The Berkeley

The younger sister of Claridge’s and the Connaught, the Berkeley in Knightsbridge is rightly famed for its terrace, which moonlights accordingly throughout the year, depending on the temperatures: in winter, it’s often a festive cinema club dishing out hot chocolates and mulled wine; in summer, expect a breezy, beachy vibe. There’s a spa for Oskia and Bamford treatments, after which you can relax by the pool on the roof or at the seriously tempting Cedric Grolet pâtisserie.
