Galvin at the Windows
This is another iconic high-rise hotel which has been sitting proudly at the southern end of Park Lane for many years. In its basement you’ll find Trader Vics, if you’re into the Hawaiian Tropic Cocktail Bar Vibe.
But if it’s views you’re after, head to the lift and the 28th floor where you’ll find Galvin at the Windows – a top class bar and restaurant. The name kind of gives it away – those ‘Windows’ are floor to ceiling ones and just made for gazing out of to admire the stunning views over Hyde Park, Green Park, Buckingham Palace and the whole damn city. That’s why Galvin at the Window is one of our best views London.
As you’d expect the décor is sophisticated and cool, with lots of leather and marble on show. There are lots of exquisite and exciting cocktails to try, a long whisky menu and delicious bar snacks if you’re not heading into the next door restaurant. It can get busy with young, loud braying types of an evening, so if you really want to admire the view, arrive early and grab a window seat.
