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.
