Our mission is remarkably simple. To tell it how it is!
A new destination rooftop bar is to open in the Hilton at Tower Hill, 12 storeys above the City. Savage Garden will bring a “brutally botanical vibe, opulent interiors, and an expansive al fresco terrace”, with experimental cocktails and food offerings.

Clapham gastroboozer The Avalon may be “huge and hectic” but it’s “great for families or large groups”. And it just got a little bit better as a drink and dining hangout this summer with the launch of its newly renovated beer garden. The Avalon is the largest of the seven pubs owned by Three Cheers Pub Co. […]
It seems that this summer outside is the place to be. Perhaps restaurants are taking a leaf out of the Ivy Chelsea Garden’s book (which opened in March to many oohs and aahs from not just the Sloane set but Marina O’Laughlin and Grace Dent too) as venue after venue launches its own verdant outdoor […]
