    A Luxurious Valentine’s Evening at 8 at The Londoner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spent an unforgettable Valentine’s Day at 8 at The Londoner, and it truly exceeded all expectations! The combination of sleek ambiance, breathtaking views, and exquisite food made for an incredibly romantic experience. Atmosphere & Service From the moment we arrived, the stunning rooftop setting set the perfect mood for the evening. The dimly lit, modern décor, coupled with panoramic views of the London skyline, created an intimate and sophisticated vibe. Service was impeccable—attentive yet discreet, ensuring we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. Cocktails & Drinks The cocktail selection was phenomenal. I had an elegant espresso martini with a beautifully balanced foam, while my partner enjoyed a fragrant green tea-based cocktail served in a stunning ceramic cup. The wine list was impressive, featuring a well-curated selection that complemented the meal perfectly. The Food – A Culinary Delight We indulged in a variety of beautifully presented dishes, each one a masterpiece: •Crispy Wagyu Tacos – These were a highlight! Rich, melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef in a crisp shell, topped with finely chopped herbs and chili. Perfectly seasoned and bursting with umami. •Sashimi Platter – A delicate selection of the freshest tuna, salmon, and white fish, beautifully plated with edible flowers, a fresh lemon wedge, and wasabi. The fish was silky and flavorful—pure perfection! •Dessert – We ended the night with a decadent chocolate mousse dessert, elegantly plated with delicate chocolate shards and raspberry sauce. A perfectly indulgent finish to an already amazing meal. Final Thoughts 8 at The Londoner is a must-visit for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion in London. The flawless execution of dishes, exceptional drinks, and luxurious ambiance make it a standout experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner or a sophisticated night out, this rooftop gem delivers.

    Everything was perfect, the only issue was that we weren’t given a bag from the Xperience San Valentín. I had to go and ask if we were supposed to receive one because no one gave us anything, while others were leaving with their bags filled with items. Other than that, it was an unforgettable experience.

    On my bucket list of place to visit.. visited on a Monday night and did not know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend to anyone wanting something different. Drinks were served quick but slow taking our food order. We did get plenty of nibbles waiting, bread sticks n olives.
