It’s the most wonderful time of the year at London’s sky-high oasis, Sky Garden, where the city’s favourite glasshouse has embraced the festive season with glamour, live music and Moët & Chandon bubbles rising 35 floors above the capital. As the winter nights draw in, Sky Garden transforms into an atmospheric haven of twinkling lights, seasonal cocktails and elevated dining, offering the perfect backdrop for celebration in the clouds.
Champagne-Led Festivities with Moët & Chandon
Throughout the season, Sky Garden’s much-loved music nights are given a sparkling festive twist. ALR Music and resident DJs fill the space with uplifting live sets, creating the ideal soundtrack for evenings spent sipping champagne beneath the iconic greenhouse dome. At the heart of it all, the Moët & Chandon Festive Bar serves as a chic winter hideaway high above the city, inviting guests to toast to the season in style.
The cocktail menu makes a star of Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut, finishing a collection of creative serves. Highlights include the Imperial Yuzu, with its blend of yuzu marmalade and ginger liqueur; the Champagne Mirage, mixing Havana Club 7 Rum with tangerine and caramel syrup; and the Starlight Serenade, a beautifully balanced combination of Beefeater gin and apricot liqueur. Each is priced at £17.50 and pairs perfectly with Sky Garden’s festive small plates, sharing platters and indulgent cheese boards. Tickets for the live music evenings start from £16.50 and include a warming glass of mulled wine or cider, setting the tone for a joyful night above the skyline.
Seasonal Dining with a View
The festive magic continues across Sky Garden’s acclaimed restaurants. At the elegant Fenchurch, Chef de Cuisine Kerth Gumbs presents a five-course tasting menu that brings together refined British ingredients with Caribbean influences. Expect vibrant combinations such as jerk salmon ceviche with yuzu ponzu, roasted halibut topped with oscietra caviar, and grilled venison served with a curried sausage roll. The tasting menu begins at £125, with the option to elevate the experience further through curated wine and cocktail pairings, while a seasonal set menu offers two courses for £62 or three for £68.
A level above, the lively Darwin Brasserie on the 36th floor offers a more relaxed, yet equally festive dining experience. Guests can choose from the à la carte menu or enjoy the special two-course option from £74.50. For a celebratory daytime treat, the three-course Festive Brunch at £84.50 per person makes for an indulgent escape from the bustle below, complete with unparalleled panoramic views.
With sparkling music nights, exclusive Moët & Chandon cocktails and seasonal feasts crafted high above the city, Sky Garden offers a festive celebration like no other. Whether you’re planning a glamorous night out, a luxurious brunch or an unforgettable seasonal dining experience, there’s no better place to embrace the magic of winter in London.
