Victoria, London

Victoria’s best cocktail venue

Located beneath London's largest Living Wall, recently replanted with more than 6,000 herbaceous plants to breathe life into our surroundings, bbar is a vibrant cocktail bar and restaurant in the heart of Victoria.

Our new menu plays homage to our heritage, with dishes that beautifully reflect the flavours of South Africa with a playful twist, from Boerewors Eggs Benedict with chilli chutney biltong to The Gatsby Sub, a Western Cape pulled BBQ short rib of beef.

Alongside this exceptional new menu, we have live mix sessions and DJ sets throughout the week, as well as contemporary signature cocktails created by our resident mixologists.

Museums, galleries & music

Lovers of art and culture will feel equally at home as they enjoy staying in the heart of London's museum district – the world-famous Victoria & Albert Museum is barely five minutes on foot, and the Royal Albert Hall only a few streets beyond. The Natural History Museum, Saatchi Gallery and the Science Museum are also within easy strolling distance, while Britain's leading horticultural event, The Chelsea Flower Show, is held nearby.

London's best shopping

The Egerton's location is paradise for shoppers - with Knightsbridge, Harrods and Harvey Nichols only a short distance away. The hotel is on the doorstep of one of London’s most popular shopping destinations, while a short distance to the south you’ll find the long rows of glittering shops along Brompton Road, Sloane Street, and the King's Road. To the north-west lies the Westfield shopping centre with over 265 retailers from luxury designers to high street labels.

London’s major attractions

Trafalgar Square, home of the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, is only a few minutes away by cab. From the square you enter Whitehall, leading to the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, the Cenotaph, Big Ben, the London Eye and Westminster Abbey.

Hidden gems

The area around the Egerton House Hotel is studded with fascinating, but slightly lesser known attractions. These include Apsley House (the magnificent former home of the Duke of Wellington), Brompton Oratory (the famous Roman Catholic church), Oscar Wilde’s house (in Tite Street, Chelsea), the home of the famous 19th-century historian Thomas Carlyle (in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea) and Chelsea Harbour with its popular Design Centre, restaurants and marina. Chelsea Physic Garden, beside the Thames, is home to a range of plants, including the largest fruiting olive tree in the UK.
