Wouldn’t have expected such a great find in such a touristy central area.
+ Stylish and incredible views right in the centre of London.
+ Not packed despite it being a Saturday night which was really unique.
+ Food was tasty and special without being super expensive.
+ Great wine and awesome cocktails! Anywhere with great named ones is always a winner.
+ Not a pretentious environment.
- The one in Clerkenwell feels so quirky, off the beaten track, really special and a real find. This one feels a little watered down and so central. Risks becoming a tourist place.
Overall really really liked it, staff were super friendly and helpful and could have stared at the views for hours.

Nice and lively restaurant to take a break with views.
The menu is not wide and is based on brunch options. The portions are not so big but the flavours and friendly staff made a perfect experience.
The entrance is not oblivious but once you are in the hall, you just have to follow the link signals. Take the elevator to the top floor and enjoy the views

beautiful spot to have a break from the bustle of the city.
we stayed at assembly hotel, so visiting B&H garden room was the easiest decision for breakfast!
our waiter was very happy to accommodate for a vegan diner. i ordered crushed avocado and toast tomatoes on toasted sourdough, with a glass of fresh orange juice - both were delicious.
the interior is an effortless sicilian vibe, mixing raw materials and beautiful furniture with plenty of greenery. it’s bright and airy with lovely views from through their floor to ceiling windows. a perfect laid back atmosphere to be for breakfast or brunch, i can only imagine it’s even more amazing at night when the city is shining.

Amazing view of the City of London. We had brunch here on a Sunday and the food was superb. I recommend the Poached Eggs with Smoked Salmon on an English Muffin, Steak and Egg Salad, and Warm Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream.

I arranged a birthday party here at relatively short notice here. They reserved a beautiful table in the corner of the big glass windows and both the guests and birthday boy were blown away with the place and view. Fantastic service as well, they even took care of lighting the candles on the birthday cake and getting it to the table on time. They also happily gave us extra time beyond our booking time as well. Everyone including myslef had a great night. Highly highly recommended for the stellar view and service. Will definitely be back.

Nice bar/ restaurant on the top of a building just few minutes away from Leicester Square. Beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere, as it is not overcrowded. They have food, cocktails and great non alcoholic options! Be aware that the dragon tea is not a cuppa but a kombucha. Great service. Perfect for an evening with friends, to treat visitors or a date!

Lovely venue with friendly staff. I have previously been here for drinks in the evening. This was first time here for food. There was a varied selection of mains ordered and I personally thought the duck confit, slow cooked lamb and the pan fried cod were the favourites. Our waitress was really helpful and gave us recommendations. Highly recommend, it's still a relatively new opening so you should go before everyone realises how good it is!

The amazing place with skyline view. Atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Brunch menu quite small and it was not a lot of things from what to choose, but food was delicious. Prices are reasonable. Definitely, I would come back the second time. :))

An amazing hidden pearl in the crown of London's rooftop bars. My absolute favourite from the menu was the Orangery cocktail - refreshing and bold taste, served with a 270 degrees view to the city's skyline. You can see all your favourite buildings and have a nice, relaxed lunch at an affordable price. The experience is 100% worth it! It was spacious and beautiful, it was all great!

Although the views aren't the best from a London roof terrace, the interior, staff and ambience is. Food and drinks are well priced and presented. Menu is creative but not overcomplicated with a short wait time for food. Would go again.

Nice little gem hidden away at the 10th floor of a hotel.
The view is nice but food selection very limited.
Good for a drink but that’s about it.

Great view and environment, but a bit pricey (as is usually the case with similar places in London). For special occasions, I think it's a pretty good choice. Booking is recommended but beware they might ask you for a refundable deposit to make a reservation.

Location is amazing and views are great as well. Doesn’t get any better smack in the middle of London.
Food wise the menu is pretty classic and simple, prices are contained which is good.
It’s a restaurant that wins by views and location and not by its food.

We’ve had our Xmas party in B&H Garden Room and what a great idea that was! It was a bit loud place as we were seated very close to the bar (the corner tables looked more private) but we had a loads of fun. Restaurant is great, has a lovely view and food was delicious. Staff was very helpful and nice too. We’ve been served by an amazing waiter (I’ve been told he was from Italy, unfortunately I didn’t get a name) and I wanted to say Thank you! Very helpful and great! Would definitely come back again.

Bourne and Hollingsworth has opened a floral paradise on the 10th Floor of the Assembly Hotel on Charing Cross Road. This gorgeous rooftop bar in London is surrounded by plants and flowery prints with stunning 180 degree views.
The small but floral cocktail menu is worth checking out. We had a Rosellini with Belsazar Rosé vermouth, fresh raspberry and pomegranate topped with bubbles (£9). The Allotment Spritz with Oxley gin, Aperol, St Germain elderflower, fresh lemon, Real Kombucha Dry Dragon (£10) was our favourite. It was light and refreshing and went perfectly with the brunch dishes on offer. We tucked into a Vegetarian breakfast (£10) with poached eggs, beans, halloumi, avocado, mushrooms and tomatoes.
There are a number of mocktails, hot drinks and fresh juices to choose from too if you don’t fancy an alcoholic tipple.
The venue is absolutely gorgeous and feels pretty special in the bustling London West End. The best bit is that it remains affordable for a drink taking in the lovely rooftop views in London.

It's too many tables for such a small place, and it's too much noise, but in the end it is a nice place to meet with your friends and have a good time. The staff is polite and ready to help.

One star just for the view everything else is pretty much rubbish.
My boyfriend, me and our friend went for brunch.
Meals came very late, our friend's order got mixed up and came even later. Her main course came after we finished ours. Portions were small and overpriced, taste was just okay, nothing special.
We also got charged for a side dish we ordered but never arrived. Had to ask for spoon for granola yogurt. Got a coffee but they took away the sugar container.
One of the waitress was quite rude to my friend (she tried to blame her for getting her order mixed up by telling her that she had another full table to serve?)
In the end the manager gave us 50% off the total bill (but no apologies whatsoever about staff behaviour) so I believe these kinda complaints happen on a regular basis. Definitely won't return.

We booked a table for a birthday brunch at 3pm. Table wasn’t ready till 3.15pm. No apologies whatever... they crammed us in a table next to a table who was sitting side by side which they shouldn’t be! It was meant to be seated facing each other. However, the issue was that they had empty tables further down the restaurant. I requested a change of table to the hostess(slim lady). She clearly lied to me saying the tables required setting up. I went down to check the tables, they were already set up. As the waiter bought the food out, I demanded to change table immediately. He obliged to me in a very rude manner! Food was very good though.. however the service was very poor.. we do miss the exceptional service from Annie the deputy manager. Shame it was her day off.. Just really disappointed as it was a birthday brunch!!

I don't understand all the rave reviews. Yes the view is pleasant and the food is 'good' (not great) for the price. Problem is the place needs a deep clean, the tables, chairs and floors are grimy, not from a one off busy day but from long term lack of cleaning. The staff are polite, but overall it has the feel of a cool cafe rather than a restaurant. Give it a good clean and change out the grubby furniture and it has potential. The free water was gross, not sure if it was straight from the tap and unfiltered, or filtered and the filter needs changing, but it was undrinkable.

When I visited this place over Christmas, it had been so long since I had last been to a Cocktail bar that I really didn't know what to expect. The views across the city were amazing, the staff were extremely friendly and the cocktails (especially the chocolate based one) were delicious. Would definitely come back again.

A lovely bar with beautiful views, the hostess was very cold and uninterested in anyone - quite unpleasant really.
The waiters very friendly, but inattentive. I had to get up twice to get someone’s attention to order drinks. Espresso martini was fine and the second cocktail was nice enough.
Would come back for the views and the ambience, but upgrade your staff or train them in hospitality.

Drinks were excellent and you are surrounded by lovely views in a relaxed atmosphere. Value for money is pretty good as well. However the service whilst friendly was unprofessional. Mains served without any cutlery. Person responsible for cloakroom and bag collection taking the opportunity to have her own date and evening drinks. Eventually coaxed into getting our coats but forgot our bags. Interrupted her date again to go get our bags. Staff not rude and apologetic when mistakes were made. Having a drink and date when you should be working is funny but also grossly unprofessional for an establishment of that quality.

We visited on a quiet evening, only a few tables were full but the service was beyond bad.
There was no one at the door to greet us. When a staff member turned up, she knew who we were because there were no other bookings.
Cocktails from their herb basket were disappointing to say the least. Purple basil was actually oregano and the cocktail missed any trace of alcohol. Or much else ... It was just a lot of ice and some diluted syrup.
Add to the bad drinks, the non-existent service. There were only a handful of people and it took us 10 minutes to get the bill. We had to go to the till to pay it (and watch theatrical moves with our cards by the waiters).
All of this was £11.25 per cocktail. It would've been okay if they served them for £5 at happy hour. Not going back - they get two stars because of the view.

Love this place. One of London's gems kept for the locals. Intimate 6th floor restaurant. Looking over Charing Cross Road and down to the the London Eye. Great views of the city and the Shard. Food is exquisite and great value for money - around £40 per head. Service is friendly and professional! So put this on your hit list!

Went there for diner. Service wasn’t great. Long waiting time for drinks, had to ask twice for it. Missing forks & knives on the table the waiter didn’t even notice.
Portions were small and food was less than average for the price you pay.
I put 2 stars for the location and view on London.
It s apparently better to go for brunch.

Great spot with a superb view of London day and night. Ideal for an intimate diner or cocktails with friends. Friendly team. Avoid peak evening hours during week end as it gets busy and may lose its intimate vibe.
