treats, afternoon tea, as well as evening canapés and alcoholic drinks. Soak up tranquil vibes, whilst sipping a coffee or stop by for a quick aperitivo before dashing to dinner. London is one of the most exciting and diverse restaurant capitals in the world and Conrad London St James’ ideal locations means that you’ll be in close proximity to an impressive array of exceptional restaurants and bars. However, make sure you leave time for a meal at Blue Boar Restaurant in the hotel, too. It focusses predominantly on staples like steaks and burgers, but there’s plenty of other options too like a selection of seafood dishes (the pan-roasted halibut with Jerusalem artichoke, toasted hazelnut, truffle, herb crust, baby leeks, wild mushrooms & red wine jus is to die for), as well as a selection of fresh salads. And after dinner, pop into Blue Boar Bar for a politically-themed cocktail; how about a gin-based ‘Corbyn’s Reign’ or a ‘Theresa’s Kitten Heels’ which comes with vodka, blue curaçao, lime, sugar syrup and prosecco? Breakfast is served at Blue Boar Restaurant too – it comprises an extensive continental buffet which offers all the classics, as well as an à la carte menu. For another taste of British culture, head to Emmeline’s Lounge (named after British political activist Emmeline Pankhurst), where you can indulge in a quintessentially British afternoon tea or a Champagne brunch. If you’re travelling to London for work, Conrad London St James also offers an impressive business centre and numerous function rooms.
