When not distracted by the mesmerising work taking place in the open kitchen (from chefs working at the open sushi bar or the guest-facing hot kitchen) the 360-degree views take centre stage. The panoramic views frame London landmarks including Tower Bridge, The Shard, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Battersea Power Station. The Lucky Cat Bar offers a more laid-back aesthetic, to enjoy the views over a variety of Japanese whisky, negronis or a martini from its exclusive martini menu.

The interiors across Gordon Ramsay Restaurants at 22 Bishopsgate were designed by Russel Sage Studios. Using the sweeping cityscape vista as its focal point, the design studio used dark finishes and subtle lighting to minimise any glaring reflections in the windows. Key details centred on soft illuminations behind the main bar to cascading fabric to add textural variety without taking away the beauty of the views.

Speaking on the new opening founder Gordon Ramsay shared, ’I’ve been lucky enough to open restaurants all over the world, but there’s something truly unique about London. It’s where my journey began, and it’s the city I’m proud to call home. I couldn't be more excited to open three of our most iconic restaurants, all reimagined, taken to new heights, and built under one roof. All that and a place where anyone can come and level up their skills in the kitchen, it’s unbelievable. To offer exceptional food and drinks with some of the most stunning views of London’s skyline is truly amazing. It’s about creating something extraordinary for those who share our passion for great food and this incredible city.’
