Penhaligon's Peoneve Multi Sensory Terrace at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge


A new terrace bar has opened on the 5th floor at Harvey Nichols, in partnership with perfumier Penhaligon.  Perfect for cocktails, but also check out the specially themed ice lollies!

"On Monday 16 July, to coincide with the exclusive launch of Penhaligon’s new fragrance Peoneve at Harvey Nichols, the Fifth Floor Terrace will be transformed into a stunningly eclectic and multi-sensory garden with an inventive cocktail menu and dessert menu inspired by the notes within the fragrance.
With the air filled with this delicate new scent and the surroundings decorated with vibrant colours, huge overgrown peonies and laser-cut insects the terrace will make you feel instantly transported to an English Garden, in high summer.
To match these magical surroundings an innovative range of cocktails have been specially created. We recommend the sharing Penhaligon’s Peony Punch which serves a group of six and is presented in an enormous iconic Penhaligon’s scent bottle. Alternatively, taste some fruity flavours and try The Rose Garden containing Naked Chase Vodka, raspberries, peach and apple juice.
Also inspired by the velvety scent of blossoming flowers, we have some delectable desserts available including White Chocolate & Peony Mousse and Gooseberry Fool with Elderflower & English Custard. As an added treat to your visit, Head Chef of the Fifth Floor Restaurant, Jonas Karlsson has put an adult spin on the ice lolly and created Boozy Pops in three flavours; The Posy, The Rhuberry and The Brambleflower."

Frank's Cafe Supper Rooftop Pop-up in Peckham


Update - Open for 2016 from Thursday 19th May 2016

It must be summer - Frank's Cafe & Campari Bar is re-opening in Peckham!  Now part of a tradition, the structure built on top of the multi storey car park provides both excellent food, drink and views.  It's open until September, and it's a definite 'must do'!  I'll try to write a review in the next couple of weeks.

"Frank's Cafe is part of the BOLD TENDENCIES SCULPTURE PROJECT in Peckham. 
Founded in 2007, Bold Tendencies has welcomed over 45,000 visitors in 2010 (30,000 in 2009).
Bold Tendencies is free to visit and has welcomed audiences from local residents
to international tourists. Press feedback has been universally positive, and leading figures from the art world have offered their praise.
The popular Frank’s Cafe designed by Practice Architecture (Paloma Gormley & Lettice Drake) occupies a temporary building alongside the sculptures on the roof. For 2011 we have commissioned two new structures for the space."

When - 30th June - 30th September
Thursday - Sunday 11am–10pm
Food served 12-2.30pm 6-10pm

Where - 10th Floor, Peckham Multi-Storey Carpark 95A Rye Lane, London SE15 4ST

"The Car Park is a well sign-posted 3 minute walk from Peckham Rye station.
Turn left down Rye Lane, and shortly turn right at the Abbey National building society, at which point you'll see the Multiplex cinema facing you. Take the yellow lift to the right of the cinema entrance to Level 6. Follow signs to Level 10.

Frank's Cafe & Campari Bar Pop-up in Peckham


Update - Open for 2016 from Thursday 19th May 2016

Ever since 2007, Frank's Cafe & Campari Bar has appeared on the roof of a multi-storey car park in Peckham during the summer.  It's pretty difficult to find (see directions below) but well worth it for the food, the ambiance, the design, and the views across London.

"The popular Frank’s Cafe & Campari Bar designed by Practice Architecture (Paloma Gormley & Lettice Drake) occupies a temporary building alongside the sculptures on the roof. For 2011 we have commissioned two new structures for the space. 
2011 will see the launch of two free audience programmes - a wide-ranging Events Calendar and Education for children and young people. Bold Tendencies is part of the Cultural Learning Alliance. 
Bold Tendencies 5 is part of the 2011 ‘Year of Sculpture’, initiated by the Henry Moore Foundation."
