- Martin TiedemannMay 23, 201225 October: Situated 92 feet above ground level on the top floor of the Portrait Gallery, it is a unique spot & offers stunning views over the National Gallery towards Nelson's Column & Big Ben.
- Darcy AllenJuly 17, 2013Beautiful view and the afternoon tea was delicious. They even had real loose leaf tea! Price is reasonable considering the quality
volodymyr otryshkoSeptember 8, 2016The restaurant is in the basement. It has a sitting area with transparent roof but the views are not that nice as in the other pictures.
Jeffrey JamesOctober 23, 2014If you're planning to go somewhere quiet, this isn't the place. Beautiful view & the food was good, but pricey. Staff are friendly. Good place to take elderly family.
Nigel HewsonApril 2, 2010Bar has a brilliant range of gins for a quality G&T such as Bloom with elderflower liqueur or Saffron served with cinnamon syrup and Xante pear liqueur!
snarkleJuly 8, 2011Brilliant views over the rooftops of London towards Big Ben & the Houses of Parliament.- Nicolas CAugust 18, 2013Tried to buy cakes with my pot of tea. They don't sell them individually. Only as part of the £20 tea formula...
- Nicolas CAugust 18, 2013Lovely views but the place is very noisy. The service is also not what it could be: having two waitresses coming in turn asking the same question can be bit wearisome.
