The combination of sleek ambiance, breathtaking views, and exquisite food made for an incredibly romantic experience.

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.

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.

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.

A very worthy younger sibling to Club Gascon and perfect for a more casual (and cheaper!) work get together. The menu is still very sud-ouest and there's still plenty of duck and some great wines.
