Our selection of the best Green Park bars


Green Park – in between sophisticated Mayfair and the royal grandeur of Buckingham Palace, it really has no choice but to be fancy as well. Piccadilly runs along its northern border, St James’s along its eastern border, and between these two cardinal points, luxurious international hotels, restaurants, and bars look onto its manicured landscape.


From the edge of Hyde Park Corner in the west to the edge of Piccadilly Circus in the east, we weaved in and out of the streets that make up the area of Green Park to find the best bars.


How does the tune go?, “If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go to…” So, dust off your white spats and iron your Arrow collars, Green Park is home to The Ritz, after all.
