    This is our favourite bar in London, we go there purely for the cocktails but sometimes we will have a bowl of fries or some small plates. It is truly lovely. The staff, pianist and ambience is simply the best. We never needed to book historically but you do now so do it so you are not disappointed.

    Great lunch deal for £35. Delicious club sandwich and beautiful crispy fries. A very good sized portion as well. Good to have not just g&t drinks choice, so I had a white wine. The only thing I would change about the lunch deal is the bottle of water. I usually only have tap water anyway so didn’t really need the bottle and it would’ve been great to have a choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate instead.

    We came for cream tea and lunch. Amazing service from the staff and superb food as always. The cocktails were prepared to perfection. The beautiful Lilibet also made an appearance, will definitely be back again.

    The perfect place to meet a Book Club friend. The surroundings were plush and sumptuous and it was a real treat. Its not cheap but this is a high end establishment. Service was impeccable and they went to every effort to accommodate my Club Sandwich to be made into a wrap instead. The location is right outside the 3rd exit of Hyde Park Corner tube station so extremely easy to find.

    It was a one of the best dining experience we ever had ,we’ve been to a different well known chain of hotels and restaurants and Lanesborough Grill restaurants delivered a world class service .The food was excellent, and the staff looked after us well. Regarding the Bar, the ambience, service, drinks, and service overall it was exceptional.

    Kay was an exceptional waiter who helped us select and to enjoy the amazing food and drinks at the Library Bar. It's a must for an after-dinner drink in London. Make sure you get a reservation.
