Aubaine Notting Hill, Bar Lounge

Part of the Hilton Hotel, this branch of French gastronomy haven Aubaine overlooks Hyde Park and is as handy as it is well-decorated. As popular with locals as it is tourists, it’s a luxurious, relaxing space to set up camp for the afternoon (especially if the London weather is living up to its reputation).

Light and airy dining room and bar, spacious, opulent, impressive. Across the road form Hyde Park.
