Very Good ServiceJune 11, 2017One has to visit the Roof Gardens at least once. Makes a fantastic setting for great parties and many events are open to the general public especially throughout the summer with BBQ nights.
Ric SanteuginiOctober 31, 2016It's a lovely venue, the gardens are amazing and they have flamingos too (not sure how they feel about the cold weather) it's fancy but hey, you must try it at least once. Food is good
SerraduraMarch 7, 2015Hidden gem just off Kensington high street. Go up to the 6th floor to enjoy the beautiful and quiet roof gardens. Free entrance, just sign in at the reception. And yes, there are flamingos!
Lizzie PMarch 30, 2016Unique venue that is worth a visit if you're in London. Place is pricey and the crowd can be hit & miss but the stunning views and flamingos make it worthwhile
HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011Above 99 Kensington High St can be found the largest roof garden in Europe, an exclusive hospitality venue laid out in 1938. There are 500 species of plant, fountains and even flamingos.
Noons AFebruary 5, 2014Amazing place especially on a sunny day ur not gonna enjoy it in the rainy weather. Also, make sure 2 call before coming to c if it's open, cause they host private events in the gardens, free entry
Maryam MustafaMay 12, 2016amazing place for lunch or breakfast . Loved the truffle risotto . And then take a walk in the garden and look for the flamingos
Ekaterina KJanuary 4, 2015Well known roof garden with flamingos and other interesting stuff. Place work as a restaurant and a club. Reserve is mandatory. Limited choice of dishes, but delicious!

Billur BakarMarch 26, 2015Amazing view of london and lovely pelicans :) the sugar they serve with tea is ace!
Lidia VorontsovaJune 3, 2015not sure whether the cocktails are worth their price, but the views just about make up for it. sit outside on the terrace if the weather lets you.
Evening StandardMay 24, 2012Perfect for lunchtime drinks or dinner, the Roof Gardens also run a season of gourmet BBQ events which, when the weather hots up, are not to be missed. Read more
Mihnea MiculescuAugust 15, 2014Brilliant rooftop garden hangout on warm summer evenings. Go only when there's something on. Do NOT miss the burger.

Camilla Mary-RoseMarch 24, 2014Check out the Love Brunch event in the summer. The venue has a lot more magic during the day!
Kevin HuberAugust 11, 2015Great food, drinks and gardens. Great date spot. If you don't close its on you
Nicolas Parsons-YoungJune 2, 2013The cocktails are amazing, food even better! Views even more better!
Omid AshtariAugust 18, 2011Great place for a summer night as they have a huge (as the name says) roof garden. Music is appealing but crowd can be hit and miss.
Ben LabbeSeptember 29, 2012Try to take a stroll through the back of the Garden too & definitely try one of their cocktails!
Carlos GonzalezMay 23, 2014The place to go on a warm sunny evening, in winter you'd be constrained inside
YOUhomeJune 26, 20141 ½ acres of garden on the top floor above Ken High St with bars and restaurants, and flamingos
clive kornitzerOctober 2, 2016Good venue as along as weather is nice and you are outside worth it just for the Flamingos
James GeraghtyAugust 12, 2012Go hard or go home. Amazing night. Thank you:) #London2012 #theroofgardens
Style by StylismOctober 26, 2011ok I don't actually come here too often, mainly because the entrance fee is high and drinks are ridiculously expensive. BUT, the place is clean, there's a BBQ stand and its quiet. The view is amazing.
Steven WallerAugust 11, 2014The views and the classy food / cocktail combination made this place a hit for me
Jo NAugust 5, 2012My favourite. Go here during major events to catch fireworks with a good view. Avoid buying cocktails - very expensive!- Giorgi LivesonMay 12, 2014the worst cloak room ever, but the garden is amazing, not to mention perfect music. Indian drummer made the night
JaimieApril 22, 2012Beautiful, unique venue and much of the crowd really nice but security very disappointing & drinks v expensive.
Adam MillsJuly 13, 2010This is a special place, the food and drink is superb, but the gardens are just amazing, there are flamingos there too...
- JaimieApril 22, 2012Beautiful, unique venue and much of the crowd really nice but security very disappointing (man threw his drink in my face & wasn't kicked out) & drinks v expensive.
Michael AntonMay 25, 2010Skip the clubbing, but give them a ring during the day and see if the gardens are open to the public, if they are you can stroll around the stunning rooftop landscape for free!
Elliott DexterMarch 14, 2012Go before sunset to have a drink on the balcony then food at Babylon restaurant.
Martin GrayJune 15, 2014Great gardens but inside venue is tired and tacky; in desperate need of an update. Bar service rude and inefficient and sound system is horrible like something from 1980s.
Russell SmithJanuary 23, 2011A single G&T, two shots of sambuca - £27...questionable music...but lovely gardens and venue...
Jeffrey Euen-GowFebruary 8, 2013Seventa Image, official makeup partner to Tiger Lilly performing at the Roof Gardens tonight.
Stephy BJanuary 14, 2012The private room here has the most incredible view of the sunset over London
