“Glamorous eating in the sky” - AA Inspector
LONDON W1, LONDON POSTAL DISTRICTS
Our Inspector's View
Of the many different versions of glamour, one of the headiest is eating in the sky, especially when it begins with a voluble greeting from TV celeb host, Fred Sirieix, star of Channel 4's First Dates. The views from up here are bracing, with London laid out like an architectural model during the day, and as a filigree of lights after dark. Joo Won produces a dazzling style of Asian-inflected modern European cuisine that scores many a hit. The menu du jour is a bit of a bargain at this level, and might begin with kimchi risotto topped with a slow-cooked egg, sprinkled with spring onions, sesame seeds and parmesan shavings. Then comes pan-fried fillet of sea bass with artichokes, rocket and salted anchovies, or perhaps fillet of Scotch beef with braised short rib, bone marrow and foie gras. Draw things to a satisfying close with pear soufflé, warm salted caramel fudge and cinnamon ice cream.

About The area
Discover London
The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it’s evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that’s not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.
London’s royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain’s finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen’s London home, Buckingham Palace. Don’t miss out on exploring the capital’s Royal Parks – from St James’ Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.
