Babylon (At The Roof Gardens), High Street Kensington

Smart and sophisticated, Babylon is an aptly-named urban oasis situated a soaring 100 feet above Kensington High Street, presenting breathtaking views over London's skyline from the stunning rooftop gardens. A regularly changing menu of modern British classics caters to a well-heeled crowd of diners, who step out onto the terrace for al fresco dining in the summer months. One of the most stand-out dishes is the Baked Fillet of Loch Duart Salmon with cucumber, samphire, dill butter sauce, potato spaghetti, and keta caviar. There are Table d'Hote lunch menus available in two courses (£20 Monday to Friday and £21.00 on Saturday) and three courses (£23.00 Monday to Friday and £24.00 on Saturday). For a more intimate dining experience, there is also a private dining room available. Combining with the panoramic vistas to create a glamourous backdrop to this stylish restaurant, the surrounding roof gardens are a splendid spot for al fresco dining, as well as being a home to the resident ducks and flamingoes. With live jazz music being performed on Tuesday nights, there is always a good reason to treat your taste buds to a mouth-watering meal at Babylon.
