A STAY FOR EVERY SEASON: SUMMER AT THE BERKELEY

For those planning a luxury weekend break in London, The Berkeley opens the door to an ever-evolving stream of captivating experiences. Design-led suites and rooms set the scene for long summer days of discovery, with the hotel’s landmark Knightsbridge address raising the curtain on inspiring exhibitions and world-class performances. Meanwhile, culinary craft takes an alfresco turn – from the sky-skimming rooftop bar to the Mediterranean-inspired terrace, made for sunlit gatherings.

SUMMER STARTS HERE

Beautifully framed by Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Hyde Park, The Berkeley has long been a coveted postcode for those in the know. Just moments away from London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods – where fashion-forward boutiques rub shoulders with royal palaces – it’s the perfect base from which to explore this iconic city. And as the capital shifts through the seasons, so too does The Berkeley – promising a dynamic destination from summer to autumn, and beyond.

LONDON’S CULTURAL ICONS

Summer in London ushers in a vibrant calendar of events and cultural gems. Follow in the footsteps of kings and queens, as Buckingham Palace opens its glittering State Rooms for the season. Or journey through the 20th century in dazzling style at the V&A’s highly anticipated Cartier exhibition.

From here, trace jewel-box colours across the capital with must-see art around every corner. Discover the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition – a vast annual showcase of groundbreaking contemporary works spanning printing to painting, sculpture and photography. Then, as the first leaves edge into gold, Frieze Art Fair brings some of the world’s most exciting galleries to Regent’s Park. Stroll through 6,000 years of creativity across Frieze London and Frieze Masters, as up-and-coming talent shares the stage with priceless artefacts.

WORKS OF PATISSERIE ART

From Old Masters to culinary masterpieces, Cedric Grolet at The Berkeley is a delicious complement to artistic afternoons in the capital. Known for his boundary-defying illusion cakes, the rockstar pâtissier has created a summer collection inspired by sun-kissed fruits and fragrant florals. There’s his larger-than-life strawberry with a twist of basil and a blueberry-swirled pavlova that’s made to share. Or plan ahead to savour autumnal bounty, as standout creations follow the rhythms of the changing seasons. Click and collect orders are made for picture-perfect picnics in Hyde Park, while his Chef’s Counter experience promises a rare glimpse into the theatre of the kitchen.

LA MÔME LONDON

Bringing this Cannes icon to the capital for the first time, it’s a joyful place to gather with friends and family for generous sharing plates under the setting sun. Begin with cloche-covered cocktails, revealed with a flourish, before an evening of Mediterranean-inspired fare and live music captures the inimitable energy of the Côte d’Azur.
