Environment: The Sky Pod is located in the center of the area near the elevators. Place your order at the counter and grab one of the tables or lounge chairs in the area. What was ordered: A pint of Heineken and an Aspall Mulled Cyder. It was my first time trying the mulled cyder and I thought it was pretty tasty. It was sweet, slightly warm with a tangy orange taste. There was also a slice of orange in it. Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The Heineken was pretty basic but the cyder was very interesting. The view was also nice but would have been even better if it wasn't gloomy and drizzly; too bad we can't control the weather! A staff member will come by to collect your glass as soon as it's empty. It did take a while to find an empty spot since a lot of people were just sitting around even if they weren't drinking. Other than that, it was a nice experience to have while enjoying the view and the Garden. Credit cards are accepted.

Only had a view of the building next door. If outdoor seating with a view is just first come first serve, what's the point of a reservation? And then we sat there for 30 minutes ignored by the wait staff completely. That was after waiting 10 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Even attempts to flag down the staff or talk to anyone were dismissed. Eventually we just left without ordering anything. Seemed overpriced anyway.

This bar runs on the pricier side with cocktails ranging from 15-20 pounds. We also wanted some food/ small bites to share. The portions here are very small and on the pricier side. I highly recommend the burger sliders and cauliflower bites. The guac was good but a very tiny portion. We also got the duck bao buns but the duck did not taste fresh so I would not recommend ordering that.

In 9 out of 10 interactions, the staff were genuinely excellent--warm, attentive, and clearly trained in the fine art of making guests feel like royalty (as you'd expect at this price point). There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, a steady stream of live music drifting through the late afternoons into the evenings, and quite possibly the best cleaning and turn-down service I've ever encountered--truly next-level pillow fluffing. Now, my one gripe: the light--or lack thereof. Despite having three decently sized windows, they're covered in a mysterious film that blocks natural light more effectively than blackout curtains ever could. It gives the rooms (and oddly, the lobby too) a slightly subterranean vibe--perfect if you're a vampire, less ideal if you're someone who enjoys knowing whether it's day or night.

I had a couple of the different spritzes. some of my dinner companions had drinks that were smoking and had some cool effects to them. We had the mac and cheese bites, the shrimp lollypops and chicken wings for apps and the table ordered a variety of dishes both times in. I had the curry dishes each night with the tofu. This is where things went south for me. The tofu tasted off, like it went bad in the sauce. I thought the first time was an off night but the second night with a different curry dish also with tofu, I am not sure if something was off in the sauce or what the tofu may have been marinated.. but I did not eat more than the first bite on my second night in. I stuck with the apps and yummy drinks. Definitely a fun spot for happy hour, good vibes, good tunes and good drinks.

We went with three different options from their tasting menu/cocktail tour, and were wowed away by each and every round of the molecular cocktail experience! There were a range of flavours, temperatures, liquors, flavours and modes of "drinking" each of the rounds. Situated in the Shoreditch area, the location is great! The decker is also very trendy with the dimly lit speakeasy vibe. The service was great. Cannot wait until I'm in London again to go back and try another one of the options on the tasting menu.

The space isn't a true speakeasy as there's a clear entrance you go to, vs finding the secret entrance and all that jazz. Aside from that, the vibe is moody and chill. Menus are in the books at the tables. They offer ala carte drinks or you can choose their 5 drink tasting menu which is popular. We all got the tasting menu, every person getting a different theme. Drinks are creative, whimsical, fun and playful. I'm not much of a drinker so I was concerned this would be a bit much for me, but this is about the experience, the drinks werent too big or overly boozy, or anything. The themes from the 39 euro tasting menu are: 1. Cocktail history. This is the most traditional drink direction 2. Naughty childhood. Drinks are candy and dessert based. Not necessarily overly sweet so don't worry about that. 3. Nature. 4. West meets east. Asian themed drinks. This was most creative and I wish I got this one. 5. Gourmet. French themed. This is the one that didn't get chosen from our group. 6. Get ready and go. London themed. All the drinks were super creative. There was so much thought around presentation put into them. And they update their drinks regularly. I'll definitely come back so I can try more of the other themes. Note. They have very very minimal snacks available so make sure you eat ahead of time.

Overview: An excellent business hotel in the heart of London's financial district. The interior is…read morebeautiful and classy. This hotel was once a bank, and the conversion to a 74 room hotel was well executed. On the negative side, the sound insulation between rooms is inadequate, and the HVAC system is not equipped from very hot weather. Although not without flaws, Threadneedles impressed me overall. Arrival: Friendly and helpful doorman Check-in: Efficient and friendly check-in. Acknowledged my Marriott status. Room (314): Nice king room with all the usual appliances including Nespresso coffee maker, tea kettle, mini-refrigerator, iron, TV, etc. Bed: Good king bed, decent linens. Sleep quality: overall good but the walls are paper thin. I was fortunate that the neighboring rooms did not have noisy occupants at night. But in the morning, I could clearly hear a parent in the adjoining room lecturing his young daughter. Bathroom: Spacious bathroom with excellent tub. Housekeeping: excellent housekeeping service and turn down service. Service:Overall excellent service HVAC: I visited during a record setting heat wave in London, and the HVAC system in the room was completely inadequate. The room was hot the whole time. Fortunately, staff brought me a fan, the fan and my extreme fatigue were the only factors that allowed me to sleep the first night. Seriously consider another hotel of London is experiencing a heat wave. Tips: (1) I was able to take the train from Heathrow (had to change to a second train at Paddington), and it was an easy walk from the train station to the hotel even with a large suitcase. (2) There's a great pub 1 block away called The Counting House. (3) Threadneedles is in the heart of the financial district. Many pubs and restaurants in the area are not open on the weekend.

This was, hands-down, the single most beautiful hotel that I have ever stayed in. The staff was…read moreexceptional. Everything about the hotel was beyond first class. Upon walking in, you are greeted and in awe of the beautiful sitting area with its amazing stained glass dome. I found myself in awe each time I walked through. The rooms are also exceptional. Very tastefully decorated and not over the top, as some other higher-end hotels seem to be, lately. I also found that the cleaning service and turn-down service were magical. I don't know how they seemed to know when I had left my room, but upon my return it was always clean, and at night the turn-down service was a lovely surprise to find a small mint and a linen mist on my pillow. Now let's talk about something which is an often-overlooked feature of a hotel stay: the breakfast. This is typically a throwaway perk that anyone who travels a bit understands. At best, it's a spread of cereals and maybe a bagel or two. Most of the time it's served in a crappy lobby with coffee that has been sitting there for hours and servers who want to be anywhere else but there.  It usually screams, "Eat fast.  Please leave." Not here. Oh no. Even the breakfast is next level here. Sure, it contained all the normal things you would expect, such as bagels, toast, and cereal, but then they took it to the next level with some beautiful doughnuts, sliced meats and some cheese, yogurt with all the toppings you could want, and a beautiful selection of sliced fruit. However, what really made the breakfast experience phenomenal were the people. Specifically, Amesh, Epon, and Mohin. Each morning when I would walk through the doors, I would be greeted, and they would immediately take a coffee or tea order to go make it themselves. They were also incredibly friendly and attentive. I found their smiles infectious and a great way to start the day. This type of attitude was prevalent amongst all the staff.  They were simply the friendliest people of my day, and that really meant a lot when you are thousands of miles from home, in a city you don't know, by yourself.  Thank you!
