Babylon

"The award winning food at Babylon will leave your taste buds tickled and thrilled. Our menus change regularly to ensure that only the freshest, seasonal, and sustainably sourced ingredients are used. Enjoy..."

Upon transitioning from the Welcome Bar into the restaurant guests are greeted by this wonderful arrangement. The combination of the wall paper with the mirror, crystal chandelier & flowers is fantastic & displays the simple elgance that seems to eminate from all facets of this restaurant.

Babylon, Part I

One floor above The Roof Gardens lies Babylon, one of the most delicious restaurants we've encountered thus far in London. 

With swanky cocktails and a gourmet menu that focuses on seasonal & fresh ingredients Babylon and The Roof Gardens could easily be the new darlings of Sunset Blvd should they ever decide to venture into the states. The description given for attire is "smart casual" which is also an apt description for this chic establishment.

The Welcome Bar

Upon entering the restaurant guests are greeted by the Welcome Bar. This small lounge area extends to a large outdoor deck that overlooks the city.

The texture, colors and pattern of this couch & the surrounding ottomans helped to bring the outdoors inside. 

These simple but very beautiful orchid arrangements graced the cocktail tables

Not your average bar tab...

Instead of having to fuss with transferring or settling up a tab at the bar, simple keep this discreet card with you and present it when you are ready for the final bill. What a great idea!

A 10yr Fizz

"What's better than strawberries and champagne? nothing. Except this, with a hint of fresh Basil and Grand Marnier. Created to celebrate Babylon's 10th Birthday!"

Raspberry Mojito

"Enjoy a fruity version of the classic muddled drink. Pampero Bianco, fresh mint, fresh lime, fresh raspberry puree and brown sugar."

The Red Edition

"Beaumet Brut champagne with the addition of beautifully floral rose vodka and a dash of cranberry juice, this is an in house favourite."

The Roof Gardens

The Roof Gardens at 99 Kensington High Street are truly a treasure. Perched on the 7th floor above the hustle & bustle of the city, one will find labyrinths of distinct lush garden areas perfect for entertaining & lounging.The gardens have sweeping views of the city and offer a tranquil oasis.

Seamlessly intertwined with the garden, the bar can be accessed from various locations throughout the gardens.
