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.

Remember when you were a kid? You had to ‘do’ something for a party. Go-karting, mini-golf, the cinema… or even bowling which had the added advantage of being weather proof!

And that’s what makes the All Star Lanes in Holborn such a great party venue… eat, drink, be merry, invite your classmates (sorry mates) and have a laugh as you try to get a strike but end up in the gutter (literally and metaphorically).

There are 4 lanes in the main hall and a bar tucked away where a DJ get’s going at the weekends. It’s all decked out in a cool retro style that adds a certain something to the bowling experience. Fancy some space for your party, as well as some bowling? Then book the private room with two lanes, a cocktail bar, karaoke and waiter service.

Remember, at weekends the lanes are reserved for diners in the restaurant, so if you want to bowl you’ve got to eat… and it’s one lane, one game.

Other venues are also available in Brick Lane and Bayswater
