The 30 Best High end bars in London

“The food is delicious, great staff and nice place to relax with a drink.”

“I recently visited ODEON Luxe Swiss Cottage, a cinema very close to my home, and I absolutely loved it. What impressed me the most was the comfort of the seats. Even though we chose the last row, the seats were incredibly comfortable—they reclined, were soft, and spacious. There was also a rotating table in front of us that we could adjust to our liking, creating the feeling of watching a movie at home on the couch. The screen was large and flat, and even though it was far away, it felt like watching a huge flat screen TV at home. I’ve been to other cinemas, like the one in Westfield, where the screens are even bigger, creating the illusion that everything is happening around you. But in ODEON Luxe, the seating comfort really stood out for me. Another thing I liked was the beautiful lighting near the entrance, which added to the overall atmosphere. Plus, the ticket price was very affordable—only £14, and my friend and I were able to get a discount, making it even better. There’s also a great option for a monthly subscription for just £20, which allows you to watch as many movies as you want at this cinema and in any other ODEON theater. It’s a perfect way to enjoy a break from the daily routine, whether you’re going alone, meeting a friend, or using it as a date idea. Highly recommend it!”

“Just came for lunch and was surprised at the good service and food presentation. We ordered the Peri Peri chicken and it was excellent. I would recommend this place for a drink and meal.”

“Very nice restaurant. Took parents for Mother’s Day dinner yesterday. They really enjoyed it. The food was really tasty and authentic. Also the staffs were really welcoming and attentive. I recommend everyone to visit this place.”

“What a charming little Italian restaurant. Very friendly, attentive and all of us completely cleaned our plates! All of us agreed we would return. The Tiramisu is out of this world too...”

“My first time dining in and what a wonderful experience. The team worked seamlessly together and clearly had a great rapport for each other. The food arrived quickly, hot, and full of flavor. Dessert was equally decadent and rich. Hostess and her staff were very welcoming and hospitable. Very nice restaurant I’ll gladly dine in again at.”

“Definitely recommend the Sunday brunch. Food is an amazing . Perfect for families.”

“Had a wonderful brunch at Quaglino’s! Live subtle r&b music sung with a cold French Chablis in hand was the theme of the day. Had a very seafood heavy meal selection with everything being fantastic. Highlight was the Monk Fish Ceviche.”

“I had an amazing afternoon at The Store. The service was outstanding. The manager was welcoming and kind. I came to do some work during their Friday hotdesk session. She let me know where the sockets were for my laptop, welcomed me to make myself comfortable, and kept checking if I was okay. I ended up eating from the hotdesk menu, where you can get unlimited coffee. I had two meals, both were really nice and well presented. I called my brother to join me because it was so nice and he came and we had cocktails to end a successful work session. They were delicious also. It was fairly quiet in there. When I first arrived there was a lovely mum and baby club at the back in a separate space, so there was plenty of space to sit and feel comfortable. I usually use headphones when I’m out but the vibe was good and the music was comforting so I didn’t use my headphones. The restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere and stunning decor. I felt really focused. The lights that hang over the tables could do with a wipe though, as there was some dirt that looked like it might fall into the table. One of those things that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Overall it was a brilliant spot and I will be visiting much more regularly now. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely evening at the Swan in the shuffleboard room. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming”

“Some of the best customer service I’ve ever had. Very knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly staff. Great choice of wines. Come for a bottle to take home, stay for a glass or two.”

“I have read some poor reviews of this hotel and to be honest I can’t imagine why. Our room was huge, spotless clean. We had a very big kitchen with everything we needed and a nespresso machine. Yes, they asked us at check in if we want to be charged for housekeepers tip, we said we would leave cash and they did not charge us. The 100£ deposit came back into my account within 24h of checkout. Also the reception staff were very nice and helpful, our bathroom was leaking a little bit above the toilet and they had another room ready for us, but we loved our room and the leak was not an issue so we didn’t move. Yes, this is not located in central London, but in my opinion its perfectly located, Hackney is an amazing neighborhood and the Brodway Market is withing 15 minutes walking.”

“It's a nice hostel by LHA (not self catered). The rent paid has 2 complementary meals a day. And it's a very quiet, peaceful and serene environment. The ambiance is the best I've seen having visited 3 other hostels (Halpin House, Belvedere House and Railton House) owned by LHA”

“This lounge is much nicer than a typical US united lounge. The lounge is spacious, has great view for plane spotting. Food offering is decent, one of the nicest options is the shower. This lounge is between a typical United lounge and a polaris lounge.”

“The food was outstanding! Highly recommend the pizza, they are stone baked and covered in fresh produce. Staff were friendly and the beer was cold. Only negative is the parking, there isn't any. But that's the whole town to be honest.”

“5 stars all around. Friendly people, good food and overall a good place to eat. I'd recommend to anyone who can try it”

“Best decent place, if you want to eat batter Indian food than you have to definitely visit this place where you can enjoy with drink.”

“Met with my lovely friend, after a while since our last catch up. Decided on trying this fabulous place, and it was lovely. Food was amazing, ambience perfect and service was great. Its not the cheapest but has to be the best. Will definitely be back”

“Superlative Ambience atmosphere qnd Genuine Aromatic Thai Food. Everything is 100% tasty and Halal. Service is excellent and Noodles are just right. Prawn need careful cooking not to get chewy and chef was careful. And succulent beef was wow. Amazing. Full Marks.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sheesh in Chigwell, and I have to say, it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was absolutely stunning. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a luxurious yet welcoming vibe that instantly sets the tone for a special night out. The food was nothing short of incredible. We ordered a variety of Turkish dishes, each one bursting with authentic flavors and perfectly cooked. The meats were tender and juicy, the mezes were fresh and flavorful, and every dish looked just as good as it tasted. It’s clear that Sheesh takes great pride in the quality and presentation of their food. What really made the evening stand out, though, were the extra touches. There was live music playing throughout the night, creating a lively and sophisticated atmosphere without being too overpowering. To top it off, we were entertained by incredibly talented magicians who performed close-up tricks at our table. It added such a fun and unique twist to the dining experience—it felt like more than just dinner, it was an event. The service was also exceptional. Staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel well taken care of from start to finish. I highly recommend Sheesh to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience.”

“First time visit. Was really good. Food was delicious (especially the warm chocolate fondant), cocktails were very reasonably priced and tasted nice. Service was truly amazing, although I am not sure of our servers name, he looked like Adam Brody, so if you also get him, you’ll be looked after! I’m putting atmosphere at a 3, just because where I was sat was right under an ac vent and I was cold - given I’m not sure if it classes as atmosphere, I’m still putting it in. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. HOWEVER, if you’re allergic to garlic I would NOT bother - yet you can’t go wrong with steak and frites!!”

“Had a lovely late lunch / early dinner. We had the 2 course selection and I must say it was delicious. I had mussels to start, followed by Seabass, and my partner had steak followed by the chocolate brownie. We had a fantastic bottle of Chardonnay to accompany our meal. We also had complimentary fizz, which was a lovely way to end our meal. Toilets are downstairs. Staff are fantastic, polite, and friendly. Recommend.”

“Super yummy breakfast here! We had Plate 2 and Plate 3. Poached eggs, bubble and squeak total winners. Proper strong tea. Lovely space to sit. Great service. Fab location”

“Beat pub in West Hampstead. Dog friendly. Great food. Plenty of tables but you might wanna book. Sofas at the back. Outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and smiley. Amazing Sunday Roast too.”

“Cute little pub 5 minute walk from Brixton underground. Open quite late and good pricing. They have student discount as well and an outside seating area!”

“Nice pub but very quiet. Fast service”

“Quick night away for our anniversary. The staff was very helpful and extremely gracious. The room was surprising large and very well appointed. The whole place was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We even got a wonderful massage that had us feeling terrific. Already looking for an excuse to go back, highly recommend!”

“I flew to London from New York in January for my birthday and went to the Chiltern as recommended by friends and I had the most amazing time! The vibe is off the chain! The staff was fantastic and the music was great! I danced the most I have in a long time. I will definitely be going back again on my next trip to London.”

“a busy spoons but a good one...hopefully next visit they will do the boxed ciders like old Rosie or black dragon...food was good and served quickly...not a spoons where there is parking.....”

“Nice little bar, proper pub, halfway to the Elephant. Looks like it housed some old school gangsters back in the day..but now a normal London boozer. Oh and slightly cheaper than those up the road closer to the Thames”
