Best & Cool Bars in River Brent

"The ferns, fig trees and purple African lilies that clamber up the final three storeys of the 'Walkie Talkie' skyscraper are mere wallflowers at this 155m-high rooftop garden – it's the rather extraordinary 360-degree views of London (the best in the City) that make this vast, airport-terminal-like space so popular (advance booking recommended). Located on the 35th floor of 20 Fenchurch St, the Sky Garden has front-row seats for the Shard and vistas that gallop for miles east and west."

"At the Sky Garden you’ll get panoramic views of the city and you can also stop for food and drink. You have to book a ticket in advance to visit but it’s free. Head to skygarden.london for more info."

"Sketch in Mayfair boasts not only the most Instagrammable bathroom in town, but a stellar food menu – which you can now enjoy at home. Its new delivery service, sketch at home, offers either a four-course meal (with a vegetarian option) or a decadent Sunday roast, featuring a sharing côte de boeuf with all the trimmings. Each comes with instructions advising on how best to reheat and present the dish, plus paired wine."

"The Lecture Room & Library, also known as Sketch, was a new addition to to the list in 2020 and continues to keep its stars. It’s also one of the 16 Mayfair restaurants with Michelin stars in 2020. The Library offers a sophisticated French menu, with a seven-course meal priced at £120."

"Describe Sketch in one word and it would obviously be ‘pink’. The marshmallow coloured seats and walls will have you reaching for your phone, but the woodland mural in The Glade Bar and egg-shaped loos are pretty cool too. Bet you never thought you’d actually pee in a pod."

"Tucked behind the heart of Theatre Land on St Martin’s Court, the red facade of J Sheekey’s fish, shellfish and seasonal game restaurant is nothing short of iconic. Sheekey’s is as famous and as much a part of the West End as the actors and theatregoers who frequent it pre- or post-show and it’s been top of its game for over 100 years. Devour seafood platters or pop in for oysters and a glass of Champagne or head next door to the more casual, but just as loved, J.Sheekey Atlantic Bar."

"What: West End regulars will have undoubtably walked past the bright red façade of J Sheekey on many occasions before but if you haven’t ventured inside before, it’s a great spot for a pre-show meal. Diners come to J Sheekey for its inimitable fish cookery which courts all the classics with a light touch. Tuck into rich fish pie, potted shrimps or fruits de mer for a satisfyingly retro meal.Where: 28-32 St Martin's Court, WC2N 4AL"

"It’s a piece of prime gastronomic real estate, but M&Ms aside, there isn’t much to eat in Leicester Square itself. A claw-cracker’s throw from the neon, though, is some of London’s best seafood, courtesy of J."

"Start your Saturday morning sipping on a glass (or bottle) of the Delevingne sisters’ Della Vite prosecco paired with delicious and authentic Italian food at the iconic Sartoria restaurant, just off the corner of Saville Row, Mayfair. Indulge in the best dishes that Italy has to offer with the Della Vite Italian Brunch menu, whether you are celebrating with loved ones or simply looking for a lavish weekend treat. Tuck into the many innovative Italian twists on brunch classics with the exquisite crab omelette, garnished with Amalfi lemon and chilli, the comforting Italian Job, an Italian take on the classic full English breakfast or the mouth-watering ‘Milano’, risotto rice parcel topped with balsamic mushrooms and poached egg."

"Tucked away in a quiet corner on Savile Row sits Sartoria, Francesco Mazzei's Italian sanctuary, which offers modern twists on traditional flavours without any pretension. Cosy, warm and inviting, it’s the kind of restaurant that would suit any occasion, whether you’re celebrating a big birthday with a big group of people or simply fancy treating yourself to some really good pasta. When it comes to the menu, we suggest you resist the familiar and opt for dishes that you're less likely to find in other restaurants."

"20 Savile Row, W1S 3PR This smooth Savile Row spot, part of the D&D London stable, now has a lovely outdoor terrace, and inside all is looking spruce. In the kitchen, Francesco Mazzei, formerly of L'Anima, is wearing the chef's whites; delicious dishes are inspired by the rich and complex cooking of Mazzei's native Italian south."

"American' isn't a term usually associated with the traditional British roast, but steakhouse STK pairs the two beautifully. Traditional roast vegetables are served alongside American sides including mac & cheese and parmesan truffle fries. The meat is spice rubbed rib-eye, but the centrepiece is the Empire State Yorkshire puddings — each larger than a dinner plate."

"A post shared by Sara 🌺Lifestyle Blogger (@sara_sharingdreams) on Mar 13, 2017 at 2:18pm PDT. Sample food inspired by various cuisines at The Gate in Hammersmith. Drawing on their Indo-Iraqi and Jewish heritage with some French and Italian flair thrown in for good measure, brothers Adrian and Michael Daniel opened this veggie restaurant in 1989."

"The Gate is a Brick Lane restaurant with a drop-dead gorgeous outdoor terrace. Offering sleek furnishings, incredible views of the surrounding city and a menu of top-quality organic dishes, this is a real all-rounder."

"Milroy’s has been around since 1964 in Soho, but late last year its current owner, Martyn ‘Simo’ Simpson, expanded to a second site in Spitalfields. Stretching across three floors, there’s a 1,000-bottle-strong whisky bar, a cocktail bar, a tasting room and an exclusive private members club (the Dram House) – complete with a cigar terrace. Members’ rights aside, its comedy nights are open to all on the first Wednesday of every month, boasting talent from the likes of Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats, BBC’s The Mash Report and ITV’s Stand Up Sketch Shop."

"For eight years running, the 99 Comedy Club has won the award for ‘Best Comedy Club’ in the city for its stellar lineup of talent and the many LOLs that have reverberated around its walls. As the flagship 99 Comedy Club (the other is in Covent Garden), there’s always a buzz at this West London venue; almost every evening features funny humans, some of whom have residencies. Along with a coveted seat, which you can nab from £7, you can order various foodie packages like prosecco and a two-course dinner or pizza."

"There's top notch comedy at the 99 Club every day of the week. Even when they're big news, comedians continue to play here — of late the great James Acaster has been putting on something of a residency. Always good to sign up to their mailing list to get the last minute heads-up on their sooper-seekrit special guests too."

"Kae Kurd, Chris McCausland, Simon Brodkin, Sara Barron, Marlon Davis, Micky Overman, Darrien Harriott, Jo Caulfield and more. Tickets: 99clubcomedy.com"

"Restaurants Chinese Shaftesbury Avenue. This buzzy Chinese restaurant on the northern edge of Chinatown is a hotspot for hotpots. Choose your broth (they range from the healthy-sounding herbal tonic all the way through to the ‘hot and numbing pot’, heady with the smell of Sichuan pepper), your raw ingredients (pork, beef, lamb, squid, fish balls) and get cooking at the table."
