Qype: The Trafalgar in London



London - Travel & Hotels - Hotels - 5 Star Hotels

I wanted drinks with a view so went with a friend to the roof garden of the Trafalgar hotel after work yesterday. Great view indeed looking out from the 6th floor terrace towards Trafalgar Square. Cocktails were as pricey as you'd expect at an upscale hotel bar (between 10-13quid for most), but what I didn't know in advance was that they charge 5quid pp (on a Monday!) just to get up to the roof garden.

So with some cocktails, a shared jug of Pimms, and a sharing platter of Asian snacks it turned into an expensive outing overall, but I did have a great time, relaxed in the oversized chairs, and enjoyed the mini-escape from the bustling scene just 6 floors down that seemed far far away. The international bar staff were friendly as well and may have convinced me to visit again soon. We'll see!
