As the lift doors open on the ninth floor, you’re immediately welcomed by the handsome view of Rombergs rooftop bar, sensing the Crystalbrook Kingsley’s five star rating. Mere moments later and a short stroll to the right, the Roundhouse steals your attention with its floor to ceiling panoramic view of the city. From the front of house team, the sommelier to the chef, it’s all hands on deck, providing impeccable yet relaxed service. Be enchanted by the decor and get ready to try some seriously fabulous food. If you can fit it in, finish with the Coconut crème diplomat, served with Kensington pride mango, caramelised coconut and passionfruit – yum!
