I used to work at a mortgage company whose offices were right behind the roof gardens and our annual company party was held here. You have to see it to believe it - they have flamingoes and everything.

I can’t comment on the food as I believe ours was always done by outside caterers but the facilities in general were fantastic.

Sunday lunch at the roof gardens is a real treat and we save this place for special occassions.
The service and the food and been amazing on every visit but what I love the most is taking roof garden virgins as you enter a lift from the street and then go up to the most amazing gardens on the top floor looking across London, with full size trees, ponds, ducks and two pink flamingos. It makes a great day out and I forgot to mention they have a magician goung around the tables on Sundays so great for the kids too.

Great place to come and have a boogie - not as pretentious as you would imagine. Great cheesy music if that is your bag….and the best part about it is the amazing roof gardens - it really is fantastic and I can’t wait to go back when the sun is shining - please let us have a summer!!

This place has fantastic views over Kensington high street. The decor is lovely too. The food is good too. It is a good place to go in the summer as you can enjoy the views and the beautiful garden with good food or cocktails. Even if you are not eating you can go see the gardens if there are no functions going on there. Give them a call to see if you can visit the garden before you go or better still go have a meal there. You'll enjoy it a lot. This is one of the places everyone must see.

I got past the rude and deeply unpleasant doorman, thinking I'd find some joy on the 6th floor in the fabulous roof garden.

In fact I hated it, and I can say something for certain, I will never set foot in this place again. It just had a very bad spirit about it.

There was a small garden with fountains which I saw first, and then the barbacue. On the wall behind the barbacue, a stone relief panel showing some youthful naked cherubs, pulling a goat by its horns, riding on its back and another one beating it with a stick.
The relationship between goat and the flames of a barbacue were clear enough.

As I was wandering round the rest of the garden, I came on another of these stone relief panels, artfully draped in ivy.

It was the same little troupe of naked boys, only this time they had a wooden stake , the point of which was extremely sharp and pointed, and they were pounding towards a ambushed and terrified deer , - awaiting the thrust of the wooden stake in its heart.
A savage dog with teeth bared was also depicted, clearly looking forward to his share of the flesh of the cornered and defenceless deer.
I hated this place, I hated its show of glee at slaughter. I would never visit it again.
In a stream with a small bridge over it, some weird birds sat despondent and still.

Very impressive place but perhaps a bit too pretentious. Expensive drinks and can get very busy but if you like mixing with "cool" people then it could be you.

Stylish restaurant with fabulous view; a bit pricey but food is good and service efficient (if a little snooty). You might want to take your time and have a cocktail before dinner to enjoy the terrace.
(and check out the bathroom: very contemporary décor)
