Harden's survey result
Summary
Towering over Paddington and the station, this new rooftop venue sits atop a new glass cube of a London landmark, open after our annual diners’ poll concluded in mid 2025; and was designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop. It’s a biggie, spanning the 17th and 18th floors that makes it West London’s highest rooftop restaurant, with over 400 covers. On Level 17, the restaurant seats 180, with 124 in the bar/lounge, with a further 120 covers on the floor above. The operator has siblings in Singapore, Dubai, Taipei and Tokyo and the cuisine is modern Asian.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
