We honestly can't think of a better backdrop to pop the question than Wagtail Rooftop Bar & Restaurant. Totally gorgeous inside out, with a stunning rooftop terrace and beautifully chic interiors, it's the ultimate spot for a romantic, special occasion meal with your future fiance.
The elegant dining rooms of The Egerton House Hotel make for a beautiful backdrop for your big moment. With so much on offer here, the hardest part is knowing when to pop the question.
You could set the mood with an indulgent afternoon tea, get down on one knee over a martini-paired lunch or wait for the evening to propose with fine dining and champagne. With rings on fingers and smiles on faces, you can cap off the night with a signature cocktail or head upstairs to stay in a seriously stylish room.
Directly opposite Kensington Palace, Cheneston's restaurant at The Milestone Hotel adds sophisticated sparkle to your special occasion. Serving up salmon from London's oldest smokery and prime cuts of meat on silver trolleys, every dish is as carefully considered as your decision to pop the question.
Calm your nerves with a glass of fizz on arrival or fuel up for the big moment with hearty homemade dishes like buckwheat linguine, smoked duck breast and dry aged sirloin steak.
If you're looking for subtle wow-factor in your proposal-bar, check out Rake's Café Bar located within the unique five-star lifestyle hotel Andaz London Liverpool Street. Whether you come for cocktails, breakfast, lunch or brunch, you will be hosted by a team of individual characters - all with a love of wine, food and cocktails. Which will come handy if all goes to plan…
Ready to pop the question? We know just the place to do so. Disrepute is Soho's answer to the cool and hedonistic vibe of the 60s, making it an impressive and memorable place to propose. Celebrate with stunning cocktails and bubbles once they say yes.
Considering that it's been voted the best bar in the world more than a handful of times, it's no wonder that Nightjar is such a gem when it comes to somewhere amazing to propose in London. Vintage, with speakeasy charm, live jazz and cocktails, this is your ultimate and unique proposal go-to.
For an unbelievably elegant backdrop to your engagement snaps, say I do to the Leopard Room. A private bar and restaurant opposite the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace, it's got plenty of wow factor before you even walk in the door.
There's all kinds on offer to set the mood, from canapes and champagne to fine dining and live entertainment. With room for 20 seated or 40 on their feet, you can share you special moment with all of your nearest and dearest or a more chosen few.
