martyn Nail (ex-Claridge's).

Brunch, Dorchester-style, means dishes like caviar, oysters and fruit de mer, grilled Cornish lobster fregola, côte de boeuf and truffle

Got friends and family in town for the festive season and can’t think of where to take them? Or just finding it difficult to get a table at your favourite rooftop bar at this time of year? Then Christmas has come early with the announcement that Florattica is opening in East London. It’s a rooftop bar with views across to St Paul’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf and the Thames, no less. No need to let the

The Tottenham Court Road end of Oxford Street's days as the shabbier part of the shopping thoroughfare appears to be drawing to a close. Hard on the heels of the Elizabeth Line opening, the attendant developments at that end of the street are starting to unveil their plans, and many of them contain restaurants.

Tattu was the first to open back in April and we've also

With rooftop bars suddenly becoming destination de rigueur for Londoners eager to make the most of spring weather (or perhaps everyone just read our recent feature), comes news of another that has just launched in Shoreditch.

You can now head up to the top of the

Rooftop restaurant Seabird has unveiled a new seafood-led brunch. We take a seat on their balcony, gaze across London and tuck in. 

London really seems to love rooftop bars at the moment. Recently we've had Wagtail open in the City and another in Covent Garden on the roof of the Amano

German boutique hotel group Amano has just had a very under-the-radar launch of its first UK hotel. The new opening is in the heart of Covent Garden with a restaurant, bar and - the important bit - a Skybar with great views over London.

Mikey Lucombe (formerly at The Mandrake) is running the bar side of things at the hotel which includes a basement bar that aims to bring Berlin vibes to London. Up on the seventh floor

The City is getting a new rooftop bar and restaurant from the team behind Aviary at Finsbury Square. Wagtail will take over the rooftop space of the old House of Fraser building on King William Street. It's by Maven Leisure which itself is owned by the team behind ETM Group who operate, among others, Aviary, The Botanist on Sloane Square and the Chiswell Street Dining Rooms in Moorgate. And they've brought in some

Having made a name for themselves in the West End serving up cocktails and bao, the team behind The Lucky Club Mayfair are heading north. They've taken on a roof terrace space across the Chalk Farm entrance to Camden Market, on the former FEST site. 

The Lucky Club Camden will specialise in Margaritas and Mezcal cocktails with treats like the Frozen

Springtime in London isn't just a time for blossom and new fashion. Over at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge there's a whole range of exciting new experiences to enjoy. We went along to take a look.

Back when it was The Curtain the rooftop bar at the Shoreditch hotel was strictly a members-only space. So we're delighted at the much more egalitarian approach by its successor, The Mondrian. They're opening the rooftop space out to everyone, launching it as Laurel's On The Roof this summer.

The name reflcts the restaurant's LA-inspiration, being named after Laurel Canyon, and it's going to be an all day-dining and
