Dine in the sky 100ft above London

Book a daredevil al fresco feast and savour menus devised by three leading chefs

London in the Sky, the hair-raising restaurant hanging from a crane 100ft above the city returns to the Southbank, from July 5 to 15. For the first time in the UK, three tables will be suspended simultaneously side-by-side – allowing 22 diners to enjoy breakfast (£50), lunch (£125), afternoon tea (£75), dinner (£150-£250) and cocktails (£75), prepared by a team standing at the centre of the table.

London in the Sky is lifted 100ft above the city by a crane

Three of London’s high-flying chefs – Pascal Aussignac of Michelin-starred Club Gascon; Robin Gill, co-founder of The Diary, Counter Culture and Sorella; and Lee Westcott of Typing Room – have each devised a three-course lunch and four-course dinner menu for one of the tables. On July 6 and 13, the chefs will cook and host dinner in person (£250, including champagne reception, wine in the sky and after-dinner drinks on the ground). Aussignac’s table will serve dishes such as Gascony pie, made with chicken ballotine and lobster with a bisque sauce; Gill’s menu features one-year lamb merguez with aubergine, miso and artichoke; while Westcott’s dishes include sea trout with heritage tomatoes, gooseberry and green almond. Vegetarian options are available on each table.

Diners will be able to take in amazing views of the city as they dine over Southbank

Diners must arrive 30 minutes before take-off to be securely fastened into safety harnesses before each Sky Table is winched 100ft up by mobile cranes. Flights will run daily from 8.30am to 10.30pm.
