The rooftop bar that looks right over London that will take your breath away
Perched high above the city skyline, Savage Garden London offers one of the most breathtaking rooftop views in the capital.
Located at DoubleTree by Hilton London - Tower of London, on Floor 12, 7 Pepys St, City of London, London EC3N 4AF, this sophisticated bar delivers an experience that blends luxury, romance, and panoramic cityscapes.
With unparalleled views of London's landmarks, twinkling lights, and a sleek, stylish setting, it is an ideal destination for a romantic evening.

We visited for their Valentine's Day event, an exclusive experience, though the venue remains a year-round hotspot for cocktails, fine bites, and unforgettable city views.
The atmosphere was elegantly intimate, with beautifully curated décor that enhanced the romance of the evening.
A live singer performed throughout the night, adding to the luxurious yet relaxed ambiance.
It was an evening of decadence, indulgence, and charm.
The Valentine's cocktails were a highlight, blending bold, creative flavours that matched the venue's daring aesthetic.

We sampled both options, and they were crafted with precision, perfectly balancing sweetness, acidity, and depth.
To accompany our drinks, we indulged in a selection of savoury bites, skipping only the white bean purée dish.
The standout was the slow-braised beef feather blade, served atop silky potato purée, crispy battered onion, and a rich beef glaze.
Every bite was succulent, melting in the mouth, with the deep, umami-rich sauce elevating the dish to pure indulgence.

The pink peppercorn-dusted squid with yuzu mayo was light yet flavourful, with a delicate crispiness and citrusy zing.
For dessert, we shared the chocolate-coated strawberries with popping candy and sweet basil cream.

It was a playful yet sophisticated treat, perfectly rounding off the meal with a combination of indulgent chocolate and refreshing herbal notes.
As flawless as the food and atmosphere were, the timing of our experience was slightly disappointing.
We were informed we had the table for an hour and 30 minutes, yet we were moved on after only 75 minutes due to high demand.
With no additional seating available to finish our drinks, it left the evening feeling a little rushed.

Final thoughts: Savage Garden delivers an unforgettable rooftop experience, with stunning views, romantic ambiance, and well-crafted cocktails and bites.
The Valentine's event was beautifully curated, from the elegant décor to the live music.
Despite the early table turnover, the overall experience was indulgent, stylish, and sophisticated.
For those seeking an elevated date night or a special celebration, this is a must-visit destination in London.

Ways to save on your wedding
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — June is the traditional month for weddings, but no matter when you've set the date, one thing is for sure: getting to the big day takes a lot of planning. And a lot of money. According to the average wedding costs $33,900. That's up from $28,000 pre-pandemic. If you're going to spend the money, you should get the most for it. Here are some affordable ways to keep your wedding costs manageable. The reception: Many couples are opting to have their ceremony on a weekday to keep wedding costs down. They're also staying away from romantic holidays like Valentine's Day, a time when vendors may increase prices. Wedding planners advise looking for a venue that offers package deals (venue, catering, etc.). And always try to negotiate a price. The decor: Do you really need that ice sculpture in the shape of a swan? If the answer is yes, by all means get one. But if you're on a tight budget, think about renting flowers or greenery. Framed pictures of the bride, groom and their family members are a nice touch too. The flowers: Consider renting flower arrangements and greenery for the church ceremony. Many churches have more than one wedding on the same day. You could contact the other brides and see if you can either keep their flowers for your wedding (and, of course, compensating them!) or you could offer your flowers (at a nice price) to the bride whose wedding is after yours. If that's not possible, think about using the flower arrangements from your ceremony at the reception too. (Be sure to ask someone to handle transporting them for you.) The guests: Again, do you really need your cousin's best friend's sister's babysitter at your wedding? Be judicious. Try this test: if you close your eyes to imagine your wedding and don't see the person's face you're trying to decide on, move them to a backup list. You can always add them back in if your budget allows. The menu: If you want a formal dinner, that's wonderful. If you can't afford it, there are many classy alternatives. Check out your favorite restaurant's catering menu. Many times their cost includes set up and clean up. (Of course, check with your venue first. Many have an existing list of caterers they will only work with.) And consider a buffet. Not only can it be more affordable, but it also ensures your guests will mingle and not just talk to the people at their table. The bar: Everyone wants to toast the bride and groom! But if a fully stocked bar and big cocktail selection aren't a priority for the happy couple, consider sticking to wine and beer only. For variety, you could offer one or two signature cocktails. The cake: Your wedding cake can be extravagant or it can be understated. Either way, your it can be a showpiece without breaking the bank. Many couples choose a smaller cake to cut for pictures and then serve sheet cake slices or cupcakes to the guests. One sure way to keep the cake cost down is to opt for buttercream frosting instead of fondant. It's your special day. You don't have to go broke to have the wedding of your dreams.
