The Rockwell

Deep in the heart of the world’s greatest city, lies a botanical hideaway perfect for the discerning, green fingered socialite.

Only a few metres from one of London’s most famous landmarks, Rockwell pays homage to Sir Archibald Rockwell whose travels, imagination and discoveries are celebrated throughout this magical setting.

As you walk in to Rockwell from under the watchful eye of Lord Nelson and the cacophony of sound that is Trafalgar Square, you are treated to a spectacular contrast from the fifty shades of grey streets of SW1, to a scene from The Secret Garden.

The curved double doors are adorned with plants and tropical flora welcoming you inside where the botanical theme continues with clever rainforest drapes falling silently down the pillars and walls. The artwork fashioning the walls at Rockwell are a joy to behold; drift away in the fantasy world of Sir Archibald whilst lounging in the plush red velvet sofas and leather bound curved booths. The long marble bar lined with teal leather and brass stools provide the ideal spot to watch your drinks being crafted and add further colour to the artist’s palette.

Dining at Rockwell is an experience not to be missed. The perfectly formed menu will have you struggling to choose from starters such as Tuna Tartare with Avocado and Ginger. Or how about a Ceviche Taco with Seabass and red cabbage Mains include Denham Vale Beef Burger, cheddar, pickled slaw and triple cooked fries all washed down with a palette cleansing Pineapple Carpaccio
