On the 7th floor of The Trafalgar St. James Hotel in London, you will find the elegant and classic rooftop bar that overlooks St. James square and the London skyline. The rooftop bar offers Pan-Asian and European-inspired food, an artistic cocktail list, and a rich selection of spirits and liquors for you to savour. 

The dress code at the rooftop St James bar London is smart casual, meaning you cannot show up on a hoodie or athletic gear. The elegant dress of the customers matches the environment, with its navy blue, black, and wooden furniture. The simple and minimalistic furniture allows the interior design to shine on its classy hues of colour and sharpness. A northern European vibe takes over the space, both design and gastronomy. Let the cold shades of black, grey, and marble white embrace your luxurious experience as they contrast with the light brown from the wood boards on the walls.

Many rooftop bars in London close off during the winter. Still, you can enjoy year-round sunsets and cocktails, sitting close to heaters and covering yourself with blankets. The Northern Lights installations enchant you. During the colder months, they brighten the ceiling with blue, green, and purple luminescence. 

The food comes mostly for sharing, with a cuisine offering lunch and dinner menus. The cocktail list, which covers classics and some house specials, adjusts to the flavours of each season! For spring, find the Apricot Blossom for one, with Bulleit bourbon, apricot jam, lemon, aquafaba, and aromatic bitters.

As for food, prawn beignets and duck rillettes are two of the unique options served in the winter and Watermelon sashimi during the warmer spring months. On weekends, brunch is also available. The private space at St. Jame, called ROOM, offers exclusive views of the city, and it may need reservations ahead of time.

SOMA, a new bar in Soho London, is a Vedic Sanskrit word that means to ‘distil and extract’ – an invitation to explore the purity of flavour within our re-imagined classics. SOMA is a modern and minimalistic take on the basement speakeasy. The drinks menu is inspired by India and elsewhere.

Rik Campbell and Will Bowlby, are the owners and creative minds behind the new London bar, both Rik and Will own the restaurant next door, Kricket. – is a stylishly convivial trio of restaurants serving creative Indian small plates with British ingredients.

SOMA will amaze you when you walk in the gigantic 9 meter steel bar with a separate lounge bar off to the side. While going down the stairs, receive and unexpected hint of an incense scented stairway that leads into the bar. The walls are covered in inky black curtains that hide private booths while the bar with its scrubbed stainless-steel top takes centre stage. 

Be prepared for informed recommendations and detailed explanations that make your experience feel great, with drinks designed to be riffs on classics.

On the menu, the owners have decided to stick with the tried & tested Kricket philosophy of fusing East with West – the Margarita has chaat masala in it; the Old Fashioned’s made with jaggery and coconut; while the martini includes some lightly pickled mooli and fennel oil; while – in true speakeasy fashion – the food’s restricted to nibbles (like a stack of Indian crackers made from leftover restaurant rice, with a little yoghurt to dip in).

Other drinks on the menu include a banana daiquiri, made with discarded banana rum, acidified banana skin, Indian spices and cocoa and an almond highball, made with almond soda, Michter’s whiskey, avallen calvados, plum umeshu and amchoor bitters.

SOMA is definitely here to impress and we highly recommend this spot for a fancy date night out, ready to impress.
