8 at The Londoner in City of London, Westminster

Lovely place with amazing cocktails and impressive selection of Japanese whiskey. We sat by the bar and been served by Luka and Daniel. Very professional and friendly bartenders. It was a pleasure to watch their cocktail making skills 👌

Drinks were delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the Japanese electronic bidet bathrooms. The garden was warm and cozy, the staff surprised us with a complimentary cocktail as it was one of our birthdays. I’ll be back soon

Menus are in Japanese and English. Food White is Japanese fusion. (we just ordered drinks) Good views.

Have been visiting this place for cocktails. Very nice and friendly staff! Delicious cocktails!

The atmosphere in this place is amazing and would love to visit in Spring or Autumn. Food was good, service was ok a little slow but staff were pleasant nonetheless. Summer 2024 visit was so good went two days in a row 29th and 30th August. Our server on the 30 August was amazing, Tano, thank you.

The atmosphere is pleasant, and I really like the dark theme, though some parts of the bar are a bit too dim. We sat in the garden area, which was lovely, but the seating arrangement and quality could be improved since the seats became uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. The service was excellent—everyone was friendly and professional, creating a welcoming environment. The staff were also very accommodating in explaining the menu, which was helpful since I'm not very familiar with Japanese cuisine. As for the food, I found it a bit average and overpriced. This might vary depending on personal preference, but I expected more, especially given the prices (both in terms of portion size and taste). However, that’s just my opinion. Lastly, thank you for the birthday gesture!

Staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive. Location is good and the views from the roof top bar are OK and only OK. Our billionaire prime minister celebrated his "promotion" and given the cost of food and drink here, you perhaps need to have an exceptionally rich wife behind you to come here. Everything is eye wateringly expensive, for a venue that is OK. My recommendation is to go to the OXO or Shard for better views of London at prices that are either comparable/better. Food was OK but were 3, yes count them, 3 taco lobster bites really worth £32? Personally, I love good food and am happy paying for it, but this place is form over substance. ****** Update ******* Thanks Michael for the response. It took over a year for this response. That prime minister has also gone (another conservative one, so you trying to keep up was hard). And lets be honest it shows that feedback makes no difference and the justification that the quality of your ingredients is so wonderful that you can justify the over charging is interesting. Given in the mean time inflation ran rampant, I am guessing that the costs have done the same. I'm not a billionaire, but as already stated like good food and wine and I'm not against paying for it, but a year later I remember the eye watering price and my recommendation to go somewhere else would stand. Good luck

Cocktails and food were nice. The staff were very unfriendly and unattentive.

Wow! What a bar, like something out of a Bond film. Perfect drinks where you can taste the bartender. Balanced and harmoniously flavored cocktails that cannot be found on every menu (many of our own compositions). If you feel a little hungry, the bar menu offers excellent snacks and dishes, not just chips and nuts. But without a reservation it probably won't be easy. - - > Don't forget to make a reservation 😉

We visited just for cocktails in the outdoor terrace area of the rooftop, it was lovely, the dim lighting really set the mood and the waiters were very attentive and helpful. We called before about ten minutes before arriving to check if they had any availability which they did despite it being a Friday night. The decor and general architecture outside was beautiful, the plants and the roof were amazing. Also you can see the London Eye from the toilets which was a nice surprise!

From the minute was arrived for dinner at 8 at the Londoner , Ethan our waiter was exceptional. All his recommendations he suggested from the menu were delicious- some we would have never tried ended up being mouth watering delightful . Ethan even managed to move us onto the outside roof top for evening cocktails.

Lovely place with great vibes, music is very nice Friday, Saturday night The terrace is with beautiful view towards London eye 👍recommend it

8 at the Londoner was a great spot for a fun, trendy night during our honeymoon in London! We had a great time enjoying fantastic cocktails, food and service. Murilo took fantastic care of us. Recommend the lychee martini, jasmine margarita, king prawn and sliced ribeye menu options. Cheers!

We entered without a reservations, had some drinks downstairs while the rooftop bar opened at 5pm. David served us upstairs, he was amazing, a great laugh, catered to all our needs. Ten out of ten experience. Would definitely recommend

Loved it. Felt like a tapas place, drinks were awesome, service was on point, ambience just perfect.

David was a great host during our visit. The experience was fantastic, the ambience, music and the weather all combined to a chilled out vibe. Cannot wait to return

Great food and ambience. Live music and an exceptional menu. Would recommend when you’re into fine dining and a cocktail lover!

Very nice rooftop bar restaurant to visit. The view on one side(right) of the restaurant is nice, the service was great and a very cosy atmosphere.

Absolutely ridiculous service. I had a booking confirmed. They supposedly sent an email asking for credit card details which I never got. So reservation was cancelled without even a phone call. I called within 2 minutes of receiving the cancellation email and they tell me there’s no more availability. Their staff was as rude and stupid as it gets on phone.

I have walked past this hotel many times and didn’t realise they had a rooftop bar. So we have popped in yesterday and were very impressed with the service and atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Great service, great views, slightly over priced for some food items

Good cocktails, food is very poor value

The food was delicious. Service was top notch

Great service and Japanese whisky. Brilliant service and atmosphere! Recommend visiting

I have been to the bar several times, not just for drinks but also for food. It has a nice ambiance, good atmosphere, and music. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes a bit unfriendly, but that hasn't stopped me from going back. I like it. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality is good. Lots of privacy.

Did not eat but saw the food at other tables and their happy reactions, but for our experience we had a lovely late night Friday with some tasty cocktails and a live DJ. David and Maria were very attentive, friendly, and very fun to chat with!

Fantastic cocktails and and an amazing team member called David! He was very knowledgeable and incredibly engaging and really helped us settle in.

Last night I with some friends went to the 8 Bar at the Londoner and David kindly escorted us to the table. I was so amazed of how David looked after us and his service was on top level. Thank you David for your service, we had an amazing time with my friends.

It is a lovely place to go for a drink! Also David gave great recommendations for our drinks. I will definitely go again to the 8.

Fantastic experience on every visit the staff are amazing especially the bar staff and concierge. Would highly recommend

Very nice and trendy inside and outside. Drinks and Snacks top and nice view on the London Eye.

Have been here a few times, nice Japanese style cocktails. My favorite one is matcha, sake is also good. Was sitting at the garden this time, enough warm with the heater 🤗

Wonderfull , and the window view🔥 👍 That's London 🇬🇧💂

Loved it. Great place for Saturday night!

The online booking process was a nighmare. Different menus for different bars and different menus at different times. Inside bar? Outside terrace? Couldn't make head nor tail of it and ended up not at all sure what I'd booked. However, when we got there it was absoluely stunning and the staff were all lovely. Great waiter! We ended up in the Shima Garden which was gorgeous. Two giant problems - a rasied step up to the searing area which was impossible to see. I tripped over it going to the table and fell off it leaving the table. And a big standing heater very close, which, when I fell down the step, I was lucky not to crash into. I was with my daughter after the theatre. The menu was very limited but the food we had was delicious. The cocktails we had were also delicious but a sadly small cocktail menu compared to the pages and pages of wines and spirits menu. We'd have gladly drunk out way through a few more delcious cocktails if there had been more on offer (don't have the Matcha one, though). My first reaction was to give this five stars but sadly have to take a star off for the limited cocktail menu, the confusing booking process and the life-threatening combo of step and heater!

We stayed at The Londoner. It was an amazing hotel, very convenient as it's close to everywhere. Lovely spa and great complentarie tea, coffee and soft drinks.

Good cocktails but weird service. We have been asked to provide our names and telephone numbers as soon as we walked in “for the security of people around us”… why? Did we look frightening?

We got the valentines set, the food was disastrous and we all had stomach pains after. The sashimi was the same quality as that of itsu, sliced in hazardous ways. The lobster tempura was oddly sour from the vinegar, the butter chicken incredibly salty. Terrible food, good service, but absolutely terrible food. 0 worth, also the tables are an odd height, overall definitely will not return whatsoever. The set is such a scam for its £220 price.

Charity Function for Great Ormond Street Hospital- excellently planned and executed. Service exemplary .meal top quality, whole night fantastic.

I had Nanbu Bijin Umeshu (Plum Sake) tonight for the first time it was absolutely delicious very refreshing like a dessert wine very nice I would definitely have it again I also had some king prawns in a filo pastry with a wasabi mayonnaise which was very different but I found delicious and I would definitely have it again. The staff who I had were extremely friendly very professional they walked us to our seats and made us feel welcome they informed us of the different specials that are available that night and we'd never felt pressured to order quickly ultimately we had a good night there and we'll definitely return potentially to eat outside and enjoy the view of the London eye. 🥰

Overall, it was a good experience.

Me and my friends have visited the rooftop bar on several occasions, the last being just before Xmas 2023. We have always enjoyed the atmosphere and great cocktails. But what has gone wrong..? The cocktail menu has all but disappeared. 4 martini based and 4 sparkling cocktails! I asked about the full list but the waiter had no real clue and just rattled off something barely audible. I asked further with another staff member and just got the same waiter come over and parrot the same thing. The place was pretty dead. Maybe the chill cocktail vibe has been killed off. The American lady mixologist of 2022 seems long gone. Shame.

Very modern nice place. Drinks were good!

The ambiance was wonderful but the food was rather poor - both my friend and I agreed that it was extremely over-salted. In addition, we found that the cocktails were just alright. I am not certain whether I would recommend returning, despite the atmosphere and decent service.

Very nice bar/hotel in Leicester square. Some lovely photogenic spots. When you enter the hotel there's a pretty Christmas tree to your Right, seating in the middle, and then a piano and drum set below a lovely staircase. You must check in with your reservation for 8 at the Londoner downstairs by the lift, then you'll be sent up to the 8th floor. Unfortunately we couldn't really see the view, as the doors to the terrace were locked, but nether the less the decor is lovely (more so to the left) so if you want to sit in the nicer and brighter area make sure you mention when booking. Our corner was still nice, but the speaker was too loud and the lights were too dim (only dim lights on the wall, so even the photos were terrible as there was no lighting coming from in front of us), and there was a couch, for half the table and small stalls for the other half, so not very comfortable. I ordered 1 cocktail, which wasn't any good and of course over priced, so I didn't order another. Everything I tried food wise was extremely lackluster, considering the cost it was shocking. I actually didn't enjoy anything I ate. The rib eye was cooked well, but the flavor was off. And the rib eye was better than the wagyu which is saying something. Honestly felt like I just threw my money in the trash, but I was there for a birthday so I didn't want to complain. If it wasn't for the service and the atmosphere, my rating would've probably been a 1. Although I was disappointed that I had to request that mine and the birthday girls coats could be put in the cloak room, considering they had offered everyone else, I waited about 40 minutes before I asked. The toilet is nice though - heated seats, built in bidet. I genuinely can't recommend any dish.

Incredibly nice place, music was a “touch” loud for a date night, but that’s just a personal thing.

Cool vibes .. great cocktails ❤️

Great atmosphere, very laid back and chilled out.

The Londoner is the best hotel in London by far! We have been many times and every time we leave we are blown away with the service and impeccable attention to detail that we have received. Location is great and the staff are amazing especially Rohan and Jennifer they went above and beyond. We had breakfast there too which was 10/10. We also make sure to visit the spa on every visit as this is such a lovely space to relax and unwind. Definitely recommend!

Great evening to celebrate our anniversary a year after having our wedding at the Lomdoner. The service was top notch while welcoming. The food was gourmet level despite it being officially bar snacks. There was an array of Wagyu beef which is rare to find in London. I had the crab soup which was delicious. The drinks were great too which I had a Japanese whiskey sour. We even had a free high end sake because it was our anniversary! The only negative was that it's far from cheap. Oh and a decent view too. Definitely worth a visit for a rooftop saki & wagyu beef taco in central London!

Fantastic cocktails, great service, noteworthy toilets. Smells nice too.

First visit to this fabulous venue! Stayed for drinks only, really nice vibe. Service was great, my iPhone battery was running low and when I asked if someone could give it a little charge whilst there not a problem at all.

Another excellent night with Lukas and team Aardrian? Can’t spell but they were amazing hosts.

This place is amazing. The food was delicious the head chef very humble. Cooked us beautiful food. Atmosphere brilliant. Would definitely go back

Fancy rooftop bar with unique drinks

The best place to go in London!

We were staying at The Londoner when we decided to visit the rooftop bar. When we stepped off the elevator, we were instantly impressed! The atmosphere is relaxed and the interior is stunning. Plus great views of the city, especially at night. The service was flawless. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. Our drinks were beautiful and delicious. We wish we would have thought to eat dinner there! The menu looked delicous. We will absolutely be back!

Good vibes Good drinks Good foods

Had a great time here after the theatre and enjoyed the DJ and cocktails and atmosphere. Great views of the EYE in the dining room and bathrooms. The service was nice and cocktails were interesting. We had eaten so i haven't tried the food yet. I will be back!

A hidden gem right by Leicester Square. Escape from the busy crowd and dive into this elegant cocktail bar. Enjoyed the view of London Eye and Big Ben from the Terrace.

Came here when my brother came to London and he was so amazed thank you !

Great service and did omakase for 1 and one ALA carte which was great

Food is really good. Cocktails were great too. I’m not really happy with the cushions that moves.

Delicious food and great service. Ambience was very nice with a DJ playing electronic music at sound level that still allow conversation. Great place for a date or a night out!

Tried to book drinks before our dinner in whitcombes restaurant downstairs and they wanted a £100/head just to have a quick drink. We had a large booking, so happily took the booking elsewhere. Aweful.

Really good cocktails at this bar. Has nice outside space and also sweeping views of London. Good service. Will come back soon

Exquisite drink menu and location, very nice place to be

I have been to 8 @ The Londoner a few times, it’s a great spot to enjoy drinks before or after dinner. If you’re able to sit on the terrace there is a lovely view of the London eye and on a day where the weather is clear, it’s a lovely view! Otherwise there is the Shima garden which is unique to sit out on in summer or winter.

Kids not allowed after 9pm. That was a good to know. But otherwise beautiful place!

Didnt have any food so giving it 3 as it wouldnt be fair to leave it blank or give it 5 stars. Drinks are great. They are willing to make drinks off the menu if you ask. Nice ambience and great service. Only had a drink.

Restaurant on a top floor of a luxurious hotel, I particularly liked the customer service, staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was good, inside seating is not particularly great in the middle/inside section of the restaurant. Outside seating is prettier and you have the views by you. It was my cousins birthday so they bought complimentary drinks which was very nice of them.

I found it very strange, I was already on the third order and I was sitting on the porch, here I come the guy who was serving me told me that I had to leave where I was because my stay time was over and I had a reservation. that's because I'm a guest at the hotel and my third dish hadn't arrived yet. I found it inelegant

It's a cozy bar to enjoy cocktails with friends here.

Service has never been better than at The Londoner

한국인 후기를 보고 찾아왔습니다. 모든 직원들은 정말로 친절했습니다. 처음 야외에 앉고 싶었으나 자리가 없어 바텐더 앞에 앉았는데, 후에 야외 자리가 비자마자 자리를 옮겨주며 음식이 괜찮은 지 물어보았습니다. 술 뿐만 아니라 타코도 정말 맛있습니다. 아직은 쌀쌀하니 긴팔을 챙겨다니시길 바랍니다.

I visited The Londoner yesterday, I travel a lot for work, so I stay many nights in different hotels and I can say loudly that the Londoner is one of my favourite hotel and restaurants, with fantastic atmosphere, view and service. The food was absolutely stunning, I didn’t have much appetite but I ended up ordering lots dishes, they looked so good and I wanted to try them all 😂 and I can say that they were one better then the other one. Unfortunately I had to drive, so I wasn’t able to drink any of the amazing cocktails that I saw coming but they looked amazing and I’ sure they were delicious too. The service was excellent, Gabriella was constantly checked up on me and make sure I was okay and so did Julio the assistance manager. I was lucky enough to be able to visit all the bars in the hotel, rooftop, ballroom and Spa, Sara and Julio showed me around, such a great treat 🥰 All the staff made me feel welcome and special. I don’t use to leave reviews but I have to this time. I will definitely be back soon at The Londoner. If you want fine dine and great atmosphere, now you know where to go. Thank me later ;)

One of the nicest venues and even nicer staff! Beatrice went above and beyond and was so patient for an event I needed planning. Nothing was too big or small and a truly lovely lady to deal with. I HIGHLY recommend them and the views are just phenomenal.. thank you Beatrice!

Came to celebrate a sunny day out with some nice cocktails and was not disappointed. The 8 bar has an amazing selection of drinks for all tastes and not only are they aesthetically pleasing they are delicious too! 10/10 would recommend for a treat

Loved the atmosphere and drinks. My whole experience at The Londoner was 5 star ⭐️ from start to finish!

Super venue. Bar on the rooftop, the smartly situated heaters make for a comfortable experience. Service was exceptional, we had some spicy edamame beans - excellent. It can be a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Definitely returning again.

The food was delicious and the ambience was amazing. They brought the food very quickly as requested. The cocktails were fantastic and the presentation was very delightful. Although, i would like to say that the music was a bit unexpected and not suited for the ambience. A Japanese folk instrumental music would definitely get you a better vibe as the place is themed as such. I would like to add that the service was very welcoming and i would definitely recommend this for a nice cozy get together, date, a catch up or just for the views of The City of London.

Reluctant to leave a review as I’d like to keep this place secret! Lovely views, inventive cocktails with Japanese influence. I haven’t tried the food behind the Padron peppers, which were excellent. Be ready to pay £18 per cocktail with a steep 15% service charge.

Great lounge bar, lively music, exquisite cocktails. Our favourite was the osaka yuzu, a twist of the paloma. The views from the terrace are fabulous. The toilets are remote controlled, but I can't describe the experience, you'll have to try for yourself

Great choice of cocktails, lovely views, good music and atmosphere

As recommended ... Good service and good food - lovely spot!

Expensive which is fine if there Is ambience. But it felt like eating in the middle of a club. Either be a restaurant or be a club. Don’t be both

Beautiful hotel and the staff are amazing

An impressive hotel where style, design and engineering meet seamlessly.

We have a nice dinner with my daughter. It is the 2nd time I am coming and in both occasions the quality is above expectations! Service is quick , plates tasteful, staff polite. The restaurant has also view to London area. Prices a bit higher than average , but the overall experience is simply great!

Friendly staff, live music and delightful decor.

On the high end in terms of price. Only had some starters, but what we had was yummy and the cocktails nice and strong.

Nice lounge on ground floor. Very luxurious hotel and a decent crowns. Despite its location, it’s not too busy and not well-known. It’s expensive, so they probably keeps the crowds away too. M had two cocktails which were very good and well made. Service was good. Cocktails are very expensive, but not outrageous (considering London prices).

Overall a spectacular roof terrace. We went here for pre birthday celebration and really had an amazing time. Great place to go for drinks and dinner.

Amazing cocktails and the most stunning interior with an open fire in the middle of the terrace!

My boyfriend and I visited 8 at the Londoner last December and it was one of our favourite restaurants. The food was delicious and the cocktails were amazing. The atmosphere was also great and the restaurant looked lovely. There is also an outdoor bar but which looked great too. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a fancy meal and a beautiful setting.

Lovely ambiance at the outdoor seating. Cozy seats with heaters nearby. Absolutely lovely cocktails - my fav was the Sakura Royale. The appetisers were simple but nice, the seabass carpaccio was a bit disappointing but the beef tataki was great! Service was good and they were attentive. Pricey place but worth it! Definitely will visit again.

Atmosphere is good.. food is average

Top class. Bar and restaurant both fantastic

Can not fault this restaurant!! Beautiful decor and the food was incredible. We opted for the special set menu (£120) and the Saki paired with each dish made the dining experience a special one. Our waiter was fantastic, very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. In fact I must say the staff at this hotel were all exceptional. If you want something special I can’t recommend this place enough. It is the first restaurant that I’ve ate in which doesn’t offer desserts, although I will say that the dishes themselves were generous, the Saki selection was exceptional so made up for no desserts!

Top class cocktails on the roof bar
